Peyton's post game interviews are fuckin' ace. What a fuckin' guy. Every American football fan every day should shake his hand and say thank you.
Not sure if serious or...
manning has been in the league 15 seasons. been to the playoffs 13 of those seasons. been to 3 super bowls.
drew brees has been in the league 13 seasons. been to the playoffs only 6 of those seasons. been to 1 super bowl.
looking at that and using everyones formula about greatness drew brees is one sorry ass bitch if he can't even get his team to the playoffs on a regular basis.
There's no debating Peyton Manning is an all time great QB. Anyone who says he's not in the top 10 is an idiot. However, some people think he's THE greatest, period, end of discussion. I can see why, based on his regular season stats and how dominant he can be for extended periods of time, but in the biggest moments of his career, too often he's come up small. That matters in sports. It matters how you play vs. the best possible competition and Manning's record is what it is. Not only has he lost a lot of playoff games, but he's played poorly in many of those loses.
He's the Wilt Chamberlin of NFL QBs. Amazing stats, dominating regular seasons and just way too much underachievement in the playoffs. (Both guys also earned one title).
Please just stop lol! He is not in the BOAT discussion right now and lastnites performance didnt help his argument at all. People want to give him all the props and say he is one of the best, yet the team sport concept excuse only applies when Peytons teams fail. Crimson aummed it up perfectly. If you want to throw out the most completions in a SB game...go ahead. But ots typical trying to deflect from a poor performance. Those comps were when the big game really didnt matter...we've seen this his whole career. When the game really mattered (early on) Peyton was clearly a mess.
you see my point. sports are a TEAM game.
What an empty truism. Look at Manning's salary. He is the highest paid player and therefore holds more responsibility for the results than anyone else on his teams. Also, like I said, even abstracting from the W/L records, his performances in the playoffs just haven't been stellar. Even in the Super Bowl he won he was far from great.
A Super Bowl he won against the only QB with a worse performance than his own the other night in the last ten years+.
