Most passing yards in NFL history: Favre 71,838. Manning 64,964. Marino 61,361. Elway 51,475. Brees 51,081. Warren Moon 49,325. Brady 49,149.


If he maintains his current pace, Brees could easily catch Favre in 4 years. I don't expect him to keep this pace as he ages, so I don't know if he'll do it in 4, but I do think he can easily eclipse that.

Odds are good that in two years he'll be chasing Manning, not Favre.

Manning could have the TD record by week 7, though Denver basically plays the entire NFC West in the first 8 weeks. So that could slow him down.

That's 5,000 yards/year. He can do it, but nothing "easy" about it. He'll most likely need a fifth year.

This is just stupid. So you think he can average over 5k yards per season for the next 4 seasons "easily." Normal regression says no chance that happens. He could possibly pass Favre, but he will without a doubt need to play 4 full seasons and a chunk of a 5th to get there. Regardless of what he says about playing into his 40s that is not the norm. And definintely won't be "easy."
