Sure, it's going to be tough to pass Brady in any of these categories but I would bet that someday, somebody is going to break one or all of them. The problem with me betting on that, though, is that it's unlikely I would live long enough to collect.
Yeah, this is just BS. These other records are unreachable because the games have changed. Nobody but nobody is playing 48 minutes a night in the NBA, no pitcher is completing every game they start in, and so on. In order for records like Cy Young’s 511 wins to be broken the game of baseball will have to change. Brady on the other hand was the first guy to play 20 years in the modern offensive era. You can’t tell me that where we sit now, where Russell Wilson is 17th ALL TIME in passing yards, that someone isn’t going to come up and have at least a Brady type career.
