No, he wasn't "really bad". He made some poor decisions at times and his throws in the 2nd half that were off the mark/ underthrown were likely the result of the wrist injury he was dealing with. 

 

I'd like to see a true breakout game or 2 by Blake at some point this year however. For all of this comparing to Manning and the INT's their rookie years, the difference is Peyton also had 26 TD's to go along with the 28 INT's. 

 

I also don't see how any QB would have succeeded that first half with that atrocious play calling. That was awful. When they opened it up in the 2nd half, surprise surprise Blake started putting up the numbers and they moved the football.
