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
NFL leaderboards
Completions, career: 45th
Touchdowns, career: 42nd
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.
Patriots Leaderboard
Passing Yards
Bledsoe 29,657 with Pats (44,611 total)
Grogan 26,886
Brady 23,995
Parilli 16,747 with Pats (22,681 total)
Passing TDs
Grogan 182
Brady 177
Bledsoe 166 with Pats (251 total)
Parilli 132 with Pats (178 total)
Pass Completions
Bledsoe 2,544 with Pats (3,839 total)
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.
