10 players have thrown for more than 40 touchdowns in a season.
Only 5 players have thrown for more than 5,000 yards in a season.

Guess who's part of that list? Yep, such luminaries as Peyton, Brees, Marino, Brady, Warner...

and Matthew Stafford.

Clearly not in the same category as Mike frickin Glennon. Stafford's a great QB.

The asterisk with Stafford is Calvin Johnson. I'm not going to say Stafford isn't a good QB and maybe shouldn't be in the same category as Glennon and Fitzpatrick but without Megatron Stafford does not have a 5,000 yard season. Even with Johnson, Stafford is still basically near the bottom of the top 10-15 QB in any stat besides total yards.
