Now there’s a couple things you can look at like completion percentage and passer rating, but total yards is obviously going to be skewed in the favor of the modern day QB. They just didn’t throw as much back then. Here’s the number of passes Boomer attempted in his 3 playoff games in 88 (19, 20, 25). Here’s Dalton’s in his 4 games (42, 30, 51, 35).

I agree, different rules 30 years ago, defensive backs could mug receivers, QB's could be picked up and thrown to the ground or try and break their neck (Steelers against Kenny Anderson).

They did not throw as much because it was harder to throw it a lot back then.
