Wow, wrong (again) on almost every front. First, I'll give you the updated numbers, just for the heck of it.
Stats through 6 games
Berlin TD Int.
2003 7 10
2004 13 4
Now, let's get to your post.
I'll give you this--you figured out the TD/game correctly. The rest of that portion of your post is WRONG.
In 2003, UM played 13 games. Through 5 games, (as you pointed out) Brock was on pace to throw 1.2 TD passes/game. If he'd kept that pace (which he didn't), he would have thrown 15.6 TDs. For the sake of round numbers, I'll say that would have been 16.
In 2004, UM will play 12 games. If you want to evaluate Brock this year vs. last year, all things have to be equal. So you have to use the 13 games marker. Brock is on pace for 1.6 TD passes/game(through 5 games). If he keeps that pace (he greatly improved that pace last night, but I'll use the numbers through 5 games just for the sake of argument), he'll throw 20.8 TDs. Again, for the sake of round numbers, I'll say 21,
Let's see, 21-16=5. Nice try with the "only one more TD" argument.
Are you aware that the SINGLE most important stat in football is turnovers? Winning the turnover battle correlates to winning games over ANY other stat (except, of course, points for/against :tongue: ). I would expect any fan of the sport to know this.
Uh, he didn't lose Gore until the fifth game last year.
Roscoe Parrish (322 yards) and Ryan Moore (637 yards) are the only returning WR who played in more than 3 games last year. Moore has 3 catches (in 3 games) this year. Lance Leggett, Darnell Jenkins, and Akeem Jolla have made big contributions this year. Before this year, those three guys have played in 4 college football games combined. So here's my question--how is our WR corps much more matured? Don't you have to play in games to mature? I haven't even mentioned the losses of Kevin Beard and some tight end named Winslow. They aren't WR, but Greg Olsen and Kevin Everett (our tight ends if you're wondering) are very inexperienced as well. Everett saw plenty of action last year, but that Winslow guy caught the Lion's share of TE passes.
I guess that addresses most of your post.

Now, let's get to your post.
Instead of a 1.2, it's a 1.6 TD rate through 5 games. So basically, you're telling me that BB is going to score 1 TD more?

Sorry, besides the INTs, he isn't improving

considering the fact that he hasn't lost Gore,
