It sucks because there's no way to really debate certain aspects of someone's game other than with stats, but I don't think there was any question that either Brady or Manning were destined for greatness even if their statistics didn't reflect that. That's just opinion, but I seem to remember it being the general consensus of pretty much anyone involved in the game of football whether it was players, fans, or the media. Statistically yes, there will be exceptions to what I said though when it comes to their passer ratings, absolutely.

Are they exceptions, though? Manning's worst season (in terms of passer rating) was his 4th. Brady's was his 10th. Brees, 3rd. Roethlisberger, 4th. Flacco, 7th.

No, I figured that's what you were trying to say that's why I think it better to term it as a "change in philosphy".

Yeah, meant first 6 weeks, not games.
