Quarterbacks:
Tier 1. When it comes to Brady or Manning, you’re not really going wrong. It’s like choosing between Shark Bites and Gushers. Manning had a better year last season, no doubt. But not by all that much (100 yards, 5 td’s, and had 3 more int’s). So then I take a look on reasons why each could improve upon those numbers. Manning could see a big jump up in Collier and Garcon’s production with another season to learn the playbook/his intricate audible system, I think Brady’s got more room for improvement on the season. Grawnkowski SHOULD give the Patriots their first great pass-catching tight end of the Brady era, and I think it’s something that’s really overlooked. When the Pats were doing their thang, play action to the tight end on the goal line was such a HUGE part of their red-zone offense. I think over the course of his career, New England kept losing confidence in Ben Watson and their ability to put TD’s on the board REALLY suffered. (more…)
