• He identified John Elway, Patrick Mahomes and Andrew Luck as quarterbacks he considers generational.
• The New Orleans Saints responded on X by posting screenshots of the all-time leaders in passing yards and touchdowns.
• Those leaderboards show Tom Brady first, Drew Brees second and Peyton Manning third in both categories, underscoring their career production.
• Dan Orlovsky pressed Clark to explain and Stephen A. Smith argued that production defines the term, as coverage centered on the definition dispute with no retraction from Clark reported.
