Regarding Stafford's Season

[specialteams]

Has there ever been a 23 year old QB that's had a better NFL season than Stafford statistically?

Furthermore, has there ever been a QB whose had a better season within the first 3 years of his career than Stafford did this year?

The only one I can think of off the top of my head is Dan Marino.

Check out Marino's 48 TD, 5000 Yard season at 23.

Regardless, outside chance at 40 TD probably 4800 yards is a heck of a season. Never thought he'd have those numbers.

Marino's 2nd year.
Favre had similar numbers his 4th or 5th year
Rodgers if you count when he actually started.

Stafford had a good year. If he can keep it up, could go after favre's records.

Too bad rodhers sat on his ass.

Just kidding, 3rd year with 28 starts is different than being 26 when he reached those starts. And 36 TD with a game left is better than Rodgers had done until now. And Staff will probably have more yards in a season than Rodgers ever got too because he sits this week.

In fact, I think Staff is the better QB. Hey, what do you know.

Then we're both happy.
