2nd in all time passing??

"He is currently 2nd in all-time professional football passing yards." yet when you click the link, it has him in 5th, so yeah.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.6.142.162 (talk) 00:33, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, he's second all-time in the CFL, fifth in pro football. Thanks. DoubleBlue (talk) 04:17, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

I never liked these 'in pro football' things anyway. CFL and NFL football are two different animals. Dbrodbeck (talk) 12:16, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

That's one bad picture. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.79.16.144 (talk) 02:11, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Incorrect that 2004 was first team to have four receivers over 1000 yards

Edmonton Eskimos of late 70s/early 80s did it on (I believe) more than one occasion. Blue Bombers around the same time may have, as well. 2004 Alouettes were definitely NOT the first. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.2.220.8 (talk) 17:12, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

Difference in the number of Downs: Canadian Football league vs. National Football league

I have made edits to Anthony Calvillo's page twice now, and had them reverted. However, I believe that it is important for the readers of this section be made aware that the number of yard (79, 816) Cavillo achieved in his career were completed during 3 downs, in accordance with Canadian rules, vs. four downs in accordance with the NFL rules, making the number of yards much more impressive.

For example if one wants to calculate 100 yards per game, it would mean that the 3 down Canadian rule require the achievement of 33.3 yards per play, as opposed to the NFL standard of 4 downs, which would mean that American quarterbacks produce 25 yards per play.

I am suggestion the inclusion of a footnote, referencing the following: Canadian football rules allow for 3 downs per play as opposed to the NFL rules which stipulate 4 downs

Here is a link to the current CFL rule book regarding series of downs, and brief excerpt:

https://cfldb.ca/rulebook/scrimmage/series-of-downs/

SECTION 6 — SERIES OF DOWNS Article 1 — 10 Yards On Three Downs

Team A shall have three downs in which to gain the required distance of 10 yards. A down may be repeated following the application of a penalty against either team. If in a series of three downs, Team A has not gained the required 10 yards, the ball shall be awarded to the opponents as first down at the point where the ball becomes dead. If the required 10 yards are gained, a new series of downs begins.
