Manning threw for 583 attempts this season - the third most in his career. The only game I saw him play was against the Pats and neither he nor the Broncos in general looked very good. On the other hand, its arguably his third best season ever and he put up numbers that put him in contention for the MVP. Also, he put up a surprisingly large amount of WPA despite the fact that Denver has a stellar defense.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />JAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38600807.post-2358316782885841112012-09-15T15:06:45.123-04:002012-09-15T15:06:45.123-04:00These charts were HOT.

I suspect ...These charts were HOT. I'm a fan.<br /><br />I suspect Manning's attempts will rise and resemble his Indianapolis days, though, and would avoid reading too much into the numbers from the Denver game.<br /><br />IIRC, the Broncos only had 7 drives, an incredibly low number. They will average at least 10 drives per game, and perhaps as many as 12.<br /><br />Additionally, it seemed like there was a transition from John Fox running the offense to Peyton Manning running the offense. The less Fox touches the offense -- which is what I expect the rest of the year -- the more passes for Manning.Chase Stuarthttp://www.footballperspective.comnoreply@blogger.com
