Is Peyton Manning's TD Pass record the most prestigious record in sports?

They were debating this on the radio this morning, what is the most prestigious record in sports
The two guys agreed that its the all time TD pass record, and I disagree, I still think its the all time Home Run record, even though its tainted. The reason being is everyone, even non-baseball fans, know who the record holder for Home Run King is, its general knowledge such as the sky being blue or water being wet
Hell I couldn't have told you who had the TD pass record before last night and I consider myself to be sports savy

Home runs is a way bigger deal. Even season home runs is bigger.

It's hard to talk about 'most prestigious' when you're crossing sports. Sports like baseball, football, basketball, should have their own distinctive most prestigious record.

It's not even the most prestigious in football.
Since the NFL is now Glorified Arena Football, Favre/Manning/Brady/Brees are shattering all the records and a new one gets set every other year. It's very watered down.
I think Eric Dickerson's rushing record is The One (at least for football), followed by Emmitt Smith's.

I would be willing to bet that more people - today - could tell you that Peyton Manning is the all-time TD leader than could tell you Barry Bonds is the all-time HR leader. Bonds is an afterthought.
ETA: I'm not saying TDs are more prestigious, or not. I'm just saying your justification for HRs being more prestigious (i.e., that more people know about it) is not true.

I've never even thought about all time touchdown leader until last night and I've been watching football since 1977.
It isn't prestigious because it will be broken again within the next 20 years. It's far easier to throw for touchdowns now than 20 years ago.

The baseball records are more prestigious because stats are easier compared across generations in baseball. (thats why all the purists are pissed about steroids tainting the numbers.)
Football has never been that way. Its s totally different game played today than 50 years ago. (Last night they were talking about Sammy Baugh leading the league in TD passes, punting average, and interceptions
) Totally different game.

I don't like baseball but all of their records are a bigger deal

The GOAT is the only player in NFL history to have scored 200+ TDs. Due to durability and consistency, it's hard to imagine anyone threatening that any time soon.
Calvin Johnson can't seems to stay as healthy as Rice did, and Tomlinson faded pretty quickly once he got into his 30's.

I'll forever hold out that Tiger Woods' record of consecutive cuts made will hold that title for this generation.

no and it isn't even the greatest QB record
Brees 54 game TD streak >>> lifetime compilation stats
Although PM may also hold that one at the end of this season

Home runs because every player in a pool of tens of thousands has a chance to compete for it.
TD passes only a couple hundred have/will have a chance to go for it, because QB is such a lucrative position.

NBA points record is a bigger deal. The Godbe is going to break it this season.

Probably because baseball fans won't shut up about stats. It seems like most of the baseball fans I know care about stats more than wins and losses.

Way off. I'm a huge sports fan with one exception: baseball. I couldn't tell you anything about who holds and type of home run records. But I know water is wet.

Pete Rose's 4000 hits is better than the passing touchdown record.
