My gut tells me it’s all about Bill Walsh and the safer, West Coast-style short passes in the flat.

Still, the change to the new blocking rules and the 10 yard holding penalty change from 15 seemed to be quite a change in increase in passing. For example, the tremendous increase in passing yards and TD’s by Staubach and Bradshaw from 1977 onward.

The eras link was very interesting too.
