He would've got to 100 wins a lot faster had he not suffered that knee injury.
FWIW, the record is officially "100 (regular-season) wins in 131 starts," so it does take the lost season into account.
That blows my mind, considering Peyton had three full seasons in the league before Brady had his first start, plus Brady missed all but one game of 2008 (not sure how that first game counts.) Plus the Dolts had all those 12+ win seasons the last few years.
Also heard this morning that only two QB/coach combos have won more than 100 together: Dan Marino/Don Shula (116 IIRC) and Terry Bradshaw/Chuck Noll (don't recall the number except that it was less than 110.) Needless to say I'm hoping Brady/Belichick surpasses both those records before it's done.
I know, what I'm saying is that Manning had a three year head start, four if you count the "lost" season, but Brady still got there faster, dig?
"100 Wins--Fastest QB Starts. The fastest quarterbacks to 100 wins in the Super Bowl era (since 1966):
131: Tom Brady, N.E.
139: Joe Montana, S.F.
147: T. Bradshaw, Pitt.
153: Brett Favre, G.B.
154: P. Manning, Ind."
But Manning could've had a 35 year head start, that doesn't matter. Manning actually got to a hundred wins before Brady did, but he did in a higher number of games. That's the record. Least amount of games played in while achieving 100 wins.
