Anderson held the NFL record for most times leading the league in passing (4) for 15 years.

He held the single season completion percentage record for TWENTY-SEVEN YEARS.  Even today when passing numbers are at historical highs only 3 QBs in NFL history have had a single-season completion-percentage higher than Anderson's 70.6 from 1982.  In 1982 the league completion percentage was 56.4.  In 2021 it was 64.8.

Riley was good but he never even sniffed any NFL records, let alone set some that stood for decades.

I get what you're saying, but you might want to rethink Riley's career.

Quote:Riley is tied for fifth on the all-time interceptions list and everyone ahead of him is in the Hall. Charles Woodson tied him and is a first ballot Hall of Famer. Rod Woodson, who played from 1987-2003, is the only one who has passed him in the last four decades with 71.

Didn't he also set the record for most INTs with one team for pure cornerbacks? Hell, even Mel Blount said he should've been enshrined years ago. I think Anderson will make it soon as well.
