Peyton Manning's race to 48

[Superman]

Who thinks he'll make it? He needs 13 more touchdowns in the Colts next six games. They play Detroit, Tennessee, Houston, Baltimore, San Diego, and Denver.

Dan Marino set the record at 48 in 1984.

 

[C Diddy]

He'll make it. He'll get somewhere between 48 and 52, barring an injury.

 

[SaCTowNFeveR]

If he keeps throwing 4+ TD's/game then he'll shatter it

 

[Abe Frohman]

Now he only needs 7 in 5 games.

At this rate hell get it his next game!!


Saying hes on a tear is an understatement.

What is the chance of a quarterback playing a whole season, without having to sit out a single game because of injury?

I'd guess its pretty low, unless the guy's name has some freaky canjun spelling, like frarvrvre (or however you spell that name)

Or unless his name is Peyton Manning. He's only missed one snap in his entire career due to injury. He got his jaw broken, missed a play, and came back in, only missing one snap.

He's missed 79 snaps in his 107 game career, and 78 of them were because the game was decided already.

In fact, pocket quarterbacks rarely get injured. They don't take that much contact, especially when they have a line like the Colts line. Manning has only been sacked 7 times this season.
