Quarterback records vs the NFL's best defenses
September 7th, 2011 | NFL, Random Musings, Sports, Steelers
ri;”>Listed directly below are statistically the top 5 defenses (in yards per play allowed) the last 3 years. I used statfox.com to get the yards per play stats. You will notice that for 2010 there are 7 defenses listed. That is because there was a tie in 5thplace with the Bears, miami, and carolina by which they all allowed the same amount of yards per play. Listed below that is just about all the top quarterbacks that you here of and their records last 3 years (If applicable) against the top defenses.

Pretty good info. Seems like Arians should get some credit for this too.
Vick was a product of a cake schedule last season. He played the Redskins, Jaguars and Texans, three of the worst pass defenses in the league (Texans were ranked 32nd in 2010). All of this talk about him being elite after being a career 79 rated passer prior to 2010 is BS. Until he is consistently good as a passer he is not elite.
