Fun Fact: Arnie Herber was the only quarterback pre 1940s who even had receivers run "real" routes. Every other Qb before him were just backyard qbs completing lucky passes.
Arnie Herber’s career stats are kind of laughable now. 81tds, 106 int, 40% completion percentage and a passer rating of 50.1. Regardless, he’s still a hall of famer and an all time great.
And the man he passed to become #1 passer is Fran Tarkenton. And Fran had even less rules on his side, and played most of his career with 14 games a season. And he held that record for 19 years! The game has changed so much and the quarterbacks are staying healthier and playing longer. I wonder what the stats are for average yards per season of each QB’s career. That was a great vid to see how each QB moved up on the list.
Not many modern QBs would have done as well earlier, Brady defiantly would have as his ability to read defenses and decision making alone would have far outclassed the older school defenses. Defenses are so much more sophisticated now days and yet his trade mark is his ability to read them faster than they can move and being stupid accurate with his intent. Brady is also A-ok throwing the ball away to live another down which would help him a lot. And if you watched that 2015 AFC champ game (hit 22x in the pocket) and still almost won it with a depleted offense he can definitely hang with the old school. The 2000's after all was a very smash mouth era "he got jacked up!!!" Rodgers would have been pretty ok as well though he game is based on the 8seconds after the 5seconds he had in the pocket and if defenses have more room to hit he's definitely taking a bigger beating. Peyton in a non salary cap era on a team like the 49ers would have 3x the QB Montana was easily atleast in the regular season, but if he ended up on a team that couldn't buy him the best of everything he may have a hard time. It's hard to say for Brees, he's had a loaded offense that played in a lot of catch-up ball so his states are a bit inflated as teams play softer defense when their up by a lot late. John elway today would do a bit better today as he's the Superior version of Rodgers. Warren moon would actually be allowed to play in the NFL earlier in his career so he would have much better maybe all time leader numbers.
@@billcephus reading fast and throwing quick passes and being accurate has never been negative traits. Brady has also done what he has done with 7 dozen different players catching TDs and with talent more pedestrian than good on average, with only 4seasons having a 1k rusher and a O-Line more average than good. In a uncapped era in a situation like Montana or Aikmen with a similar supporting cast, Brady would be more than fine. Those two mentioned QBs played on super teams while Brady has had to been the tide that lifts all ships for his 18 play seasons in N.E
@@user-nd7rd8jo6h To say that Brady hasn’t benefited from good receivers and o-line/overall defense is just stupid. He might not have had anyone to throw to his last two or three years in New England but come on. Your qbs like Rodgers, Marino, Peyton and Favre would dominate in any era

Watching Brady, Rivers, Manning, and Roethlisberger’ climb this chart makes me nostalgic of the decade+ of seeing them air it out for the top 2 spots in AFC. Those teams, including the Ravens, were fun to watch.
Johnny unitas was the pioneer of modern day quarter backing he put up those numbers back when it was a real mans game. RIP to the only true goat Johnny unitas !
@@Tubalcain422 They would have lots more yards and touchdowns for sure. Their one advantage though was no salary cap. So once you had a good team around you, you could keep them.
Brady has a realistic shot at nearly 90k yards! It may never be broken if he can set that. With there being 17 games now in the regular season, I expect to see this list completely change in the next 10-15 years, but Brees and Brady will likely still have set such a high bar it will no doubt take an unbelievable career to equal or best them.
I actually played on my high-school football team with YA Tittles grandson Luke Tittle. Got to meet him once when we all went to YA'S house for a party lol 😂😂

So many shocking things about this. Seeing Ben Roethlisberger that low, Eli that high, Warren Moon I didn’t realize was that high. Makes you realize a guy like Sammy Baugh must have been an absolute revelation back in the day.
Dan was and still is the man to me, he was typically the only weapon on his team and was basically a statue in the backfield, all defensive knew he would be passing and year after year Dan did exactly that, I don't think the man has 10 yards rushing in his career, Dan was the complete pocket passing quarterback, I was young when Fran played and Fouts, I saw Marinos entire career and no one tossed a pigskin better.

@@carlosjohnson8625 Peyton Manning is the best regular-season passer of all time. Marino is second to him. Again, regular season. But playoffs are almost a different game. Neither of them was great in the playoffs. Putting up huge numbers in the regular season is different from playoff presure.

Rodgers wont win anything again. Not as long as Brady is in the NFC and Mahomes is in the AFC. He should just do State Farm ads and pose with $Cum Newton on GQ covers.
All NFL rules favoring the passing offense has had a larger impact. A player is still going to have to play a long time to get up to Brady/Breese territory.

Slinging Sammy Baugh, first to 10,000 yards and first to 20,000 as well. Was the one that made people sit up and take notice that this newfangled forward pass just might be an effective offensive weapon!
Norm Snead played a long time. Taken in the same draft as Fran Tarkenton, and ironically involved in a trade for him later on. Didn't have as good of a career though.
@@SUPERSTREETx That is a very big if. Hard to stay healthy. Hard to keep adjusting as defenses figure you out. Hard for the team around to stay great as your salary eats more and more of the cap. May be great fun to watch him try, happy to root for him - great young man. But the odds his over all career matches Brady's are not great.
@@SUPERSTREETx The NFL rules keep moving toward favoring offense and passing in particular, so sooner or later all passing records will probably be broken. If the rules had remained constant it would have been very hard to eclipse TB12.
@@rodc4334 Hard to stay healthy, huh? Have we had any quality starting QB's over the age of 36 in the 60's-90's? Yet we have Brady, Ben, Rodgers, Ryan, Brees and Rivers the previous season still starting for their teams as they're either approaching 40 or over it. If anything because of rule changes and more safety consideration (except for adding an extra game) it's never been easier for a QB to try to maintain health as long as the team takes care of them (I'm looking at you, Colts!).

If Warren Moon’s combine passing yards were included ( while he was an allowed to play quarterback in the NFL) he would surpass everyone’s total.... 70,553 total passing yards!!!!!
I can’t decide if Vinnie Testaverde was good or not. He’s a leader in all categories, both good and bad. So...good enough to stay around for a long, long time. But I’ve never seen anyone else be on so many all-time lists who won’t ever be in the HOF.
All things considered, Tarkenton being 13th in '20 is prob the most impressive part of this. The fact Eli is 8th, speaks to the era. Wish I could see what Jim Kelly and Dan Marino would look like in today's game.
Fran Tarkenton was in first for almost 20 years, then stayed in the top 10 for 40 years after retiring. Shows how long it took for other teams to have their own “Fran Tarkenton” and many teams still haven’t had a franchise QB that was on or above his level while the Packers had 2 and the Colts had 3 if you count Unitas and Luck. And technically the Broncos had 2, in terms of starters, but not in terms of franchise yards.

This is the shit I live for. You've won my sub :)
Slinging Sammy Baugh, first to 10,000 yards and first to 20,000 as well. Was the one that made people sit up and take notice that this newfangled forward pass just might be an effective offensive weapon!
Nobody talking about matty ice on his way to the top 5
Tarkenton held the passing yards record for 20 years? Damn.
And still #13 all time. Incredibly impressive based on how different the game is.
Marino was a beast back in his day
This graphic concept is amazing!
Man the 90s was such a great decade

@@darbsevens8778 I agree. I haven't watched the pros, especially, for years. Only college. And even that is fading in my eyes. 😢😢.
Cant believe Tarkenton still ranks 6th when he played almost his whole career in 14 game seasons and the rules didn't favor passing or protect QB's .
He doesn’t. He’s 13th.
@@turtlevader yea I didn't notice that it was a updating list haha my bad .
@@ThatCarGuy Sure it does. Are you blind?
Ol' Norm Snead shows up here for a few years. I got his autograph when I was a kid - Centuries Ago .......
Norm Snead played a long time. Taken in the same draft as Fran Tarkenton, and ironically involved in a trade for him later on. Didn't have as good of a career though.
We’re gonna miss drew
I remember being 10 yesterday old and fran tarkenton holding the record and I thought he was a GOD.....I LOVE HOW THE GAME HAS EVOLVED
Amazing that 7 of the Top 15 quarterbacks on the final list have never won a Super Bowl. Great video
Excellent video! Great work 👍
I'd still take Julian Edelman as one of my starting 4 wide outs
Fran Tarkenton, impressive.
These graphs always trip me out especially the sports ones
04 was a heck of a draft. 3 Qbs here.
When Brady retires he will have most passing touch down most passing yards he has every record u can think of
He already has the most passing tds but if PM keeps playing like he is now, in like 10-15yrs he gonna break all those records.
@@SUPERSTREETx That is a very big if. Hard to stay healthy. Hard to keep adjusting as defenses figure you out. Hard for the team around to stay great as your salary eats more and more of the cap. May be great fun to watch him try, happy to root for him - great young man. But the odds his over all career matches Brady's are not great.
@@rodc4334 yea fr Biden stole the election.
@@SUPERSTREETx The NFL rules keep moving toward favoring offense and passing in particular, so sooner or later all passing records will probably be broken. If the rules had remained constant it would have been very hard to eclipse TB12.
@@rodc4334 Hard to stay healthy, huh? Have we had any quality starting QB's over the age of 36 in the 60's-90's? Yet we have Brady, Ben, Rodgers, Ryan, Brees and Rivers the previous season still starting for their teams as they're either approaching 40 or over it. If anything because of rule changes and more safety consideration (except for adding an extra game) it's never been easier for a QB to try to maintain health as long as the team takes care of them (I'm looking at you, Colts!).
Great work on these stats!
Drew Brees is my favorite QB the dedication and will power he had gives me hope.
That 2004 QB draft class though...
Not many modern QBs would have done as well earlier, Brady defiantly would have as his ability to read defenses and decision making alone would have far outclassed the older school defenses. Defenses are so much more sophisticated now days and yet his trade mark is his ability to read them faster than they can move and being stupid accurate with his intent. Brady is also A-ok throwing the ball away to live another down which would help him a lot. And if you watched that 2015 AFC champ game (hit 22x in the pocket) and still almost won it with a depleted offense he can definitely hang with the old school. The 2000's after all was a very smash mouth era "he got jacked up!!!"
Rodgers would have been pretty ok as well though he game is based on the 8seconds after the 5seconds he had in the pocket and if defenses have more room to hit he's definitely taking a bigger beating.
Peyton in a non salary cap era on a team like the 49ers would have 3x the QB Montana was easily atleast in the regular season, but if he ended up on a team that couldn't buy him the best of everything he may have a hard time.
It's hard to say for Brees, he's had a loaded offense that played in a lot of catch-up ball so his states are a bit inflated as teams play softer defense when their up by a lot late.
John elway today would do a bit better today as he's the Superior version of Rodgers.
Warren moon would actually be allowed to play in the NFL earlier in his career so he would have much better maybe all time leader numbers.
Brady is in first by a ton of you include playoff yards. Has been for a few years now.
This one thee most interesting videos I've seen 👏
very good thank you
My man Arnie was killing back in the day
This is awesome
If Warren Moon’s combine passing yards were included ( while he was an allowed to play quarterback in the NFL) he would surpass everyone’s total.... 70,553 total passing yards!!!!!
I remembered I was at the Purdue at USC game. Brees vs Carson (2nd half), didn't think much of it at the time.
This is the best thing
Watching brees go up. Fire 🔥
This is oddly relaxing.
Matt Ryan underrated
I can’t decide if Vinnie Testaverde was good or not. He’s a leader in all categories, both good and bad. So...good enough to stay around for a long, long time. But I’ve never seen anyone else be on so many all-time lists who won’t ever be in the HOF.
Time for an update.
this needs to be updated
Brees: "I have 1,100yds more than Brady"
Brady: "and I take that personally"
Joke is old man like the “hold my beer” old jokes
Fran Tarkenton Dude! To still be on the list is amazing!
Warren moon aswell
Tom almost has the record in yards when hes taking his foot off the gas in the 4th quarter 80% of the time. That's an accomplishment.
How awesome has it been to watch Brady, Brees and P. Manning!? The accuracy and ability to read the defense was phenomenal!
You just knew unitas was coming 😁🏈
Dan Marino just came flying up the charts there didn’t he???
All things considered, Tarkenton being 13th in '20 is prob the most impressive part of this. The fact Eli is 8th, speaks to the era.
Wish I could see what Jim Kelly and Dan Marino would look like in today's game.
Impressive.
Arnie herber was probably the only guy who could actually throw the football in the early days
Fran Tarkenton was in first for almost 20 years, then stayed in the top 10 for 40 years after retiring. Shows how long it took for other teams to have their own “Fran Tarkenton” and many teams still haven’t had a franchise QB that was on or above his level while the Packers had 2 and the Colts had 3 if you count Unitas and Luck. And technically the Broncos had 2, in terms of starters, but not in terms of franchise yards.
Best video yet!!!
The pocket passer is a dying breed, tom will break the record this year, and you wonder if it ever will be broken again.
