It was more impressive that Unitas did it when he did. But I also agree that if it wasn't a big deal today it would have been broken years ago.
Look, I get that the game has changed to favor passing, especially now. But as much as the rules have changed, so have the players. Sure, you can't hardly touch a receiver now. But they also didn't have CB's as athletic as they do now. Sure you cant hit a QB, but Unitas also didn't have 350lb D-linemen that run a 4.6 chasing after him either.
This record is more a testament to consistency than anything else, regardless of the rules and how the game has changed. If it was so easy, there would've been more than two guys come within 10 games of it of over the last 60 years.
IMO by the time Drew is ready to hang his cleats up, he will be in the discussion as not only a sure first ballot HOF'er, but as one of the GOATs.

This was great for Drew and I'm proud he's a Saint. But, if he were to not throw a TD in the next game, the record could be broken this year by Brady. IMO, that alone proves that the record isn't really as impressive now as it was then.
It reminds me of the TE yardage record last year.
Graham broke the record.
Gronkowski broke the record.
Graham broke the record.
Gronkowski broke the record.
All within 4 hours.
It just isn't impressive when someone can break the record during the same season, IMO. Congrats to Drew though.

Back then you didn't have a guy who is 6 ft trying to throw over lineman who are 6.5 plus. Its amazing drew can even see his receivers.

I agree with everything you said except for calling Drew a farm animal.
