Rich Gannon career statistics
In 1991, Rich Gannon was the 11th ranked QB in the league and he racked up 8 VBD points for that. He didn't finish above the baseline again until he was 34 years old, in 1999. Since then, he's collected 298 VBD points. With a decent year this year, he'll move into second place on the "most VBD points after age 33" list. It's questionable whether he'll be able to catch Moon, though.
