Forward passes were legal and being thrown by college and professional players before the NFL was formed. But the first known forward pass in a professional football game was probably by George W. (Peggy) Parratt on October 25, 1906. In a game in which Peggy played for the Massillon, Ohio, Tigers, he threw a short pass to Dan Riley Policowski against a team from West Virginia. The Tigers won 61-0 and the forward pass did not play a major role in the outcome.
As of the 2007 season, the NFL record for pass attempts in a game is held by Drew Bledsoe of the New England Patriots who threw 70 passes in a game against the Minnesota Vikings in 1994.
IN NFL About 27 Quarter backs have scored a touchdown on their first pass. Hope that helps.I sincerely doubt it is that many since only four have done it in the last 33 seasons.1) Matt Ryan of the Atlanta Falcons threw a 62 yard TD pass to Michael Jenkins on his first NFL pass on September 7, 2008.2) Michael Bishop of the New England Patriots threw a 44 yard TD pass to Tony Simmons on his first NFL pass on October 8, 2000.3) Chuck Long of the Detroit Lions threw a 34 yard TD pass to Leonard Thompson on his first NFL pass on November 23, 1986.4) Pat Haden of the Los Angeles Rams threw a 47 yard TD pass to Ron Jessie on his first NFL pass on September 12, 1976.
Joe Montana of the 1989 San Francisco 49ers threw a 77 yard touchdown pass.
I am not sure who the first one is, but Peyton Manning threw 31 in 2006-2007 and he threw 31 this year.
In the NFL, that was 62 yards to Michael Jenkins against the Lions on September 7, 2008. It was his first ever pass attempt as an NFL quarterback.

it was an INT
Aaron Rodgers because in his first two seasons as an NFL starter he threw for over 4,000 yards which is an NFL record. And he threw the least interceptions last year had 30 TD's and he's just an overall good player.
