I'm talking about the first link. The second one is older and I've read it before and don't take issue with.
The first one basically says Manning has more INTs than Eli. Not sure why that matters. And not sure why the author selected 15-INTs as the "benchmark" for a lot of INTs. It's a stupid benchmark.
Then he talks about pick 6s thrown. Yeah, obviously, bad to throw them. But of the 4 names listed for most pick 6s thrown, 3 will be first-ballot HOFers. Some guys like Schaub will throw a lot of pick-6s, but they won't throw them for long before getting yanked. You have to have a long career to build up any negative stats. Brady has thrown fewer pick-6s. Then again, Jimmy G has thrown fewer than even Brady. It's a meaningless stat to point out.
Really, the bunch of funny Manningfaces was the highlight of the "article."
I just don't get the cut-off of 15 INTs and what it supposedly means. The article seems to imply it's a benchmark for a bad season, and Manning has 8 of them compared to 0 for Brady. It's an arbitrary point selected to highlight a difference between Manning and Brady. Brady has 3 14-INT seasons while throwing 50ish less passes those seasons, yet Manning gets called out for it. And never mind that he won the MVP award while throwing 15+ INTs in a season, as did Kurt Warner.
Cold Hard Football Facts has some good stuff, but this piece wasn't one of them.
None of this is intended to defend Manning over Brady. It's just to say that 15 INTs in a season by themselves mean absolutely nothing. It could be an MVP season like 2009 Manning or 2014 Andy Dalton's 17 TDs/15 INTs/up and down and all over the place season. You can't tell just by looking at the 15 INTs.
