-0-? They had the same crappy 3 wins and same crappy ratings.
Manning's 26 TDs were definitely impressive. They were also a 3-way tie for his worst year until his abbreviated final season. His feat was tempered by the 28 INTs.
Lawrence only had 12 TDs against 17 INTs.
Lawrence also ran for 2 TDs against 0 for Manning, bringing their total TD:INT ratios more in line.
Manning's 3,739 passing yards were slightly more than Lawrence's 3,641.
Manning's 6.5 y/a were slightly better than Lawrence's 6.0.
Lawrence ran for 334 yards against 62 for Manning, making Lawrence's total yards greater. However, Lawrence had 17 games vs 16 for Manning.
Lawrence's 4.3 y/rush were slightly better than Manning's 4.1.
I'm not sure what's a "win" anyhow when comparing 2 sucky rookie years. Maybe Lawrence being a bit worse means he'll be a greater GOAT. ;)
We'll see, he'll need 13 wins this year to equal Manning's 2nd year. Seems unlikely for the Jags.
