Peyton Manning 2008 - Tom Brady 2009 - Through 5 games
After looking at these stats you might want to sit back a bit and relax,not saying it will turn out as well for Brady as it did for the reigning MVP in 2008 Peyton Manning but it COULD - So lets relax and stop the Brady sucks remarks after seeing these stats which are really quite similar at this point of the Colts 2008 Season with Manning off to a slow start and the 2009 season with Brady doing similar.
2008 league MVP Peyton Manning after 5 weeks of play Colts Record 3-2 Manning's passer rating on average of the 5 games - 62.3% Manning 8 TDs - 5 INTs Manning was 115 Passes completed out of 182 attempts - Which equals 67 incomplete passes Manning passed for 1,302 yards or 260.2 yards per game average 2009 Tom Brady after 5 weeks of play Patriots Record 3-2 Brady's passer rating on average of the 5 games - 61.2% Brady 6 TDs - 2 INTs Brady was 127 Passes completed out of 207 attempts - Which equals 80 incomplete passes Brady passed for 1,344 yards or 266.4 yards per game average So in comparison to the 2 star QBs you can see some stats that are eerily similar between Peyton's 2008 MVP season and Brady's start to the 2009 season in fact going by this Brady has more yards passing and a lower INT rate than Manning after 5 games between these two seasons. Like I said,it will take quite an effort for Brady to do what Peyton did in his turnaround last season but if any QB can do it,Its Brady Most Colts fan were not throwing Manning under the bus after 5 weeks...why should we do it with Brady? - We do know Brady is better, right? :) |

I'm not in panic mode yet, but I'm not prepared to relax either. :)

The interesting thing is that there was no apparent evidence that Manning was going to get it straightened out either. Really a very eerie similarity. |

Colts had a brutal schedule too last year. Ours is not SO bad here on out, I see 2 very tough games (though it could only be 1 if NO falls off) and the rest are good/mediocre teams or worse. Once Brady is back in form, I think we are favorites in each game assuming the defense does not regress from their 14-17 ppg performance thus far. And no reason to think it would especially with Mayo back and BB's history here.

Hopefully he'll turn the corner. This team will be scary good when he's back to his normal throwing ways.
