Rice same thing. He played forever so he has the stats.

He was pretty close...
Wins by QB (since 1940) as of 2015 - the top 5 were Favre (188), Manning (187), Brady (172), Elway (149), Morrall (149)
Passing yards in that time frame - top 5 were Manning (71.9k), Favre (71.8k), Marino (61.4k), Brees (60.9k), Brady (58.0k)
Passing Tds in that time frame - top 5 were Manning (538), Favre (508), Brees (428), Brady (428), Marino (420)
So, yeah, he padded the stats retiring in 2023, but in 2015 he was statistically top 3-5 in those 3 critical areas and he had 4 of his 7 SB rings as of 2015.
