Draft Guide Sampler: By the Numbers
By Ray Flowers
Numbers scare some people. Better yet, they turn some people completely off. I’m like a moth to a flame because delectable digits fascinate me to no end. Hopefully I’ll be able to share some of that passion with you in this piece which includes numbers that intrigue, titillate and illuminate the men who make their mark on the gridiron.
QUARTERBACKS
Drew Brees has three of the top-5 yardage seasons in NFL history. He’s the only man ever to pass for 5,000 yards in three straight seasons, although he fell just short last season with 4,952 passing yards, which tied Ben Roethlisberger for the NFL lead. Over those four seasons, Brees has averaged 5,192 passing yards. Tom Bradyand Peyton Manning are the only two men to have ever thrown for that many yards in a single season. Moreover, Brees has thrown at least 33 touchdown passes (more than two per game) in each of the past seven seasons. Aaron Rodgers has only reached that mark three times, Tom Brady five times and Peyton Manningseven times in their careers.
Jay Cutler had five straight games of double digit touchdown passes to start the season. His total of 28 passing scores was a career best.
Andrew Luck, Peyton Manning and Ben Roethlisberger all had 42 passes last season of at least 25 yards.Blake Bortles and Derek Carr had 21 each. Luck also led the NFL with 40 touchdown passes, one more thanRussell Wilson (20) and Colin Kaepernick (19) had combined.
Luck averaged 341 passing yards and 2.75 touchdown passes per game over the first half of the season. In his final eight games, he averaged a mere 254 passing yards and 2.25 touchdown passes per contest.
Peyton Manning threw 112 passes in the red zone, the most in football. Three others were in triple digits: Aaron Rodgers (109), Eli Manning (104) and Ben Roethlisberger (101). Manning threw 27 passes inside the five-yard line. Andy Dalton (7), Russell Wilson (8) and Jay Cutler (12) threw the same amount of such passes combined.
Peyton Manning stunk up the joint in December. His 76.8 rating was lower than Kyle Orton (80.0). He only threw three touchdown passes while Shaun Hill threw four. He tossed six interceptions while Eli Manning threw two. Peyton wasn’t the only signal caller who dealt with issues limiting the turnovers late in the year. Drew Brees tied Manning with six picks in December, but both men were two interceptions behind Philip Rivers who tossed eight.
