Not to mention 5th all time in career passing yardage in NFL history.

If Big Ben plays 1 more year he will most likely pass Rivers on the list, Ryan is 2 years away from passing him, Rodgers is probably 3 years away from passing him, Stafford is 4-5 years away. Rivers most impressive stat is that he played for so long. Its a lot to assume all will stay healthy enough to pass him.

Listen, you are asking me to fix the fact that you are an idiot. That is just simply outside my abilities to remedy.

How am I an idiot for pointing out the facts? Big Ben is 3,000 away, Ryan is 8,000, Rodgers is 12,000 yards behind and Stafford is 18,000 yards.

Ben is 3k behind and played an extra 2 seasons......

Rivers is one of the better passers of all time, never missed a single start in his career, is in the top 5 in passing yards at time of retirement, and did so while playing for one of the worst franchises in the NFL.

Dude should be a HOFer.

Really only 1 more year. Rivers didnt start his 1st 2 years but you can't count Big Ben's 2019 season when he played 2 games as a season. 

Rivers would be the only HOF to have never won a Super Bowl or been Named an All Pro (1st or 2nd Team). Since he became a starter there have been 14 different QBs who have been named either 1st or 2nd Team All Pro and none of those were Rivers.

Ben came from the same draft and didn't spend two seasons behind Drew Brees... his average year is lower.

Agreed. Big Ben also lost almost an entire year to injury too. I didn't say Big Ben was better or had better per season stats just that if he plays 1 more year he will likely pass Rivers on the all time passing list.

Rivers mark would be his consistency IMO.  I don't think he's a HOFer but he's close and may get in after 20 years or so.

      CBS does not think Bryce makes the leap

      By frankw · Posted

      It would be nice to see #9 prove people like this laughably wrong. That's why many Panthers fans myself included were wanting to see how much time he'd dedicated to his craft following the conclusion of the season but then he showed up and let everyone know he pretty much crawled under a rock. Somehow the Panthers social team though this was rather amusing after what we'd sacrificed for the rights to draft him It's interesting that we go from Levis being least desirable of the class and a complete and total meathead that would alienate himself from his teammates to being talked up as possibly emerging as one of the better young QB's entering the 2024 season. Man what a whirlwind the last 12 months have been for the people who fully bought the hype machine in the lead up to the 2023 NFL draft and did victory laps like they had their very own sports almanac from BTTF. Life comes at you fast folks.

      Does anyone actually think Bryce will actually be good?

      You either need to do waaay more drugs or waaay less drugs, your current intake is not right. Sorry I can not advise on which path to take.

      The franchise guy Carolina Panthers Deep Dive

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      He's routinely a great watch.  Good content.  I like his optimism on Chubba in our scheme, allows us to bring in Brooks at an optimal pace relative to his recovery (who we got obviously to be our new guy, could become the focal point of this offense) The two news OGs will have no issue playing our offense coming from familiar schemes, one in Hunt being league top, is going to be huge for our running game more than anything.  I also liked him maintaining some optimism with Icky.   Seeing his page and commentary on our defense really puts in perspective how much turnover we have.  It should feel like a much different team (hopefully better) especially that front-7.  Jewell is going to be better than people expect, he was super unheralded for Denver and is just a smart closer who played against the Chiefs routinely well.
