Any discussion of greatest QB- or WR for that matter- of all time needs to take this phenomenon into account. As Fred mentioned earlier, this has been a gradual but steady trend, and it's only going to get more inflated unless some unforeseen force compels the powers that be to return the game to a greater semblance of its former self. A lot of today's QBs may not have been able to compile their stats back in the day simply because they may not have been physically able to step on the field in the first place. Conversely, many of the QBs in the past may have been able to flourish in today's game because of the protections afforded today.
