One of the most common things to do in sport is compare. We compare Michael Jordan to LeBron James, Wayne Gretzky to Mario Lemieux or Barry Bonds to Babe Ruth. We look at statistics and we look at the level of competition and we discuss the significance of the era in which players played among other things. When it comes to quarterbacks in the NFL – especially rookie quarterbacks – Peyton Manning is often the standard bearer and that’s where I’m focusing on with Kenny Pickett.
Back when he was a rookie in 1998, Peyton Manning led the Indianapolis Colts to a 3-13 record.
