Middle of the week question open to everyone... something to pass the time until tonight maybe.
Would Peyton Manning have smashed every regular season record with ease had he ran an offense at the pace of league average? Think, more plays = more opportunities for statistics. The quicker the drive, the quicker the other team gets the ball, and the closer Peyton is to getting the ball back. He runs one of slowest and more methodical offense we have ever seen, yet he is inching near the top of the records for NFL quarterbacks.
He greatly benefits from his reads at the line, I get that, but if he hadn't been draining the play clock with his long-winded reads, extended blitz callouts, etc, would we be talking about this guy like he is the greatest of all-time already? (Try to keep playoff stats out of this, strictly talking about efficiency in the regular season).
I wonder this every time I see him play.
