Manning shows that he's worth the money

This past March the Indianapolis Colts re-signed Peyton Manning to a franchise record $98 million contract. Some people wondered whether or not he was actually worth all that money. Well, if you look at the numbers he has posted in just his first three games of this season most would agree that he's worth it. In just these first three games Manning already has nine touchdown passes and an outrageous quarterback passer rating of 119.9. To put Manning's stats for this year into perspective one just needs to look at the Colts opponents for this week. Jacksonville's quarterback, Byron Leftwich, has 391 yards passing this year. That's two less yards than Manning put up this last Sunday alone. At this rate it doesn't even matter what the defense does, because Manning always has an answer.
