A few things I think

I believe that they would have gone 10-7 with a very good (but not great) quarterback.



If a prime Peyton Manning were the quarterback, I believe that the Colts would have beaten the Vikings by at least 12 points with the way that the Colts' defense played in that game (it was one of their better ones.)

Then there were games when the offense played well, but the defense was terrible (the first Jaguars game, and the Giants game.)

I think that Manning would have found a way to beat the Texans twice, also.

Bit conservative on Manning, I think (as a homer). Prime Manning would have torched this version of the league. Old, broken Manning only got to play 3 seasons under the 2011 changes... 17 game averages: 5264yds, 46tds, 13int.

Mahomes/Allen sweep HOU, GB, MIN and probably DEN. Defense earned JAX and NYG, so keep them. That's 12-13 wins

Good QB would have at least split with HOU, scored 17 on GB, which is already a division championship. Good QB probably would've beaten MIN that night. Hell, probably DEN, too.

Mishew level QB would've had us at 9-8 again.
