What's wrong with you? You can't have a conversation without taking it personal?
Since you were so gracious to show me a way to find the actual number, I originally said inside the 5, right? So here it is.
| Player | Career TDs | TDs inside 5 YL | % of TDs inside 5 YL | TDi5YL/year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brady | 392 | 120 | 30.6% | 9.23 |
| Brees | 396 | 102 | 25.8% | 7.85 |
| Flacco | 148 | 24 | 16.2% | 3.43 |
| Eli | 259 | 74 | 28.6% | 6.73 |
| Peyton | 530 | 151 | 28.5% | 9.44 |
| Rivers | 252 | 58 | 23.0% | 6.44 |
| Rodgers | 226 | 66 | 29.3% | 9.43 |
| Romo | 242 | 59 | 24.4% | 6.56 |
| Ryan | 181 | 61 | 33.7% | 8.71 |
29.2% of Rodgers' TD passes came from inside the opponent's 5 yard line. Padding stats is adding 9.23 extra TDs a year from inside the opponent's 5 yard line. His stat padding is miles above any of the other big 4 through their first 103 starts.
| Player | Starts | Total TDs | TD inside 5 YL | % of TDs inside 5 YL | TDi5YL/Year |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rodgers | 103 | 226 | 66 | 29.3% | 9.23 |
| Brady | 103 | 180 | 56 | 31.2% | 8.00 |
| Brees | 103 | 160 | 38 | 23.8% | 5.43 |
| Peyton | 103 | 237 | 54 | 22.8% | 6.75 |
