I thought I would compile some mostly career statistical facts about Tom Brady. Not that he cares about numbers (or at least publicly admits it), but someday we will all be marveling at what he accomplished. In fact, already, after only 7.5 years in the league (6.5 as a starter), he is starting to enter the all-time leaderboards in several career passing categories.
But first, a statistical oddity:
Tom Brady's next touchdown pass will tie him with Babe Parilli in two categories:
Most touchdown passes by a Patriots quarterback, season: 31
Most touchdown passes, NFL career: 178
Barring the unspeakable "I" word, , he will be climbing rapidly in these and other categories. For example, if he throws another 20 TD passes this year he will not only break Manning's single season record, but will end the year at #28 on the all time list.
Similarly, he is now only 1,211 yards short of #50 on the all-time passing yards list - a figure he should reach in about 4 games at the rate he is going.

Passing Yards
Bledsoe 29,657 with Pats (44,611 total)
Grogan 26,886

Brady 2,094
Grogan 1,879
Parilli 1,140 with Pats (1,552 total)
Again barring the "I" word, Brady will be the Pats all time leader in passing TDs any week now, and should be the Pats all time leader in the other categories by the end of next year.

We all gotta be in awe of this guy, we may never see someone this good qb'ing this team ever... amazingly he just seems to be getting better, he will pass all of the pats records and finish at least in the top 5 all time qb's when he retires.

All these stats are great, but in the end what makes Brady so special, at least in my eyes, is how CLUTCH he is! He is the one guy I want on the field with a 1:21 left and no timeouts to put my team in a position to W-I-N!!!

No doubt. I am just maintaining this stats thread as a public service for those who are interested.

Update following 2007 week 14 (game 13), 12/9/2007 (Monday night. results: Steelers 13 @ Pats 34. Pats 13-0):
Notes
Brady extended his Patriots season TD pass record to 45.
Brady's 45 TD passes is the 3rd highest NFL season total, trailing Dan Marino (48) and Peyton Manning (49). He now needs only 5 more in 3 games to break the record.
Brady extended his Patriots career TD pass record to 192.
Brady passed the 4,000 yard mark for the second time in his career. The only other Patriot QB to pass for 4,000 yards in a season is Drew Bledsoe, who also did it twice.
Brady passed for over 300 yards for the sixth time this season and 21st time in his career.
Brady also has a chance to set the record for most passing yards in a season, needing 990 yards over the next three games to break Dan Marino's mark of 5,084 (1984).
Brady now has 4,095 passing yards on the season, which is the 3rd highest season passing total in Patriots history. He needs only 16 yards to break his own mark set in 2005 for 2nd place, and 461 yards to pass Drew Bledsoe's team record of 4,555 set in 1994.
Completions, career: 40th (+1 since last week)
Touchdown passes, career: T-34th (+1 since last week)
Passing Yards, career: Brady needs 223 yards to reach #50 in this category (passing current #49, Jim Plunkett. He is closer to John Kitna, but Kitna, who is still active, needs only 12 yards to pass Plunkett himself.)
Touchdown passes, season: 3rd - needs 3 to tie for 2nd and 4 to tie for 1st.

Thanks to Patsfanin Philly for pointing out the Patriots season passing yards records. I have added that info to the post.

Reason: fix typo - career Pass Attempts 3,540, not 3,550
