No,Actually I did a division by 5 of the weekly QB ratings Brady has been given so far and it came out to that number - could be nearly same as to completion percentage.

thanks to the OP for the data and the insight. it's kind of amazing actually.

Once again, we get information on this board that the guys who get paid to develop this at the Globe and the Horrald are too lazy or uncreative to develop themselves...

thanks again

That is what I have been yelling at ESPN. Thanks for the research.

The 2 Miami games have the jets, colts and the saints in-between.

One reason I think Colts fans were more forgiving was Peyton first practice was in the pre-game of the 1st game. Because of the infection and surgeries, Peyton missed all of training came and all of the preseason. So much of the Colts offense relies on timing and precision, that not making a single throw prior to game one was a HUGE issue. If you look at when Peyton's numbers started to straighten out, it matches up time wise to the amount of time training camp and preseason would have taken. I think most Colts fans were hold out hope that once he got some practice time under his belt, things would start clicking.

I can tell you right now Manning didnt miss many TD passes, nor did they have the redzone problems this team has had.

The comparison doesn't mean a singular thing. All it means is that Brady and Manning had similar types of starts to their seasons.

We're trying to justify in our own minds Brady's relatively poor start to this season, as it's un-Brady-like. He was never coming back the 2007 Brady.

I don't read anything into it at all.

Comparing Brady to anything right now is not fair. We still don't even know how damaged Brady's shoulder is right now. For all we know he's playing with a bad shoulder from the Skins game. Rust is one thing but there are times he is clearly horrible ... I think he's playing hurt.

Colts got a big win over Baltimore same time we did too, although I think it was a week later. They then lost two in a row before getting 9 straight wins.
