Default Re: Peyton Manning, Greatest QB of all time?

Indianapolis had the fewest drives of any team in the league this year, which serves to depress their raw totals. Their production per drive, in yards and points, respectively:

2003: 2.48; 34.74
2004: 2.93; 39.83
2005: 2.64; 37.04
2006: 2.80; 41.03

Incidentally, 2006 is the 4th straight year that Indy has been first in the league in both categories, which is pretty damn amazing. The Rams were first in both categories for three years, 1999-2001, though with slightly lower numbers. The stat is only listed going back to 1998, but its hard to think of another, similar stretch of offensive dominance, except perhaps from Bill Walsh's San Francisco teams.

Such as the Texans game in Week 16.

Texans TOP 35:59
Colts TOP 24:01

The Colts scored on 4 of really 5 drives. The first drive was ended on a Rhodes fumble on the second play of the game. One drive was a kneel to end the half. Their only real drive they didn't score was a punt in the 3rd I believe. Yet they still lose, lol.

Their defense kept them on the field, they were 22nd in the league in TOP. Their defense was also the best in the league at not allowing the big play, they allowed the fewest +20 and +40 yard receptions in the NFL.
