![]() Jackson recently signed a long-term extension to stay in Baltimore for the long term after questions about his future were asked throughout the offseason. Update: As requested by Nick in the comments, here’s a graph showing the win percentage of the team that threw for more gross passing yards in each game.Coming in second on this list is former MVP Lamar Jackson. The table below shows the information from the chart above but in data form: The 2009 season was certainly an outlier other than that, there doesn’t seem to be much of an increase over time (at least since the mid-’80s) in winning percentage for 300+ yard passers. The graph below shows both pieces of information: in blue, and measured against the left Y-Axis, shows winning percentage by year when a quarterback throws for 300+ yards in red, and against the right Y-Axis, is the percentage of all games where a quarterback hit the 300+ yard mark: Over the last four years, quarterbacks have thrown for 300+ yards in 25% of all games, an enormous increase relative to most of NFL history. Of course, the likelihood of a quarterback throwing for 300+ yards has increased significantly. Over the last five years (2010 to 2014), quarterbacks have won 52% of games when cracking that mark during the decade of the ’90s, quarterbacks won 53% of their games when throwing for 300+ yards. And that mark remains the highest in modern history. Including playoffs, quarterbacks who threw for 300+ yards in a game during the 2009 season won an incredible 63.3% of games. With the benefit of hindsight, I think the answer is…. Jason wondered whether that was something fluky, or a sign of the shifting nature of the NFL. Back in December 2009, Jason Lisk wrote about a recent trend in the NFL: quarterbacks throwing for 300 passing yards and actually winning.
