Also, if you're going to highlight the number of SB appearances, you need to factor the era into that conversation too. Do you think he'd have appeared in that many Super Bowls if he were facing Allen or Mahomes rather than Bernie Kosar?

First, the Allen/Mahomes thing is silly. I could just say "do you think Allen/Mahomes would survive the NFL of the 70s/80s"?
And, I'm not sugar coating or cherry picking stats. I'm addressing the one that was brought up - TDs.
The differences in the eras do matter when you're comparing careers.
