Elite passer better than Peyton was at this stage. Passer rate 100.00. You lose.
Not even remotely true. :lol:
Evaluating QB's based only on passing yards and passing TD's is pretty silly. Not sure where you got 110 TD's for Peyton's first three years, but that's incorrect. If you look at the stats below in their totality, I would say that Wilson's numbers are better than Peyton's. The passing yards and passing TD's you listed are such a small sample size of all the numbers that are used to evaluate QB's, they really don't tell the story.
Here are some stats for some QB's for their first three years:
Total yards (passing and rushing)- Peyton..12538; Wilson...11827; Marino...11445; Brady...6766
Total yards including postseason- Peyton...12979; Wilson...13902; Marino...13125; Brady...7360
Total TD's (passing and rushing)- Peyton...88; Wilson...83; Marino...100; Brady...47
Total TD's including postseason- Peyton...90; Wilson...97; Marino...113; Brady...49
Passer rating- Peyton...86.4; Wilson...98.6; Marino...96.4; Brady...85.9
TD%- Peyton...5.1; Wilson...5.8; Marino...6.9; Brady...4.5
INT%- Peyton...3.4; Wilson...2.1; Marino...3.1; Brady...2.6
Yards per attempt- Peyton...7.32; Wilson...7.95; Marino...8.01; Brady...6.5
