I especially love how foolish it looks in retrospect for me to write that Manning shows no signs of slowing down…right before he got hurt and never recovered as an elite player. This is why I don’t gamble.

Brady thinks he can play well, well into his forties. I think not so while he may pass Manning he is going to fall behind Brees before then. Other than that the comment about the NFL making more rule changes to turn it into Arena League is the only way I see the record being extended much if at all in the near future. Look at it this way. As of right now a QB would have to average 30 TD passes a season, something that has happen only 106 times in NFL history, for 17.5+ seasons. Granted 87 of those times are since 1983 and 20 are in the last two years, but a single season versus decades of being beat on with a far clearer idea of the damage that is accruing, making more money than ever to take away incentive playing longer and just realizing that the record is farther away at the start of a career than ever.
