Pretty remarkable if you think about that in the regular season (and playoffs, of course, where Brady would pad his lead over the pressure-challenged Forehead). We hear about the big touchdown records, where Manning leads with 539. But, if you are to take touchdowns minus interceptions, Brady is the all-time leader. Manning has thrown a full 100 more INTs than Brady, and although he has more attempts, the percentages show a very wide gap as well. It's pretty fascinating to see just how many interceptions it took to get to this high number of TDs from some notable quantitative leaders. In reality, if you looked at analytics, I'm guessing that an interception would be closer to 1.5/2x the cost of one touchdown in terms of correlation to wins. Also, pretty remarkable where Rodgers is on this list considering the length of his career, even though his entire career has been played in the QB era and his "training years" were spent on the bench.
Brady 444 TDs - 151 INTs = 293
Manning 539 TDs - 251 INTs = 288
Brees 454 TDs - 213 INTs = 241
Rodgers 282 TDs - 72 INTs = 210
Favre 508 TDs - 336 INTs = 172
Marino 420 TDs - 252 INTS = 168
Montana 273 TDs - 139 INTs = 134
