2009
Rivers: 104.4 QB rating, 8.0 ANY/A
Peyton: 99.9 QB rating, 7.5 ANY/A
2010
Rivers: 101.8 QB rating, 7.7 ANY/A
Peyton: 91.9 QB rating, 6.5 ANY/A
2011
Rivers: 88.7 QB rating, 6.6 ANY/A
Peyton: Missed the entire season after having his 3rd and 4th neck surgeries, a question mark to ever regain the same arm strength
2012
Rivers: Age 31, looking to bounce back from a down season with the same team where he's played for his entire career.
Peyton: Age 35, going to a new system in Denver after being released by the team where he'd played his entire career due to his injury issues.
If you were going to go all the way back to 08, should have just included 06 and 07 instead of cherry picking.
Makes you look less biased, and your point would still be valid.
