The OS Daily Ten - Where Does Peyton Manning's Touchdown Record Rank? Stuck

With one week to go, Peyton Manning already owns the single-season record for passing touchdowns (51). I posed the question last week regarding your thoughts on the emerging offensive explosion within the NFL -- to which many are not a fan -- Tom Brady, however, is very impressed.

Granted, Manning is one of the greatest quarterbacks in league history, but the rule changes favoring the offense and pourous defensive play make it somewhat difficult to judge apples-to-apples the passing achievements of seasons past.

Where does Peyton Manning's single-season passing touchdown record rank and is it muddied by the NFL's favortism towards offense?

It's a record but like Peyton said it's only temporary as Brady or Brees or even Manning next year will break it again. When Tom Brady broke it, it was a little more impressive.

With the rules for defenses being the way they are now, I'm just not impressed.

I am impressed only to the fact that no one else has done it at this time. I am impressed only in respect to someone who has come off major neck surgeries.
But given the state of the NFL that centers an entire team on one position and the fact that defenses have slowly been neutered over the last few years, this feat has been diminished to some extent.
