While I'm not saying that he wouldn't have a chance at breaking the record otherwise, I feel like this season has lent some help to all these offensive breakouts by some players/teams this year.

I mean with the whole lockout mess it seemed to really effect the defenses, especially early in the season. You had tons of QBs pulling of 400+ passing games early in the season, even if they were not high calibur; example Henne on the Dolphins.

In general offenses seemed ahead of defenses this year.

So yeah if Brees does break the record he deserves it of course, but I will always have in the back of mind a "what if" of whether the lackluster D early in the year gave him enough of an advantage that maybe things would have turned out differently otherwise.
