OK, clearly whoever does the player rankings for Yahoo is an idiot, and doesn't rank players based on objective facts. Let's look at the statistical breakdown for 2005:
Touchdowns
Palmer 33
Manning 28
Total Yardage (including rushes)
Palmer 3877
Manning 3792
Interceptions
Palmer 12
Manning 10
Fumbles Lost
Palmer 2
Manning 2
2-Point Conversions
Palmer 1
Manning 0
Yards/game
Palmer 239
Manning 234
Palmer edges Manning in every single category, except for interceptions, yet Manning is rated number 1, Palmer number 2. And further, Manning is rated overall at number 6, and Palmer at number 30.
