Does anyone know where Purdy ranked in the all-time yards per attempt in NFL history? I know he was close to 9.9 ahead of Marino and Warner. Thanks

It's funny how nobody cares that much about records in the NFL. Rule changes and equipment changes along with adding another game have made records kind of a joke. How many fans know without looking it up how many yards Emmitt Smith had. It may be because there are so many different stats in football that nobody can keep up with all of them.
In baseball, the fans had a cow when Bonds broke the HR record because he was accused of taking steroids in an era when half the league was. That record was considered sacred. Not so with passing yards, TDs, rushing yards, passer rating, etc, etc.
