Aaron Rodgers becomes fastest QB to throw 300 TD passes

 

[GNG]

An incredible achievement.

but, but - Sam Bradford has a better QB rating

And let's be honest, if that 33-year-old Rodgers wasn't in the twilight of his career, unlike that upstart, 32-year-old Matt Ryan, he would have accomplished this last year and thrown 43 TD passes rather than the pitiful 40 he had to settle for.

 

[The Derski]

In 13 less games than Marino and Manning who are tied for second fastest. I think like 30-something less interceptions than Brady when he got to 300.

The interesting stat is to look how many interceptions each of the top QBs in history have had when they each reached their 300th TD. Rodgers will most likely hit 400 TDs before gets 100 interceptions.

Aaron Rodgers will be first QB with 300 TDs before 100 interceptions

Here’s a look at how many interceptions each of the other 10 quarterbacks with 300 touchdown passes had thrown at the time they got No. 300:

Peyton Manning is the NFL’s all-time leader with 539 career touchdown passes. He had 152 interceptions when he threw his 300th touchdown.

Brett Favre threw 508 career touchdown passes. He had 175 interceptions when he threw his 300th touchdown.

Drew Brees has 465 career touchdown passes. He had 154 interceptions when he threw his 300th touchdown.

Tom Brady has 456 career touchdown passes. He had 115 interceptions when he threw his 300th touchdown.

Dan Marino threw 420 career touchdown passes. He had 169 interceptions when he threw his 300th touchdown.

Fran Tarkenton threw 342 career touchdown passes. He had 219 interceptions when he threw his 300th touchdown.

Eli Manning has 320 career touchdown passes. He had 205 interceptions when he threw his 300th touchdown.

Philip Rivers has 314 career touchdown passes. He had 146 interceptions when he threw his 300th touchdown.

Ben Roethlisberger has 301 career touchdown passes. He had 160 interceptions when he threw his 300th touchdown.

John Elway retired with exactly 300 career touchdown passes and 226 career interceptions.

With just 115 interceptions at the time he threw touchdown No. 300, Brady had the fewest picks of anyone to reach the mark. Rodgers will throw No. 300 with about 40 fewer interceptions than Brady had.

 

[Dude]

Great. And ...?

It's unprecedented.

When you break a record in nearly a full season less than the next best it's somewhat noteworthy. Not to mention he has a good shot to get to 400 TDs before his 100th interception when no one had even done it at 300.

 

[The Derski]

Kind of like Steph Curry constantly breaking his own 3 point records.

Don't @ me.

Marvelous, chalk up another stat for the omnipotent QB. Overall, TEAMS needs good stats too, according to the experts in here, and everywhere else.

True, and Ted Thompson is too stubborn and frugal to go after decent free agents. The GB roster is certainly lacking.

Yep, I 'm sure most people say in here that some part of Rodgers is being "wasted" in GB, but I doubt it.

You guys have a great record over the past ten years, will agree that sloppy coaching and some bad players held you dudes back in some of the post season losses, where a D that digs the heels in will save you. There are many examples of this. That is why the have always said that defense wins SBs. It is pretty much true today, even in shootouts.

Or a new defensive coordinator.

Kinda funny to see Rodgers 300 TDs compared to Brady's last 300 TDs, where their careers overlap fully instead of looking at two different passing ears.

Rodgers: 300 TD/74 INT
Brady: 300 TD/72 INT

 

[NEhomer]

Lol!

This is all too funny.

...and I thought Manning fans were insecure.

Yeah but Toms are of the 3 yard variety

 

[GNG]

Rodgers basically carries the Packers on his back while Brady has more talent around him plus the best head coach in the NFL.

 

[Yo Tee]

@CowboyB he's overrated though right?

 

[redseat]

wait, I thought he sucked?

I'm confused
