With Welker, could Manning get 5200 yds and throw to 3-1000+ recievers?

[HatianRubble]

I think offense will have the potential to rival New Englands 07, Indys 04, and Minnys 98 offenses. This offense is going to be explosive. I wouldnt be surprised if Manning reclaims the single season TD record at all.

[theMileHighGuy]

Maybe if we don't run the ball at all that could happen. You also forget who the head coach is. We'll be up by two TDs in a lot of games, so that means a lot of foot off the gas, running the clock.

[captainbronco]

shoot i dont care if he passes for less than a 1000 yards this season as long as we win the big game stats dont mean crap without the wins

[MileHighMagic24]

Barring any injuries, we have the potential to become the highest scoring offense in NFL history this season. I expect DT's number only to increase; catches, yards, and TD'S. I expect Welker to catch about 105-110 passes, 1,200 yards. Decker will see a drop off in targets, but I still predict he'll haul in at least 7 TD's

[TheArtofManning]

I can see Manning's totals increasing from the 2012 figures. How much is anyones' guess.
Manning really doesn't want to throw THAT much. He prefers a balnaced approach. Much will depend on Denver's running game.
Last year, Manning's YPA, was 7.99 which was the 3rd best YPA of his career, only bested by 9.17 in 2004, and 8.27 in 2005. IN those seasons he ad 497 attemps and 453 attempts respectively. In those years. the Colts rested him during the last 2-3 games, killing his overall yards output, which were 4557, and 3757.

In 2012, Manning had 583 attempts, which is a lot. If he passes 600 times in 2013, he'd have to be at 8.33 YPA to make 5000 yards. This would probably be the upper limit of his stats. I can see 600 attempts, and I think his YPA will be even better than in 2012, but how much better?

I'd project around 550-600 attempts and 4500-4800 yards in 2013. He'll spread it around, but Denver will be playing with leads for much of the season, so I would not expect 5000+ yards.

Having said that.........pour it on baby!

It would be a TERRIBLE thing if the passing stats happen. It will mean our defense sucks and Manning had to air it out like crazy just to keep us in games.

Two 1,000 yard rushers would mean we're either the best team in the league by far, or Manning was hurt and Oz cant throw at all.

Just because Manning produces more yards doesn't mean that we had to air it out to keep us in games. Adam Gase's plan for the offense is petal-to-the-metal football.
Some of the stats for Brees shows my point that it would be hard to have 3-1000+ yard recievers.

Or it means we found an aggressive coach who doesn't care about irrational morals and sportsmanship.

Meant Receivers.

[BroncoStampede]

Drew Brees 2011-5476 yards passing 46 TDs

His top receivers:
Jimmy Graham 1310 yards with 11 tds
Marques Colston 1143 and 8
Darren Sproles 710 and 7
Lance Moore 627 and 8
Robert Meachem 620 and 6

For full breakdown of information it is found here.

It could happen, but as the OP said it's more likely there will be 2 1000 yard rushers and the love will be spread around just like Brees did.

In answer to your question, no its not possible. Although Im sure they could in Madden. Thank you, have a nice day.

DT, Decker, and Welker will get 1000yds each im very sure. I dont know about 5200yds passing for manning but we will see.

Im bored/frustrated with the #ElvisDumervil #faxgate #hesaidshesaid threads...so im making my own

Manning threw for 4654 yards and 37 touchdowns and threw to:
DT - 1434 and 10 TDS
Decker - 1063 and 13 TDS
Stokeley - 544 and 5 TDs
Tamme - 555 and 2 TDs
Dressen - 544 and 5TDS
RBs and other recievers - 718 and 2TDS

(Welkers stats last year were 1354 yards and 6 TDS)
Now, lets say that Manning has a STELLAR year and gets 600 more yards (2nd best ever in history) and he throws to 3-1000+ yard recievers! (lets hope!)
so...2013/2014 regular season (assume without Stokely) would look like this:

DT = 1300 yards and 11 TDs
Decker - 1000 yards and 14 TDS
Welker - 1300 yards and 7 TDs
Tamme - 500 yards and 2 TDS
Dressen - 500 yards and 4 TDS
RB and other - 600 yards nd 2 TDS
5200 yards and 40TDS
What happens is there is only a limited amount of extra yardage that Manning is ever going to get. And when you increase one recievers yardage, another will have less.

Is it possible that Manning will get 5200 yards and 3 - 1000+ recievers? YES! But, more likely two will get the 1000+ and the rest Manning will spread around.
