Completion % seems to consistently drop the last two games of the season.

Yay.

The splits have by month and home/away, but not both.

Alex's QB rating drops 10.1 points away, 84.6 (home) 74.5 (away), and he has a steady regression in QB rating from Sept to Dec:

83.9
81.5
74.9
72.9

Peyton's QB rating drops 6.8 away (100.1 to 93.3), and his rating dips in November, but recovers in December:

99.1
100.3
90.4
99.0

It looks like Alex is more effected by cold/away conditions than Peyton is.

Peyton spent the majority of the career in a dome. Did you factor that in?

You're my boy, blue.

This thread is racist.

I didn't factor anything in. They're splits.

If you wanted to try to factor it in, one could assume that Manning spent half of his December games outside, so half of Alex's late-season drop could be viewed as equivalent. However, Manning doesn't experience any drop, so it clearly isn't equivalent.

Alex is more affected by bad weather than Peyton, as far as I can tell.

That is some pretty shitty logic right there.

Was the couch Black?

Looking through his "Outdoor <40F" split from year to year, he doesn't do much differently in the cold.

Where is that?

its on espn.com splits.

One year was a 71.5, one year was 69.0, and one was 31.8, all less than his career 79.5 rating. The other years he didn't play in <40F weather. That's kind of interesting, this will be his first year playing in a lot of cold.

Peyton had years of 144.8, 105.3, 65.5, 97.0, 157.5, 95.6... and I got bored of looking. All but one was near or above his career 96.7.

I'd say Alex is more affected by the cold.

FTR I was only looking at PM. I really don't care about smith. I know he's mediocre.
