No records in any sport are ever safe, and the addition of a 17th regular-season game does theoretically endanger Brady's spot in the history books. So we'd be remiss to not at least include the wins rankings. Yet given the significance of the position, the connection of wins to the best QBs in the sport is not coincidental. "Wins" aren't a real "stat," per se, as football games are played by football teams, not just by quarterbacks. Matt Ryan is next with 20, followed by Josh Allen with. While postseason stats aren't often used as historical markers (owing to the inconsistent opportunities presented to every player to actually partake in such contests), it's nevertheless striking to see where Brady sits on those leaderboards as well.Īmong active QBs behind Brady and Rodgers, there is Patrick Mahomes with 28 playoff touchdowns, with Russell Wilson and Joe Flacco tied for fourth with 25 touchdowns apiece. But outside of that, Brady's distance from the NFL's all-time leaders in this category speaks volumes about his play. This is, obviously, not a list that quarterbacks want to climb.Īaron Rodgers, who's tied for the 128th-most interceptions, may end up with a better TD-to-INT ratio. That would be by listing where he sits on the all-time interceptions list. While Brady is the all-time leader in these volume stats, now is the right time to throw in one of the best ways to summarize his place in NFL history.

Brady has since elevated even more, already with more than 4,000 yards of distance between himself and his brief NFC south rival.Īmong active quarterbacks, nobody is within 24,000 yards of Brady.ĥ. Brees and Brady once existed in their own stratosphere. It's a similar scene in the passing yards category. Peyton Manning ranks third, 85 TDs behind Brady.Īmong active QBs, Rodgers ranks second, with 449 TDs - or 175 fewer than Brady. Brees ranks a distant second, with 53 fewer touchdowns. Brady's the only QB to hit the 600-TD mark, as he has thrown 624 touchdowns in his long career. Brady's obviously achieved that feat, distancing himself a bit last year from Brees. What a young QB may hope to one day become is the all-time leader in touchdown passes. Nobody ever aspires to be the all-time leader in completions.
That, though, is just the completions record, inarguably the least exciting of the records. Among active quarterbacks, Matt Ryan has 5,242 completions (2,021 fewer than Brady) and Aaron Rodgers has 4,651 (2,612 fewer than Brady). He's the all-time leader in completions, with 7,263.
