and shocky i never knew eli almost beat out warner..i\'m just going by the one game i think it was in preseason where he played and he just looked confused..worried and insecure...warner has had some decent games..hell why not give some credit to the opposing defenses he\'s been facing? until i see eli perform again, i\'ll reserve my judgement of him....
Yep, everyone forgets that if you throw out the Jets game, Mannings stats were:
4/7 for 99 yards against the Ravens
9/15 for 117 yards against the Panthers
7/13 for 91 yards against the Chiefs
All this with no INT\'s.
Those aren\'t bad numbers overall. 20/35 for 307 yards without an INT. All people hear about is that Jets game though, cause that\'s what lost him the starting job to begin the season. Warner over that same stretch:
3/7 for 49 yards
9/11 for 71 yards and an INT
7/9 for 79 yards and an INT
Total of 19/27 for 199 yards with two INT\'s. Higher completion percentage, fewer yards, more int\'s. It\'s not that different really.
