Oh, there is no question that the change nature of NFL rules has increased the longevity of NFL quarterbacks -- they take less of a beating than they used to. It has also led to inflation of quarterback statistics, partly due to the longer seasons (16 games vs 14), partly due to the longer careers (see above), and partly due to the rules favoring offensive football, especially passing attacks.
None of that has a thing to do with the current discussion, however. Nobody is arguing Brady is the GOAT because he has more yardage than someone else or whatever.
