Title: Manning nears 60,000 Post by: Creek Walker on September 11, 2013, 08:43:18 EDT I did not realize until I saw this tweet earlier that Peyton Manning is so far ahead of Marino and Favre in the quest to reach 60,000 yards, in terms of yards-per-pass:
"P.Manning needs 51 yds to become 3rd in NFL history to 60,000 pass yds. Has 7,835 att. Marino reached 60k in att. 8,130. Favre in 8,551." Title: Re: Manning nears 60,000 Post by: murfvol on September 11, 2013, 08:45:08 EDT Astounding
Title: Re: Manning nears 60,000 Post by: Black Diamond Vol on September 11, 2013, 09:07:09 EDT If you assume an average season of 4000 yds and 30 TDs, he's going to need about 3 more years to break all of Favre's records. If he can also win another ring or two, he'll have a pretty solid argument for being the best QB ever.

I don't disagree at all...BUT, when you look at it that way, you're making the assumption that Favre is the best QB ever. And that's definitely an assumption I would not agree with.

And that's definitely an assumption I would not agree with. I don't think Favre is the best ever (at this point, I'd still go with Montana). But if Peyton finishes his career holding every major passing record AND 2-3 rings, he's got a really strong case. |
