x0x Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Obviously his playoff numbers are going to be eternal for a variety of reasons not least of which is the 4 game playoff schedule for all but 2 teams now (they probably eventually get rid of BYEs let's be honest) and additional games bringing wear and tear and closing margins. The career numbers however all seem touchable considering how the game continues to evolve. The passing yards specifically could be broken within 20 years actually. But maybe there are some on here who think his 7 rings could be eclipsed by non-QB position players like a Kicker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancerman Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 The 17th game and the easier passing rules each year make it so that it's attainable to get the regular season records in yards and touchdowns. It will probably take awhile but Mahomes will have a shot if he doesn't dip back to Earth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlowe22 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 All of the regular season records will go down at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkippyX Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 All of his regular season stats are possibly attainable by current players if they play well into their 40s. Matt Ryan is less than 25k back in passing yards. He's turning 37 next year. (6 years averaging about 4170) Rodgers is 175 back in TDs and is turning 39 in December. (5 years averaging 36 TDs) Ryan and Stafford are both 12 back in GWD. (Brady is tied with Manning at 54 even if PFR has not ticked to 54 from the Jets game on the records page) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Brady is tied with Manning at 54 even if PFR has not ticked to 54 from the Jets game on the records page) With all the Brady bonanza it's easy to forget there have only been 3 other QBs to play significant time in their 40s last two decades. Testaverde, Favre and Brees with only Brees having nice numbers in his 40 and 41 season while Favre did have a nice 40 season. Prior to that you also had Moon with a tremendous 41 season in 1997 (underrated) and Flutie starting a handful of games. Yeah the game has changed but we can't automatically expect numerous QBs to play at age 40-41 all of a sudden. That said Ryan doesn't have a ring, so who knows how long he keeps it up. No way Rodgers playing 5 more years though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only four players not named Brady have passed for more than 2,000 yards after their 40th birthday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnguy2015 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 (edited) To put it another way, Brady passed for 18,361 yards after turning 41. Every other player in NFL history has passed for 14,548 yards combined. Edited February 2, 2022 by jonnguy2015 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stafford maybe but he's always dealt with nagging injuries. I feel like Mahomes will most likely be the next guy to challenge for those records. He'll probably get them barring a major injury since he'll have a leg up just based off the fact that his first year was in 2018 and he'll play the majority of his career in a 17-18 game era. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncofan Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 (edited) QB Suspensions. Definitely can be caught there, he’s already been caught by Michael Vick, Big Ben and likely Watson. Edited February 2, 2022 by Broncofan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stafford would need to play til age 43 and average 4,000 yards per season to do it... Not saying it's impossible but not very likely. Edit: Noticed he mentioned game winning drivesc with Stafford and not yards... That one is a little more possible.

LieutenantGains Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Regular season records probably will be because of the rules. His playoff and Super Bowl records will still be there when we're all dead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any QB that stays healthy gains an entire season of stats in 16 years (so age 22 to 38). That's one of the little things that would definitely make it feasible.

Brady was suspended because Goodell is allowed to make things up. (per appeals court ruling after a court ruled the whole thing was BS) The appeals court said he has absolute power, not that he was right. Its an actual matter of public record that there was zero proof that Brady did anything wrong. This is for the non-fanatics though. You can always wear the tin foil and pretend your team's walkthroughs were taped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFlaccoSeagulls Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 If anyone has time today, some things I would like to know: If a QB played for 10 years and all 17 games/season, What would they have to average to pass Brady's passing yards? same question but 15 years same question but 10 years and passing TD's same question but 15 years and passing TD's That might give us an indication of how quickly Brady's records will fall to someone like Mahomes or Allen.
