Tom Brady is 39. He won the Super Bowl last year. He doesn’t seem to be slowing down. He is fourth all-time in the NFL in passing yards, but is more than 10,000 yards behind Peyton Manning. Drew Brees is third all-time, is one younger than Brady, and is 4,500 yards ahead of Brady.

Will Brady chase the NFL all-time passing record or will father time beat him? For fun we made a table of the top QBs, the age when they retired, their last season stats, and how they retired.

What does this table tell us? Well as players get older their stats do get worse. Some QBs go out on top, some not. In the end, it looks like most hang on too long. Will Brady or will he retire before that happens?
