RoyBatty is alive Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 20 minutes ago, Chicken Boo said: It was a different era. Peyton's receivers were also allowed to get mugged on their routes and killed after the catch. The linebackers of that time are better than the linebackers today. Tough comparison. The linebackers of that time where much bigger/slower and required a lot less to cover receivers. There is no way a team would have drafted Dorian Williams in the 3r rd back then as we did this year, too small. From that perspective, strictly as a passer, the linebackers were easier for a QB to pick apart (sans the incredibly generous rules now in place for receivers). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manning had Harrison, Faulk, Torrance Small and Dilger on his offense and they added James a year later. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You even say it yourself that the receivers were allowed Ro get mugged. They were bigger but a lot slower. Those linebackers wouldn’t be able to keep up with offenses today just like current linebackers would have to be able to handle more of a beating back in those days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different era mind you and the Colts team he was drafted to was bad. But those early years a Peyton Manning back breaking INT at a critical moment never felt far away.

Nuncha Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 (edited) Peyton played all home games in a dome so.......big disadvantage to Josh. Edited July 3, 2023 by Nuncha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshhasbighands Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Josh has made mistakes but I saw a piece yesterday where they were saying Burrow threw 15 INTs last season, yet he is thought of for some reason as so much better than Josh by people in the media. I think Allen gets judged differently because of the pre draft talk around him and his issues. People who thought he'd be a bust will grudgingly admit he's good when they have no other choice (when he plays out of his mind) but every time he throws a pick they're right there with the same old Allen talk. I'm sort of glad he's not the media darling anymore because he's better with a chip on his shoulder. I wouldn't be too surprised to see him have an MVP year this season. But to shut these guys up he needs to win a Super Bowl and an MVP 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh is good, BUT it was a vastly different game in the late 90s-2000s and yes, Peyton threw a ton of pics early in his career. Yep. It would be a heck of a lot more analogous to compare Josh over his first 80 games to someone like Patrick Mahomes. Anyone have the stats on that comparison? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dablitzkrieg Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 I was thinking to myself about this last night. 10-15 years from now it is going to suck without Allen at QB. We are very lucky and need to enjoy it now. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also leads the league in turnovers since 2020 and needs to do a much better job of taking care of the football. Both these things can be true.

You're right on both counts. 4 hours ago, wppete said: Peyton Mannings arm doesn’t even compare to the rocket 🚀 arm Josh’s Allen has. Josh has a great arm, but I do think Manning had a pretty good arm when he was young, so I can't agree with you there. The stat I'm concerned with is how many Super Bowls they win.

Gugny Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Manning had better receivers, running backs and coaches when he won his first ring. Comparing Allen to Manning really isn’t relevant. Comparing the teams/coaching staffs surrounding/supporting them is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure you can find whatever statistics for whatever you are looking for. In my honors math statistics class in college we were given assignment to set the conditions necessary to get results requested by professor using data provided. It reminds me of Rodney Dangerfield "Back to School" exercise using widgets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
