Big violation of WP:NOTSTATSBOOK, QBs have 300 yards pretty much every week so this isn't even a notable statistic, and is badly written and formatted to boot. We already have a List of NFL quarterbacks who have passed for 400 or more yards in a game article, so this is also redundant. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 21:31, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete my hat is off to the editor or editors who worked to prepare this information and source it. However, I have to agree with the nominator. I do find it interesting to look at the number of 300-yard games (as opposed to just a list of 400 yard games) as a potential, useful measure for those who study and follow professional football. I'll even go as far as to say I like it. Unfortunately, none of those reasons are enough to pass the muster of notability. Darn. Perhaps the enthusiastic editors may try another wiki with this information?--Paul McDonald (talk) 02:06, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. 300-yard games is just not that notable or infrequent these days, unless you're Julio Jones. Clarityfiend (talk) 09:10, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, much too frequent an occurrence to keep track of. Lizard (talk) 02:30, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Well, aren't home runs too frequent an occurrence to keep track of. Lol, jk. Home runs are more important than 300 yard games. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 02:42, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
