Take Your Pick

Twenty touchdown passes, his first rushing touchdown since 2008, 1,884 yards passing on 198 attempts and one pick.  One lousy, under thrown, maybe a little late, pick.

That is Peyton Manning's stat line for the start of the season.  An unprecedented start to a season.  Just absolutely ridiculous of a start.  So good he could do it in his sleep start.  So good its boring him start.

But even after all of that Manning still did not break the attempts without a pick NFL record held by Tom Brady (358).  Still, even after all of that, Manning does not have the franchise record for attempts without a pick.  That belongs to Jake Plummer at 229 attempts.

Manning seems like the type of guy who does not care all that much for an individual record like that but instead cares about the teams success.  However, I am sure that pick will eat him up for a while.

What impresses me the most is that Manning seems to be that much better than everyone else in the league. Texans quarterback Matt Schaub, who has been a Pro-Bowler, has now thrown a pick-six in four straight games!  That is astonishing, and makes what Manning is doing that much better.

So, some advise to Manning, take your pick, just be happy you are not in Schaubs shoes.

  1. I believe Manning to be the best quarterback in the league, and it doesn't seem like any other quarterback is really doing much else. Except for Andrew Luck, but then again I'm biased so who's to say he actually is doing good?

  2. Peyton is a class act. Truly just goes onto the field as his job and takes care of business every time. Manning is far and away the best and most consistent QB in the league.

  3. How about the Jagaurs? Holding the Peyton Manning offense to its lowest points in a game 35.

  4. Lets be honest Peyton Manning is a wizard, yet he still is always looking for flaws in his game.

  5. Peyton Manning comes ready to play every game. He is consistent and does whatever he can to make sure that his team gets the W in the end. It seems like he keeps getting better as he gets older.
