Rivers is strong at 7.8, I found this after I finished, he has over 14000 yards and
should have been right behind Manning.
Numbers suggest, Manning, Warner, Big Ben are sure fire Hall of Famer's with the titles and Yards per attempt.
This also suggest that Romo may not be as appreciated as he should be.
For the Saints brethren Bree's is at 7.4 career, but at 7.9 with Saint Payton.
Montana 7.5, Marino 7.4, Elway 7.1, Bradshaw 7.2,Aikman 7.0, McNabb 6.9, Fran T 7.3
