Peyton Manning had a passer rating of 105.8 with 4,659 yards, 37 touchdowns and 11 interceptions in 16 games in 2012.
Calvin wasnt even in consideration.
Generally need to be at least on a winning/playoff team to be in consideration. Lions were 4-12 that year and while W-L is largely considered a Coach/QB stat, if the Lions were 9-7 that year, he might have won it. 1,200 of his nearly 2k yards came in the final 8 weeks where the Lions lost them all. He also only had 5 TDs.
