I posted earlier about how he joined Mahomes as the only rookies to ever have five 300 yard passing games in their first 7 starts...but it's even more of an elite club than that. Only 14 QB's in NFL history have ever thrown for 300 yards at least 5 times during ANY 7 games stretch (per Paul Dehner):
• Drew Brees (five times)
• Peyton Manning (three)
• Kurt Warner (two)
• Matt Ryan (two)
• Patrick Mahomes (two)
• Philip Rivers (two)
• Aaron Rodgers
• Andrew Luck
• Dan Fouts
• Drew Bledsoe
• Joe Montana
• Rich Gannon
• Steve Young
• Tom Brady
That's a pretty fantastic list. Surprised Stafford isn't on it, with all the big time yardage he's put up.

Btw, not hating on Burrow or anything, but he's also on pace for 16 fumbles. That's a minor complaint though, and I have to consider that he's getting pummeled on a weekly basis.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
