Purdy completed 44% of his passes. He looked like 38-year-old Peyton Manning out there.
Best consolation prize of the day.
I think you meant 39-year-old Peyton Manning. Manning was still decent in his age-38 season.
In his age-38 season, Manning was fourth-best in the league by passer rating, fifth-best by QBR, and fourth-best by ANY/A.
And if you change that to "39-year-old Peyton Manning,"
then my response will be "hush yo' mouf!"
I hope it's obvious why I don't like
that analogy. Just in case, I'll make it explicit. In his age-39 season, despite playing really badly (34th by passer rating, 30th by QBR, 36th by ANY/A), Peyton Manning won a Super Bowl with an otherwise strong roster for a team I dislike.
