Bad Things Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 You have Todd Collins in there? What were Peytons numbers his first year? If I remember correctly... he wasn't too impressive as he was learning the ropes. I thought the same thing about Favre too, but it looks like I could've been wrong.

He had an even better year-5 - 83.3%!!! (5 of 6 - 73 yards)
