Manning vs. Favre - Stats Nerdery!
I was intrigued by the Favre fellating as of late, so I decided to figure out where Manning will stand at a hypothetical retirement.
I did basic stats interpretation: I used his career numbers thus far and averaged them out over the remainder of his career, which I assumed to be 8 years, as he's previously stated he'd like to retire after 18 years.
Wins: 201
This assumes the Colts win 12 games over the next 8 years. They could win more. It's the least scientific of the bunch.
TDs: 551
Assumes an average of 30.6 per year. 59 more than Favre has now. He'd need two or three more seasons to put it comfortably out of reach.
Yards: 74,656
It's about 14,000 more yards than Favre has now. He'd need another 3.5 years to put it out of reach.
INTs: 275
Favre will probably keep this one. he's thrown 288.
Games Started: 288
Manning would need 6 more years to beat Favre's games started total. Unlikely but not out of the realm of possibility, and well within his 8 years remaining.
At retirement, Manning would have the #1 spot on all 4 major QB records. It's remarkable; we're literally watching history being made.

Thanks
Cool nerdy stats.
I was thinking yesterday about the history…its very cool. Kinda like watching Babe Ruth, or some other Bigger than Life legend during their prime.
