It took Matthew Stafford a long time to reach a\u00a0Super Bowl, much longer than it took Patrick Mahomes, but both quarterbacks belong as key stepping stones in the annals of NFL passing history. One such record is the number of passing yards that a quarterback has through \u201cX\u201d career games and Stafford\u2019s name is prominently featured on that list.<\/p>\n
But Mahomes is erasing his name every week.<\/p>\n
Mahomes is going to career game #107, while Stafford is going into #212. That\u2019s almost twice as long. But it won\u2019t take Mahomes 10 years to erase Stafford\u2019s name from this particular list at this pace: Stafford has the most career passing yards for a QB through games 107-185. As you can see from this list by @ScottKacsmar, Mahomes is tracking to replace Stafford\u2019s entire place on the list over the next 79 games.<\/p>\n
