68% completion - demolishes Manning
8.2 yards per attempt - kills anything Manning has put up save for last year
98.6 passer rating - higher than any rating Manning has put up
His numbers get better (compared to average) when he throws more. He is a 5000+ yard, 35 TD thrower on a team that needs him to throw 35 times or more a game.
