Eli Manning number 2? So far, the defenses he has faced are Washington (70.1%), St Louis (92.1%), and Cincinnati (89.4%). Its hard to believe that the Rams and Bengals actually have better than average pass defenses. In the Rams case, this is because people can run on them so easily, they don't need to pass. The Bengals defensive rating was wind-aided in their game against the Titans. I think this is a problem caused by sample size that will work itself out in the next few weeks. Anyway, Manning's next four games are against Seattle (124.1%), Cleveland (107.9%), Seattle (66.5%), and Pittsburgh (73.4%). So he might have a good game against the Seahawks, but other than that, I don't really see him putting up any better numbers than he has to this point.
Kurt Warner is the #3 QB by TPV, and #9 by actual yardage. His opponents to date have been San Francisco (66.5%), Miami (105.3%), and Washington (70.1%). His next four are the Jets (101.7%), Buffalo (100.1%), Dallas (78.2%), and Carolina (86%). So he could have a couple of good games, then a few tougher games.
Jay Cutler, one of our favorites, is the #2 passer by yards in the NFL but only #12 by TPV. So far, he has faced some pretty poor pass defenses: Oakland (124%), San Diego (167.8%), and New Orleans (123.1%). I expect that Oakland and San Diego are actually better than that, so Cutler's TPV should improve. His next four opponents are Kansas City (96.5), Tampa Bay (112.8%), Jacksonville (102.1%), and New England (114.8%). So, for the most part, he will continue to face below average defenses. His numbers may drop off a little, but there is no need to panic here.
Brett Favre owners, on the other hand, might have cause for concern. He is the #14 passer in terms of actual yardage, but #23 in terms of TPV. He has faced nothing but below average pass defenses in Miami (105.3%), New England (114.8%), and San Diego (167.8). Again, New England and San Diego's defenses are probably better than that (did I mention sample size), but they have been underperforming to date. He faces Arizona (89.4%) , Cincinnati (89.4%), Oakland (124%), and Kansas City (96.5%). Some of these defensive numbers may go up, meaning Favre's upcoming schedule probably isn't as tough as it looks.
So I don't think there are any great epiphanies here - Eli and Warner might be slightly better than their numbers indicate, and Cutler and Favre might be slightly worse. But none of these numbers jump out as something alarming or revealing.
