Yeah, with that TD/INT ratio... 95% of other QBs would have been benched. This was done out of necessity, and after one game - it's ok.
Brock realizes this isn't his team yet - win against NE and play well, then he's really forcing their hand. Best case scenario, he plays well and Manning gets healthy and gives them some things to consider for the playoff run.
Brock didn't look stupid and he was fairly calm... yes, he had some off plays and took 5 sacks. That's going to happen in your first start on the road, taking over for a legend with a 7-2 record. He passed test #1, big one this week.
Hell, if anything... this sets up well for Manning. Get healthy, take a month plus off... come in healthy on your white horse and win a title. (very likely NOT happening, but it's out there if things fall the right way). The NFL is a game of attrition.
