For his CAREER! Eighteen years - 265 games total. He now ranks 71st all time.
71st! Add that to all his other supreme accomplishments!
He is in position to surpass his former backup Matt Cassel (1011 yards in 13 years / 107 games) and current Lions QB Matthew Stafford (1013+ yards in nine years - ½ the time / 136 games) by the end of the season.
Now, he's only got to catch up to Josh McCown, Matt Ryan, Andy Dalton, Ryan Tannehill, Marcus Mariota, Ben Roethlisberger, Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III, Blake Bortles, Tyrod Taylor, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Alex Smith, Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, and Cam Newton to be the active leader.
Only 3737 yards to go! (Or 5109 to catch Michael Vick for the all-time mark).
Awesome post!
ReplyDeleteI like how when he later took a knee he let the refs know he didn't take a step back as to not lose a yard.
ReplyDeleteThat custom is sweet! If this was a real card, I'd nominate it for P-town Tom's Card of the Year contest.
