Below is a list of the all-time passing leaders for all 32 NFL franchises. The NFL teams are listed in alphabetical order, along with each team's leading passer for the most QB yards thrown over the course of their careers.
Some NFL franchises have been blessed with a great history of quarterbacks. Just ask the San Francisco 49ers and Green Bay Packers. Those organizations had runs of Joe Montana to Steve Young and Brett Favre to Aaron Rodgers.
Others have gone most of their franchise's history without ever landing an elite talent at the position -- like the Chicago Bears and Cleveland Browns. However, every team has an all-time leading passer, which is the topic of this article.
