In just his time with the Broncos, Manning completed 66.5% of his passes for 17,112 yards, 140 touchdowns, and 53 interceptions. Over 3 and a half seasons that averages to 4,889 yards, 40 touchdowns, and 15 interceptions. Oh, and he had a passer rating of 101.7, which is higher than his time in Indy and higher than Tom Brady's career passer rating.

Of course, he also set the single season passing record for yards and touchdowns in Denver, but yeah, sure, he wasn't above average. :rolleyes2:
My feeling is if you don't have better than a 3-1 TD-INT ratio that puts you in the average at best category. Those kind of numbers on any other team = missing the playoffs. Call me crazy.

I love it when folks "embiggen" themselves using words like espouse.....

I didn't like it when Bill B didn't kick the FG.
I have to axe you did BB espouse hisself?

When I say "Lucky", i do account for the fact that the Steelers were missing most of their key offensive players....That, and the back breaking fumble, in which a FG alone on that drive, could have put that game to sleep

Against a fully healthy Pats team, I thought they pretty much dominated all day, and would have been pretty unlucky to lose that game
Which year are you talking about? NE fully healthy:pound:

Don't suntan.

Can golf cheaply here.

Get enough swimming every day at lunch.

I'm good.....
OK, but's it's not every day you can see the Sun appear to rise from out of the clouds on top of an extinct volcano then coast down over 10,000 feet on a bike to the bottom of the mountain.

Sounds good on paper.

Maybe if Scotty could beam me over.....

But if I have to fly, not a chance.

I'll see what King Kamahamahamaha can do. In the meantime, will Aloha Air do?

Well if you take away this past terrible season out of those numbers he easily had a 3-1 TD-INT ratio. So for 3 of the 4 years in Denver he was an elite QB in this league. Unfortunately father time caught up with him about as fast as any player I have ever seen in the NFL.

I never willingly fly if I have to leave the ground....
I don't mind the flying itself. It's the stuff that goes with it that is a major pain in the arse such as ticketing, security, and on one certain airline being herded like cattle onto the plane.

Don't do international travel.....

Technically since Maui is part of Hawaii, it qualifies as an island that's part of the United States. Therefore, it wouldn't be considered international travel, just interstate travel. There I go again. Once you pointed out my ability to self-embiggen, I now seem to crave more. You've ruined me.

Except I am not a resident of the Excited States, so it is international travel for me.....

So while you were espousing your knowledge of the Excited States, you neglected to examine the details of the person you were attempting to embiggen with said knowledge....
