Best 25 Seasons in History - CMI

Here's a list of the 25 best seasons in history in terms of CMI.  This list is different than a similar list I published earlier, based on QB Rating.  As I mentioned earlier, when looking at career CMI (versus career QB Rating), this list favors those quarterbacks who didn't throw a lot of interceptions.  What is particularly interesting, is Tom Brady's 2007 season.  He is rewarded on the QB Rating list (#2) for what he did - he threw 50 touchdowns.  He is rewarded here for what he didn't do - he didn't throw a lot of interceptions.  Also, interesting is that, according to this ranking, Peyton Manning had a better 2003 season than he did in 2004 (although he gets a lot of attention for what he did in 2004).  Again, this list is biased towards the more recent years, which of course suggests Sammy Baugh's season in 1945 must have been out of this world.  I will later on, look at these figures, relative to the time periods in which each of these seasons took place.
