Brees has been slowly going after the record for the past few years so its not that surprising he might actually break it this season.

Probably could have broken it last year if it wasn't for the large amount of INTs (22) he threw which killed a bunch of quality Saints drives. I think only Eli Manning had more INTs last year.

The main reason why a lot of quarterbacks had huge passing numbers was due to the lack of training camps hurting defenses more this year than offenses. Newton himself had like 800+ yards in the first 2 games and then settled down as the season went on.
