2nd: Unfortunately, there is about a 15 year difference and raw number have increased drastically in that timeframe. So probably best we compare them to their peers. (I have actually heard folks suggest Andy suffers because his peers are better).
3rd: The year he dropped he was also rated #8 in the NFL Andy was #25. Why pick a singular stat?
Like I asked Phil. Which QB do you think showed better promise?
I'd say Manning, and it obviously had very little to do with production given the similarity of their stats at the time. Peyton Manning was one of the most heralded draft picks of all time.
