40 Year Old Quarterbacks… How Have They Done Historically? 

Big Ben lead his team to the playoffs every year he played too

@@benjaminmiller788”lead”

@@benjaminmiller788he got carried in his last year and played like dogshit in the playoffs

Legendary woman respecter, too 🙌🏻

Dude got hit so much due to his playstyle that im surprised he lasted as long as he did.

His longevity is up there with LeBron and Tom Brady

I don’t see any way that his career yards record will ever be broken

@@connorreed314 absolutely no way. if a receiver were to have 15 seasons with 1500 rec yds he'd still be a few hundred yds short of Rice.

Idk darrell green recorded his last interception at 41. Being a starting cb at 42 is wild.

That didnt happen.

Its insane how bad the Chiefs were in the super bowl

@@simon_carrick81982018 Super Bowl not 55

​@@simon_carrick8198***eagles super bowl, not the chiefs one.

Brady's stats after 40 alone would put him atop the Bears's franchise QB records. You can let that one sink in. lol.

well he is a cheater

Lol.

I'll bet on that

With the saints ending his career in the nfc championship via bounty gate

@@dougefresh8029 And then 15 years from now, a new volleyball court will open at Cal that was funded by misused welfare funds

@@dougefresh8029 they should put an asterisk.

How about Kenny Stabler throwing a 40-50 yard pass referee style (underhanded). This was when he played for the Saints before he retired.

That is crazy!!

Well he was 39 & 1/2.

That was sweet. I haven’t seen that highlight since I was a kid, watching an NFL Films video.

Yes, bc only Patrick Mahomes can do that. Everyone knows Mahomes is the first QB ever to do anything ever. Just ask Cris Collinsworth or Tony Romo.

Yup, he always gets overlooked.

I was thinking this the whole time. Won a regular season game. Played in the AFC championship.

Did he actually start?

He started a game in 1969 at 41. Sunday Nov 10, 1968 Against the Broncos. Raiders won 43-7. Blanda had 4 TD passes, 5 extra points and two field goals.

@@ScottTaylor-ru3hihe also started a good bit of the 1970 season at qb after Daryl lamonica was injured

Trust me. People are going to make all the excuses in the world, because he was just that good. Also, was George Blanda too much of a kicker to be on the list, or did I just didn't see him.

​@@matthewhenningervonada9914pretty sure blanda converted to kicker full time by his late thirties

Nolan Ryan-esque exception

tbh, I still think Brady was juicing. Remember Lance Armstrong? Brady retired but he looks like he could still play.

@@GizmoMaltese I can't tell; I heard Manning was on HGH, but unless some news comes out then I have to assume he wasn't.

Earl Morral had a good, long career. Probably the definitive backup quarterback, and definitely worth a video.

Nick Foles was Super Bowl MVP as a backup. He’s EASILY the greatest backup QB ever.

​@@Andrew-bd8dche had one insane run but that's basically it

@@Andrew-bd8dc def the best single season backup QB ever but it was only a single season that he was able to do that

​@@Andrew-bd8dcJeff hostetler won a super Bowl as a backup with giants so Foles wasn't the first to do it

I think he was actually better towards the end of his career than he was when he was in his 20s.

👍

Jurgenson was known as "the best pure passer" when he played.

No he didn't

​@@poopsock7493darrell Greene most certainly did. And is one of the best to ever play the game.

Not to diminish Darrell Green but I’d hardly call that more impressive than a QB who will take more punishment in a typical game playing at 40+ lol

@@disgracecentral nah CB is definitely most an athletic and durability feat imo. CB dishing out 50+ tackles a season on top of their job of coverage. A QB gets PISSED if they're hit 40-50 times a season.

@@morsumbra9692 For one, CB aren’t even close to other positions in terms of tackling if we wanna talk about physical demand. 2, tackling is NOT the same as getting tackled. If you have played football you know but even if you haven’t injuries will tell you that is definitely the case. 3, not only goes a QB get sacked on average during a full season about 30-40 times a year. They get HIT (separate stat) around 50+ times a year on top of that. Not to mention tackles they receive when they run which is more and more common, and stuff not accounted for like general contact they receive on most plays. They also throw the ball, which if you ask me, players like Brady and Brees who were still throwing well consistently every week multiple plays in a row at age 40 plus is very impressive. Especially Brady who could still drive the ball downfield with strength. I as a healthy young adult, do not have the endurance or arm strength to throw a foot ball 10+ yards 20-30+ times in a game bro. I’m not shitting on Corners because they have a specific and important job and those who do it really well deserve praise but I can’t look at Players who accomplished things like Brees or Brady did and honestly say it isn’t the most impressive feats for old players. Especially when we consider the fact that across all positions even for kickers it’s exceptionally rare to start or do well at all at 40+ lol

He did it in the cfl when the cfl was still somewhat good

I think Chicago Bears history could have been different had they held on to Flutie. Rewind to the 1987 NFL Draft. The Bears pass on Jim Harbaugh and draft the powerful running back Christian Okoye instead. Jim McMahon remains the starter at quarterback those two seasons, but with Okoye carrying the ball, the Bears steamroll their way to the Super Bowl in '87 and '88.

That was Favres best year.. he barely threw INTs. Yeah they’re always gonna roll the INT he threw against the Saints. But the Vikings fumbled that game several times… I don’t think Brett was the reason they lost that game, he was the reason they were there.. Peterson doesn’t fumble twice it’s a way different story. On top of that the saints put a bounty on his head, and idc what you say the league was in on it. There were hits on Favre that deserved ejections and suspensions into the next season, they were trying to kill him… the league would never allow Brady to be hit like that

Brady threw for 505 yards in Super Bowl 52. February 2018, he was 40+ at the time.

Favre lost his best receiver(s) that year too even before the season started plus other injuries too. I always felt like he didn't have a chance that year as a result.

@@cubswincubswinaoBrett farve was terrible against the saints and threw one of the dumbest ints I’ve ever seen. He cost his team the game

@@BillyBob-ti2fz I'm not a Favre fan, but Aaron's take was spot on. Favre wasn't the reason they lost that game. It just appeals to fans who can't analyze the game on a more complex level, to look at one play at the end of the game and say that cost them the game.

Aye there be monsters here.

We are going to look back at the 2020’s and say the AFC was way better than the NFC. Much like the NFC was much better in the 80’s and early to mid 90’s, and the AFC was in the 2000’s.

I got Chiefs, Chargers Bengals top 3 in AFC

@@fortynights1513we all know that now

that beautiful rainbow pass to Mike Williams tho. With a cast on. That guy was a gamer.

I just remember him for his classic "We want the ball, and we're going to score" line and then throwing an INT shortly after.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Technically not NFL. That’s probably why he wasn’t included.

@@RBSmada The NFL recognizes AFL stats as their own, so he should have been included.

@@MarkZickefoose I didn’t make the video.

@@RBSmada No one thought you did.

🔮 ✅ 😵

Crazy that Brady in his age 43, 44, and 45 seasons lead the league in air yards every year. Even in his "worst" year in 2022 he still had 25 tds to 9ints and threw the ball more than anyone in the league. We'll never see it again.

@@mattbedrosian5298 He threw the ball a lot cuz he had to, their oline couldnt run block

@@ChillConservative2k15 Yea there run blocking was terrible. I'm just referring to how crazy it is that a 45 year old was somehow was playing qb in the nfl at 45 nonetheless leading the league in attempts and competitions.

I appreciate that!

✅

Let’s go Browns and Broncos!

​@dougefresh8029 watch your mouth man!

@@poopsock7493 you got it poop sock

​@@dougefresh8029thanks

Blanda and Earl Morrall.

It also depends on how their defense performs because last year it was actually very good.

11*

If their defense is as good statistically, they'll win 10 games. Hell, maybe 12.

Depends on the defense and how effective breece is coming back

But, as Rodgers has gotten older he's become very adverse to throwing risky passes.

Unitas won a Super Bowl out of prime at age 37, and made one more AFC Championship Game as the primary starting quarterback in 1971 at age 38. Colts had a very good defense and run game at the time, and the 71 Colts allowed the fewest first downs of any team in the 70’s, and fewer than anyone since.

😱

Wherever your shoulder is pointing that is where the ball is going kids.

Strock played his last game in 1988 at 38. Blanda started one game at quarterback in the AFL at 41 in 1968.

He already have a video

No he didn't

@@poopsock7493On November 11th, 1968, Blanda is listed as a starter on pro football reference in a game where he threw 26 passes (in other games with just kicks he isn’t listed as starting). He was 41 at the time. That’s why I thought he started. Correct me if I’m wrong.

AFL

​@fortynights1513 you are wrong

While I agree with a lot, the modern game has at least (if not more) injuries then in the early days. And while the rules have changed, the physicallity hasnt. Edge rushers are faster, heavier and stronger then in thos early days. And its not even close. A modern day OLB or DE is a former DT or OL men in the 60's and 70's... So if a 6'5 265 lbs guy who runs the 40 yeard dash in 4.5 seconds crushes down on you, it still hurts. There is a reason why Brady outlasted each and every player drafted like 5 years after him, while still being a top 10 QB in the league. Brady had the luck (or perfect body and stretching routine, dont know) to never have any serious upper body injuries. Not one... No neck injuries, no back injuries, no shoulder injuries, no elbow injuries... nothing. His legs dont really matter, cause he was never a mobile Quaterback. And all that while playing Football for over 30 years! Thats more or less a miracle while getting sacked 565 times in the NFL alone (all time record), not to mention 1000's of QB hits and all the sacks/hits he took before entering the NBA! If I look at Rodgers injury history on the other hand... I dont see him playing a lot more productive years in the league. 1, maybe 2 if he can stay healthy at best. So to bring it all full circle. Yes modern training methods, medical treatments became way better over the decades and the rule changes helped as well. But on the other hand the pressure put on the human bodies is even higher in my opinion. And thats true for basically every sport. How many guys played 82 games in the 70's and 80's in the NBA, how man do that today? Lebron (like brady) holds basically every scoring record in the League, but only played 82 games ONCE in his career... Kareem 8as an example) on the other hand 5 years...

🔮

33 TD and 7 INT.

I hope Aaron Rodgers has a career ending injury

He had better rosters in Green Bay and couldn’t even get past the first round except once

Look Aaron Rodgers is great but aside from the defense being quite a bit better, he’s going to offense with few playmakers and a worse line. I will accept that the Jets playmakers haven’t had a QB to truly bring them up so we will have to see but aside from that he’s in a division with a Super Bowl favorite in the Bills, and up and coming, electric offense with the Dolphins AND you can’t discount the Patriots who will play tough and hold their own. That’s just their division. The AFC will be a blood bath once again and you can’t get by on just being good, if you aren’t elite you might not even limp into a wildcard game lol

He won’t be , being seem to forget how shitty of a division be played in his whole career , was like playing a high school team 6 times a season.

@@seanlevy6027 Yeah I'm weirded out too by the seemingly widening assumption that the Jets have a more talented team then those GB squads he couldn't do it with, that capitalized on a division that wildly varied in quality year-year. I don't see him being the equivalent that Farve was in Minnesota that first year. He might not have to be, but I feel like the Jets wouldn't have gotten him if he couldn't be.

It is not Detroit it is the Super Bowl lol massive burn

He had some solid years afterward, but in my opinion 2017 is arguably the last season of his prime when I look at his whole career.

@@fortynights15132021 was close. He was one bad game vs the Saints from winning MVP.

@@fortynights1513 Brady led the entire NFL in 2021 in passing TD's, and passing yards, and arguably should've won the MVP.

@@stefanoliveira8718 I’m still convinced he would’ve of not for that game against the Saints late in the season which ranked his chances, given all the injuries the Bucs suffered late in the season.

@@stefanoliveira8718Now that I think about it, yeah 2021 was very good. I don’t recall being as impressed with his Tampa years in general, but yeah, that was a very good season. Especially considering his age at the time.

Man doing the Brett Farve speedrun.

Meanwhile, Jordan Love wins a Super Bowl and never goes back. Fuck, I'd be down for another go at that.
