Описание: Best Quarterbacks in NFL History by Passing Yards (1932 – 2025)

The history of the NFL’s greatest quarterbacks by passing yards reflects not only individual brilliance but also the evolution of the game itself. In the league’s early decades, passing was secondary to the running game, and quarterbacks were not yet the primary passers. That began to change in the 1940s, when the position fully embraced the aerial attack, shaping the modern NFL. Legends like Johnny Unitas, Joe Montana, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, Tom Brady, and more recently Patrick Mahomes, redefined what it meant to lead an offense, combining vision, accuracy, and leadership to revolutionize football. This ranking highlights not just raw passing totals, but also the longevity and consistency required to maintain elite performance across seasons and eras. Each quarterback on the list represents a milestone in the sport’s ongoing transformation, proving that greatness is measured by sustained excellence and the ability to adapt in a game that never stops evolving.
