All Time 3,000 and 1,000 Yard Performances (1 Viewer)

[Horrorshow]

Below is a breakdown of every instance of a 3,000+ yard passing, 1,000+ yard rushing and 1,000+ yard pass receiving season since the National Football League's inaugural season in 1920.

The first column shows the decade / era in question. The second indicates the number of 3,000+ yard passing seasons during that period. The third column show the same for 1,000+ yard rushing campaigns and the fourth is the equivalent for 1,000+ pass receiving years.

For instance we can see that between 1960 and 1969, there were 31 occasions when a player rushed for at least 1,000 yards during any one single season during that ten year period. Cleveland’s Jim Brown recorded 5 of those 31 occurrences.

2000 - 2006 = 109 Pass / 130 Rush / 142 Rec

1990 - 1999 = 118 Pass / 128 Rush / 170 Rec

1980 - 1989 = 111 Pass / 101 Rush / 119 Rec

1970 - 1979* = 20 Pass / 79 Rush / 30 Rec

1960 - 1969 = 33 Pass / 31 Rush / 75 Rec

1920 - 1959 = 0 Pass / 10 Rush / 14 Rec

* 16 of the 20 3,000 yard passing seasons, 23 of the 79 1,000 yard rushing seasons and 16 of the 30 1,000 yard pass receiving seasons came in 1978 or 1979 after the NFL expanded the regular season from 14 to 16 games.

you should divide by years in existence

How were Clevland, Baltimore, and Indy handled?

As a patriots fan I zeroed in on the New England numbers...interesting to see 17 years with a 3k passer, but only 9 years with a 1k receiver...seems it's not just the Belichick-style-patriots who spread the ball around...
