You could make the valid argument that Bert Jones' 1976 MVP season was the greatest passing season of all-time especially when you consider the context in which it occurred and how the 1970s were basically the dead ball era of NFL passing pre-Mel Blount Rule

There was not much of checkdown type west coast game until the 80s. They threw the ball deep back then. A lot. Tight ends weren’t a big part of the passing game. I dont know how good a lot of these guys today and even montana woulda been back in that era. Plus those qbs were better athletes because they had to execute more five, seven, and twelve step drop backs. Nowadays the shotgun elimates the dropback.

I like both eras because they’re so different. Football has changed more than any sport because it has the deepest amount of strategy.
