You couldn’t name his other two receives without looking them up. One was a guy who had his second best year out of double digit seasons with about 550~ yards. The other was a rookie.
People will one day mock anyone who ever said Peyton manning in the same sentence with this dude. But then you’ll probably see a lot of people saying they never said that
Well, I haven’t seen any use of Williams and Peyton Manning in the same sentence in the context that they believe Williams will be as good as Peyton Manning. I suppose that could be mocked someday, but I haven’t seen it from a single person.
Where the two get used in the same sentence is simply pointing out the premature evaluation of a rookie quarterback who isn’t all world on day one.
People are not making a comparison of who will have the better career, they are simply advocating for patience and giving a prime example for why it makes sense. Peyton Manning, being one of the greats of all time did not have terrific numbers in his rookie season. And look what he accomplished.
Anybody mocking that example of why we should be patient is an idiot.
