A all-time great career by KV-H: a peak-driven profile that scores 94 of 100, era-normalized against pass yds/g peers across 17 scored seasons.
Blend 79.6 × longevity 1 = KV-H 94· confidence 100%
Season-by-season quality (era-relative pass yds/g)
Ranked #225 of 600 by seasons where high individual production happened on low-win teams. Score aggregates only tracked StatVault categories.
Reached 83% of the all-time Passing Touchdowns leader — a strong all-time profile at the position.
A 0–100 scale where 100 = matched the all-time leaderat this position. Built only from visible encyclopedia data — career production vs. the all-time leader, plus efficiency (EPA) and comparable-player confidence — so it's a transparent context score, not a subjective rating. Tiers: Elite ≥ 85 · Strong ≥ 65 · Solid ≥ 45 · Depth < 45. Comparable-player confidence: 92%.
Production per snap — the box score normalized by opportunity. SIS is z-scored within quarterbacks, shrinkage-regularized so small samples don't spike, over the NFL snap-count era (2012+).
Amber = this player (normalized to own peak). Indigo = average QBs aging curve. Group peak age: 29. Source: StatVault KV-H era (1999+).

Peyton inherited the Denver Broncos QB room from Kyle Orton (2009–2010), and handed it to Russell Wilson (2022–2023).
The room is reconstructed from arrival order among durable members (≥4 seasons with the club) at the player’s position group — a lineage by arrival, not a week-by-week depth chart. Distinct from the league-wide positional GOAT torch.
