== Position on passing statistics leaderboards == 

 The article states that "Manning is currently on pace to break the career records in every major statistical category for a quarterback, including most career passing touchdowns, most career completions, and most career passing yards.[222]". 

 Favre (the leader many categories) is still playing at a fairly high level (as shown by his stats available from nfl.com). Even if Favre stopped playing after this year (and we all know how that goes by now), Manning would have to play at the top of his game for at least five to seven years more to break Favre's current career records. Maybe he will, and maybe he won't...but I'm not sure that I'm willing to take the Indy Star's (the cited source), word for it, which is now almost three years old and maybe not as relevant (or accurate) today as it might have been then.
