Looking up the stats of the guys I guessed.
I'm surprised Brees didn't do it and he wasn't that close. Cousins had 99 with Wash!!!

But Tarkenton had 103 TDs with the Giants

1967 - 29
1968 - 21
1969 - 23
1970 - 19
1971 - 11

Total 103

Palmer among 4 QBs with 100 TDs on 2 teams

Carson Palmer threw his 100th touchdown with the Cardinals on Monday night, becoming one of four QBs to pass the milestone with two different teams.

So looks like more. Add Goff and Brady to the bolded and it's 6 already



GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Carson Palmer made his history look pretty Monday night.

The quarterback threw his 100th touchdown with the Arizona Cardinals on a perfectly thrown 15-yard pass to receiver Larry Fitzgerald in the third quarter against the Dallas Cowboys, making him one of four players to throw at least 100 touchdowns with two different teams.

The other three were Kurt Warner (Rams and Cardinals), Fran Tarkenton (Giants and Vikings) and Peyton Manning (Colts and Broncos).

just because they talk violence. Dont mean they got the heart or nuts to be violent!

Some of the scariest people I know dont talk about violence at all (or rarely). They just do it.

What the hell does this have to do with the NFL? Can’t we keep the political stuff on the politics forum?

Good looking out, I seen mutiple articles about Goff being the 4th

Yep, i don't think i did but I did. My fault

Trivia:

Stafford needs only 5 Td passes to be the 5th quarterback in NFL history to throw for 100+ TDs for two different teams.

Who are the 4 quarterbacks that already have?

Guessing Brady, Peyton, Rivers, Cousins?

Edit: wth did I put Rivers there?

heck...I was thinking George Blanda, but all he did at Oakland was kick FG's and win a couple of games when Lamonica got dinged.

 

[dtgold88]

It was Warner, Manning, Brady and Goff

3 of 4...I'll take it. But should have gotten Warner.

At least he didn't throw her onto a futon full of machine guns this time...

Guess can eliminate Bears and Jets off the rip since in real divisions (and not that good of course). I'll say Atlanta as IMO better than other 2 from their division here and just need to beat out TB.

Falcons and Bears. If the Bears aren't in contention this year they're in trouble long-term.

Panthers will be much improved but I don't think they get there.

 

[Xeliou66]

Definitely my Falcons, and I’m not just saying that cause they are my favorite team - they should absolutely have a winning season this year - strong O and an improved D, and I think they are the favorites to win the NFC South.

Bears could be in the playoff race but they are in a very tough division. Panthers should be better, but I doubt they can get to the playoffs, it’s possible though if their D improves a lot. Colts have a solid roster other than QB, if they had an okay QB I would say they would have a good shot, but I don’t see Richardson or Jones leading them to the playoffs. Jets and especially Saints no way IMO.

I'll mildly disagree....to a point. I know a lot of my fellow Bears fans are pumped for a postseason appearance this year, but a reality check is in need here. They still play in the league's toughest division, meaning 6 games right there. It's been mentioned a lot that they have the 2nd toughest strength of schedule this year, based of course on last year's records, something that is a bit debatable in terms of difficulty. But nonetheless, it's far from a cakewalk schedule by anyone's standards.

The point of all my babbling is the Bears can miss the playoffs, hell not even reach .500, yet not have it be a dire situation, such as a call for cleaning house and all that. For instance, if they were to go 8-9, which is my early prediction so far, yet play a lot of their losses really close, this would be considered a respectable season on which to build. Remember, they were 5-12 last year. Winning 3 more games would at the very least be interpreted as a step in the right direction. Now OTOH, let them go something like 4-13 and then there'll likely be a bazillion calls for trashing the roster/management and starting from scratch.

I'm not sure they are the team I'd highlight the most. I think the one team that can't miss the playoffs this year is the Bengals. I think their locker room would implode.

I agree, but 8-9 probably means they were in contention. An eight-loss NFC team has made the playoffs four out of the five years since the league expanded to seven playoff teams. It's a very forgiving format for late-season relevance.

Imo, the expectations of the NFC N teams from highest to lowest should be:

1) Lions
2) Packers
3) Bears
4) Vikings

I think if you perceive this to be the toughest division in the NFL or close to it then that means at least 8 wins. The expectations with the Vikings seem to be based mostly around KOC being a QB wizard. If JJ McCarthy hits as a QB then it is what it is for the Bears and likely the other NFC N teams, too, as the Vikings immediately become a contender. Caleb Williams should be expected to outplay whichever QB the Vikings go with, though.

edit - forgot the Vikings coaches name

The Vikings have a better D than the Bears though - a much stronger front 7 especially. And the Vikings have a talented O, Jefferson is the best receiver in the NFL IMO, Addison and Hockenson are good targets as well, Jones is a good RB, really the Vikings only major question mark is how JJ will do at QB - obviously QB is the most important position and JJ is an unknown, but all of the pieces are in place for him to have success.
The NFC North is a loaded division, and I think the Bears have the weakest roster of the 4 teams, that doesn’t mean they are a weak team, I think they’ll be decent, but it will be an uphill battle for them to get to the playoffs.
