 Sent to you by Tom via Google Reader: 2007 Passing Numbers via Windy
City Gridiron by WCG on 1/17/08 You'd think we had a functional offense
or something.
Bears quarterbacks Brian Griese, Rex Grossman and Kyle Orton combined
to throw for 3,701 gross passing yards and 3,362 net yards in 2007, the
third highest totals in both categories in franchise history.
Four of the Bears' six highest net passing totals have come during Ron
Turner's two stints as offensive coordinator (1993-96; 2005-07). The
Bears set team passing records in 1999 with 4,352 gross yards and 4,136
net yards.
Brian Griese led the Bears in all passing categories in 2007 with 1,803
yards, 10 touchdowns and a 75.6 passer rating.
>From Week 4 through the rest of the season, the Bears produced 25
completions of at least 25 yards, which tied for third most in the NFL
behind only New England (31) and Green Bay (30).
Eight different receivers hauled in 25-plus-yard catches during that
span. Griese led the team with 13 such pass plays during that stretch,
while Grossman registered nine (10 total) and Orton had three.
