I always thought if Sorgi had been the back up instead of Painter in 2009, the team still might have gone 16-0. At least they had a much better chance of it happening than they would have as it was.

Also because of Sorgi, the Colts in 2004 threw more TDs as a team than the Pats in 2007, when Brady threw 50. Sorgi tossed two and Manning 49, so as a team it was 51 to Brady's 50 since he never sat out in their whiny "how dare you punish us for cheating Part I" year.
Sorgi was a pretty decent backup. However, I still remember the look on his face when manning told him to "get ready" after he hurt his thumb against the pats in the playoff game. I am pretty sure sorgi pooped himself a little.

Well yeah, wouldn't any back up?

Anyone back up going in the game at that time would have been shocked.
