Riley never led the league in anything.  When Anderson retired he was the only QB to ever lead the league in passing 4 times.  Today Steve Young is still the only QB to have done it more times (5).

Riley finished in the top 10 in interceptions just 4 times.  Anderson finished in the top 10 in passing 9 times.

Riley never held any NFL records.  Anderson's record for highest completion percentage in a season stood for TWENTY-SEVEN YEARS.

When Anderson retired his postseason passer rating (93.5) ranked 2nd in history (min 100 att) only behind Bart Starr and over 10 points higher than 3rd place Terry Bradshaw (83.0).

When Anderson retired he was 7th in career passing yards and 8th in career regular season wins.

Yeah, that’s pretty impressive. Both should be in.
