If you want to hear something really indicative of how flawed Manning’s touchdowns are this year Brady has 19 touchdowns passes this season, 11 of his touchdowns have occurred on a pass thrown more than 10 yards down the field; Peyton has 41 touchdowns this season (more than double Brady’s total) and 14 of his touchdowns have occurred on a pass thrown more than 10 yards down the field. For those who are mathematically challenged that means despite throwing 22 more touchdown passes then Brady this season Manning has only thrown 3 more than Brady on a pass thrown longer than 10 yards down the field. I would like everyone to read my last sentence, think about it for a minute and then read it again because it’s actually laughable.
I am a realist and I know Manning is going to break the record and truthfully I could care less, I did think it was worthwhile to point out exactly how much different their performances actually are. Just to reinforce how much the talent is doing to help Manning to this record, 24 of his touchdowns have been caught by D. Thomas, Decker, Welker or J. Thomas on a pass thrown behind the line of scrimmage to 10 yards.
