Currently 36 years old

1 Tom Brady 89,214
2 Drew Brees 80,358
3 Peyton Manning 71,940
4 Brett Favre 71,838
5 Ben Roethlisberger 64,088
6 Philip Rivers 63,440
7 Matt Ryan 62,792
8 Dan Marino 61,361
9 AARON RODGERS 59,679
10 Eli Manning 57,023
11 MATTHEW STAFFORD 56,801

I think he could potentially pass Peyton

Didnt he send pretty strong "retirement soon" signals after the Super Bowl win?

I could be wrong but he never seemed like the "I'm playing til I'm 40" type.

I was rooting so hard for Burrow to win that game, but in hindsight I am glad Stafford got a ring.

Probably around 7th. He turns 37 in FEB and probably has what, 1-3 years at the most left with no more injuries?

I'd say he has a legit chance to pass Big Ben. All of the others are probably too far away with his age and time left in the league.

I think he gets one more old man injury like an Achilles and hangs it up

Passing Peyton would require 5k yards for 3 years
That's not happening for him - he could retire any year now and one big (even medium) injury ends his career

Big gap between Ben and Favre so that's his ceiling
I'm going to guess he ends up at 7

I'd say anywhere between 3-5, barring season/career ending injuries.

Figure low end 3 seasons at 4k passing per, that would put him at 5. 4 seasons at 4k per would put him at 3.

Passing Peyton is a tall tall task. At the most maybe he passes Big Ben.

Assuming he’s plays this entire season, then he will be at approximately 60,000 yards and 37 years old entering 2025.

It’s impossible to predict the variables moving forward with someone his age. Desire and overall health are big factors that could cause him to walk away at the conclusion of every season he plays going forward, even if he avoids a serious injury and continues to be productive.

Honestly I had no idea Eli threw for that many yards.

Over 15 years as a full time starter with no major injuries in the modern era NFL equals a lot of passing yards.

Well for starters he broke his back twice and almost retired then. Hes close and any injury like that again would be the end.

10th

Given he won a superbowl and Kupp and Nacua are injured now I doubt he will have desire to play next year
