Chicken Boo Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 We get it. 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. 2 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even in his rookie year you could tell that he was special. It's why I never had any patience for Edwards or Taylor, you have to try to make plays. I'd rather see that than checkdown, checkdown, checkdown. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobills404 Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Josh is an insanely talented QB and we’re beyond lucky to have him on the Bills. 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. 5 9 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
section122 Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 As others have mentioned pre 2008 the qb position stats were different. Also it would be interesting to see fumbles added in as I dont recall it being as much of an issue for manning as it is w allen. Hopefully at the end of his career though Allen's thought of in the same tier as Manning especially those super bowl wins! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen wasn't expecting to start.. Also Peyton threw more and was playing against a bunch of 34 and 43 looks ; not as athletic Lbs so it makes it even more impressive for Josh imo 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manning is the pipe dream for every bad rookie season across the league. Manning and Allen are 20 years apart, I think it is important to compare them to their peers relatively rather than by raw numbers. By that metric they also similar in a lot of categories, which is awesome. In year 5 Manning threw 19 interceptions, good for 3rd highest in the league. Ask Manning, Dungy, Allen, McD. I would be my mortgage they would all say that their turnovers are too high. Edited July 3, 2023 by Mango 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

artmalibu Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Josh was majorly handicapped with his weapons especially his first year, not to mention a bad O-line. And didnt have a #1 wr till his 3rd year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
