Could Peyton Manning be overrated this year? (1 Viewer)

Why?He was never going to torch Baltimore. Jax shut him down, but do you expect Stl, Houston, Tenn, Browns to do the same?

Here's a stat for you; Indy played against the NFC North last year, one of the worst defensive conferences in the league. In those four games, Manning had 19 touchdowns, for an average of 4.75 TDs/game. In all his other games combined (not counting week 17), Manning averaged 2.73 TDs/game.

So I don't think, given that he doesn't get to play Green Bay, Detroit, and Minnesota again, that he'll get the easy, huge production that he got last year to put him over the top.

missed this thread in the preseason - EXCELLENT analysis and debate here, one of the better threads i've read in awhile.

2.7*14=37 TDsI like him to get exactly 38. This factors in above average games against the cupcakes and slightly below average games against the better Ds.

I've said all along that 38 was the # he'd get.

Colts season tix holder here, not that that matters.

I'd be happy w/38

He doesn't play GB, Det, and Minny, but he does face Tenn (twice), Stl, Cleveland, Houston, etc...all were bad last year or appear to be worse on D...

FBG's is my favorite website. For many years those here had an incredible edge when it came to drafting. Those times are over. Everyone and their cat understands VBD and I imagine 1/2 of FF owners are on this website. The time has come to either set yourself apart from the pack or follow the same rules everyone else is and hope you get lucky. Any person on this website that drafts Dom Davis or Julius Jones ahead of Manning at any position is a damn fool. RB craziness has both taken over FF and completely leveled the playing field. I would rather take three RBs in 2, 3 and 4 and be set at QB for the season. Lets face it, I likely would take RBs there anyways because of value. Time are changing. Either make your new path or make way on the newly beaten down one. You are going to have a lot of comapny.

Damn fool here.I think I'll start another thread on this.
