NFL Bust of the Year - goes to Peyton Manning

So far Peyton Manning has been anything but great. Manning is in my opinion, the best quarterback in the NFL and already in the top 5 or 6 of all time. With that said, what a bust he has been this year.

Manning QB rating is currently at 79.0, much lower than his career average of 94.0. He has thrown 10 touchdowns but also thrown 9 picks. He is also only averaging 6.6 yards per play, 1.1 lower than his career average. Not only that, the Colts are 3-4.

Of course Manning teammates haven't been much help. Marvin Harrison is playing like age 50. And the Colts running game ranks last in the NFL in yards per game. Much of the Colts offensive line is also banged up leading to numerous sacks and hurries against Manning. With that said, Manning has made a many Fantasy League players have nightmares and vomit.
