Lets get back to Carter, last year you said he threw for 3,302 yards. Lets see how that stacks up with other franchises
If QC was on the Dolphins:
Dan Marino alone has 12 seasons with better passing marks, so he would already be #13 on the Dolphins single season passing yards list
If QC was on the Broncos:
Elway has 9 seasons better then Carter's total last year, so all ready he would be 10th on their career list
If QC was on the 49ers:
Montana had 6 better seasons than QC
Young had 4 seasons better than QC
Garcia has had 3 seasons better than QC
So QC would be #14 on the 49ers single season passing chart
If QC was on the Packers:
Favre has had 11 seasons better
L.Dickey had 2 seasons better
R.Wright had 1 season better
D.Majkowski had 1 season better
So QC would be #16 on the Packers all time list
Couldnt agree with you more. Even though all the teams you put against QC had the game's best q.bs ever. Your absolutely right.
Another thing I agree with you, 3,302 isnt really that great to many people, but to me it's not bad that. Reason 1 is he improved from a terrible 1,465 yrs the year before to 3,302. This means Carter's taking steps ahead in improving to be a better quarter back. Reason 2 is Carter had more yards last season than Delhomme, Garcia, Mcnabb, Ramsey, Collins, Blake, Harrington, Steward, Mcnair, Plumme, Pennigton, Holocomb, Gannon, Leftwich, Bledsoe, Fielder, Carr, Brees, and Boeller.

I guess you were talking about Nell Carter or Jimmy Carter.
So if you saw Delhomme, Garcia, Mcnabb, Ramsey, Collins, Blake, Harrington, Steward, Mcnair, Plumme, Pennigton, Holocomb, Gannon, Leftwich, Bledsoe, Fielder,
Carr , Brees, and Boeller's stats you would get them mixed up with Jimmy Carter? Well I guess you can see it that way....

For the answer, look at what they did without a running game.
Aikman-Nothing Franchise WORST season
Staubach-The 1963 Heisman Trophy winner showed up in Dallas as a 27-year-old rookie, but in those 11 seasons still managed carve out the franchise's all-time leading quarterback rating of 83.42 and became a five-time NFL passing champion. But Staubach almost became better known for his scrambling ability, and to this day ranks eighth on the Cowboys' all-time rushing list with 2,264 yards.
Staubach owns the second most passing yards in club history, 22,700, and his 3,586 in 1979 still ranks as the second most passing yards in a single season for the Cowboys. He also still leads the club with a career average of 7.67 yards per attempt and his three, 300-yard passing performances in 1979 has him tied for the single-season lead with Don Meredith and Danny White.
Staubach also become known as "Captain Comeback" for his 23 fourth-quarter come-from-behind victories in regular season and playoff games, including 14 in the final two minutes or overtime. Never was this more apparent than in a 1975 playoff game against the Minnesota Vikings when Staubach connected with wide receiver Drew Pearson on a desperation 50-yard "Hail Mary" touchdown pass that knocked the Vikings out of the playoffs.
"You could never defeat Roger mentally or physically," late Cowboys head coach Tom Landry said in 1983. "He was like that in a game, in practice, or in the business world."
Staubach ended his Cowboys career with four Super Bowl appearances, including wins in Super Bowls VI and XII. In Super Bowl VI, Staubach was named the game's Most Valuable Player.
White- 15 straight winning seasons (using the supporting cast from Staubach in a Steve Youngesque way).
So Yes, Roger Staubach was a prolific passer for his time. Danny White followed the blueprint and Aikman was at the helm when the ship sank.
Oh..Yes, and Carter is getting ready to lose his spot to a baseball player.
Wait, White had an awesome RB. Infact a hall of famer. Ever heard of Tony Dorsett?
