Brady on pace to be NFL total yards leader...

[Patsfanin Philly]

Pundits talk about leaders in passing yards ( P Manning and Favre) but they only consider regular season. What if they added up passing yards in the regular season and playoffs, as well as rushing yards in regular season and the playoffs and yes of course, the receiving yards...?
If you total it up, Brady is #3 (Brees 34) but both are on pace to overtake the current leaders and assume the mantle of "total yards leader..." regular season and playoffs.....---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------P Manning -------Favre ----- Brady -------- Brees -------Marino
Passing yds reg season ------ 71940 ------- 71838 ------66159 --------70445 -------- 61361
Passing yds playoffs -------- 7339----------- 5855------ 10226 -------4209 ------------4510
rush yards reg season ---------667 ---------- 1844 ---------968 -------- 736 ----------- 301
rush yds playoffs -------------- 34 --------------72 ---------140 ---------- 42 ------------ 1
receiving yds total ----------- -2 --------------- -7 -------- 59 -------------- 73 ------------ -6
Total -------------------------79978 ------------79602 -- -77552 ----- 75505 ------- 66167

At current pace, Brady should overtake the leaders by midseason hopefully....

Why wouldn’t you count post season right?

I wish your matrix could be aligned

To be fair, if you live in Philly that probably looks perfectly lined up!

When the cleats are finally hung up, Brees will "win" this statistical race.. but Brady will have 6 rings or more.

You get what you pay for.... When I first posted it, it was aligned but I fixed it now...
It wouldn't let me insert an Excel spreadsheet so.....

I'm in the suburbs, closer to Jersey than Center City Philly....

Nice...I lived near Penn for a few years. I can still see the matrix fine if I squint a bit.

Actually 7, but in the Superbowl on the biggest stage with the brightest lights strange things happen.

you can't lament the flukey losses without acknowledging the flukey wins... the malcom butler play pretty much cancels the helmet catch. those strange things tend to equal out over time...
