But the point is that even if Manning did it in 16 games when it was easy to play offense, shouldn’t that have an asterisk? I mean it would have been easier to move the ball vs say when Marino played even though both played 16 games? The point is that times change and to discredit an achievement or put an asterisk next to it because it doesn’t line up with a preconceived definition of what is an acceptable criteria is silly.
