Not surprisingly, Fernando Mendoza was named the winner of the Manning Award.

Well Archie said it wasn't even close, right? LOLOLOLOL
Funny that a huge Tom Brady fan (Fernando) wins the Manning award.

Mendoza has a lot of similarities to Manning in how he prepares and how he leads with his offense. A lot of QBs think they can just tuck and run to help the team, but what they dont realize is teams scout how often that happens and in what situations. A disciplined QB like Fernando who always looks downfield and keeps his head up even after he calls his own number- that's a great way to lead with your guys. Makes it much more difficult for a defense if a QB only runs when its open.
