After Matt Ryan's meltdown yesterday, it seems the QB stat race is now down to Brady, Manning and Ryan.
Brady gets dinged for fewer TDs and--esp. in comparison to Manning--a lower completion rate.
That lower completion rate is really nonsense because of the first downs the Patriots rack up. I've never seen a team where a pass incompletion was almost a non-statistic. Mesko rarely sees the field, which means pass incompletions are not hurting the Patriots too badly.
The one stat I took the most notice of:
Rushing TDs:
Patriots 16
Broncos 6
Packers 2
Kick/Punt returns for TD:
Patriots 2
Broncos 2
Packers 1
Fumble/Int for TD:
Patriots 3
Broncos 4
Packers 1
Total non-passing TDs:
Patriots 21
Broncos 12
Packers 4
This is something to consider when comparing Brady to Manning and Rodgers.
