Brees now the leading passer in the NFL

Brady went for 234 tonight, so Brees stays first with 3326 yards through ten games.
Marino's per game average in 1984 was 317.5. Drew is at 332.6, Brady at 326.6, and Rodgers is now a shade behind at 316.8. It's hard to believe that at least one of these guys won't break the record this year.

Hard to think Rodgers will, one off game and he won't have much of a shot, not to mention, he's probably gonna be packing it in early later in the year

Brees will most likely get it. He has 5 of the last 6 games in domes. Four home games and one in the Metrodome. The only outside game is at Tennessee.

I've done loads of number crunching to compare the 2011 seasons from Brady, Brees, and Rodgers to that of 2008 Brees and 1984 Marino. Here are some of the important numbers to compare.
2008 Brees
Through 10 Games
Passing Yards: 3,251
Y/G: 325.1
1984 Marino
Through 10 Games
Passing Yards: 3,094
Y/G: 309.4
Often forgotten is how many yards Marino amassed in the final three games of the season. Going into Week 15, he was only projected to reach 4,763 yards and he was sitting at 3,870 passing yards. What he did after that was pass for 470 yards, 404 yards, and 340 yards to amass 1,214 passing yards in three games. That's what put him over the top.
Brees and Brady may be ahead of his pace now, but Brady will fall off due to more outdoor games in the cold. Brees is actually currently ahead of his 2008 pace, which will help him immensely since he'll play mostly indoor games.

Rodgers will get 50 TDs I think this year. I don't see him throwing less than 3 TDs in every remaining game this year.

Does Rodgers pack it in, if the Packers are undefeated?

He wouldnt be able to pull his dick out of the medias mouth long enough.

It will depend if the last game of the season matters or not. Drew and Sean don't care about stats. Wouldn't be surprised if he pulled himself out/gets pulled out by the second quarter in that finale if we play for nothing.
