IMO, Peyton Manning does get an unbelievable pass by not only the media (media members that seem to just love to kiss up to Archie and his kin), but also from the fantasy playing geeks, as well as the Madden playing geeks.

There is no question that Manning can put up stats, but when the pressure is on more often than not he comes up short. His overall playoff record doesn’t lie.

It is a shame that more people don’t look at his stats, instead of sitting there on just swallowing everything that the pro Manning media spews out.

Can you put the phrase “AND stats” behind Dilfer and Johnson’s championships/careers? Didn’t think so. Bottom line is PM played good enough to win, but didn’t win. It happens. The pick six in the 1Q was a PI, the tuck rule wasn’t called when it should have been, and he had one bad pick in a moment of the game shouldn’t even of been a moment had his teammates played better. That loss was on a lot of people, but PM is way down on the list. And by the way, champion does mean champion, even if its only once. Just ask Dan Marino.

Kit would take tebow lightyears to put up the numbers Peyton did in 2012. You’re not gonna take a team far completing 40.4% passes in the playoffs. Tebow stunk against brady, he could never beat the elites, broncos wouldn’t have made the playoffs last season with tebow. The 20 teams that didn’t make the playoffs would love to have manning under center. The teams who are looking for a QB now would snatch him up in a hot second. You would ne the dumbest owner in the world if you didn’t pursue manning. The colts cut him because they too like others thought manning wouldn’t play again. I would trade tebow and all draft picks for two years to get manning.

I never heard of a “VP of Football Operations” job before.
And because a SB winning QB has that job, he is the only:
1) Guy we will ever see on TV with that job.
2) Broncos exec we will see on TV.

Do the Broncos even have an owner? If so, I have no idea what he looks like. Unless it’s John Elway.

You never heard of it because it’s not in any pop up books. Just because you’re a moron don’t expect the rest of the world to slow down for you.

I like the part when the young hero won more playoff games than the boss’s hand picked ringer. Lesson #1 – backstabbing didn’t make the fans feel good nor did it deliver any results. Lesson #2 – mobile QBs dominated the league. No wonder those bitter old alcoholic restauranters Namath and Elway hate Tebow for bringing in a new style that makes their glories obsolete.

yea, every fan loves a great regular season followed by a one and done in the playoffs… hell Colts fans were the happiest people ever for the last decade by that logic.

Christ, if he had won the super bowl would have have given him a happy ending during the post-game show? “Yea, he gets an A+ for beating the Chiefs twice…and beating the Ravens during the regular season!”. Will enjoy watching Denver choke again next year.

Thank goodness he was able to land Peyton at Denver, someone worthy of being the Crown Prince to his Kingdom. We understand.

Best QB in the NFL though is the same guy it’s been for the past few years, Aaron Rodgers.

One thing I will say for PM though, his postgame presser after that playoff loss showed a lot of leadership and that’s not something I’ve ever said about him before. He owned up to his bad decisions which has never happened in any other postgame he’s played poorly in that I know of. Good for him. Maybe now that he’s late in his career he has been humbled by not having the game to play for a year and his own declining skills making him feel more mortal. And before I get picked on for saying he has declining skills, all players at that age do (maybe not kickers :) ). I’m not slamming him. It’s a fact of life.

To the people complaining about taking a knee and the run plays, I’m guessing you don’t realize that PM himself audibled to that run on 3rd & 7 by his own admission and taking a knee was also a joint decision if I remember right. So stop complaining about Fox/McCoy for those.

If he wasn’t the best qb this year, he was still top 5 again. People can talk all they want, Peyton Manning is a first ballot hall of famer. I’m like 99.5% sure of that much.

How ironic is it that the QB nobody wanted got a playoff win with that team last year and the QB everybody wanted couldn’t….

I guess they can always circumvent the salary cap again, like they did when they won both their Super Bowls.

All his stats and great games mean nothing once the playoffs start.
Against the Ravens it actually got to the point where he aged right in front of our eyes. He actually looked like he did not even belong on the field.
Would like to see him get another one…but he is now too old, too slow, too past his prime, and as usual is horrible in the playoffs.
When it goes – it goes quick. I think we are going to be seeing a big drop in performance from him very soon.

All that said, 9 – 11 lifetime in the playoffs including a sweep the year the Colts won it all.

Its not his fault the Ravens completed a 70 yd pass with 30 seconds left. That game was over. Blame the Bronco defense that is who lost them the game.

He hasn’t won an outdoor playoff game since the Super Bowl in 2006.

Since 2006 he has two playoff wins, a Super Bowl loss and 4 one and dones.

He’s a superb regular season QB, one of the greatest of all time, but he’s also one of the games greatest chokers, a dome babby and a guy who’s chief rival has 3 rings and 5 Super Bowl appearances.

Brad Johnson is a “proven champion”, Trent Dilfer is a “proven champion” by your logic.

If he had gone to their teams they would be a fawning and saying he’s the second coming of Joe Montana.
With only eight to ten top tier QB’s and thirty two teams that leaves a lot of bitter fans who suffer year in and out with their sub-par teams. It softens their pain a little to rag on a future Hall Of Farmer.

Sorry but doesn’t look like he has the physical stamina anymore to throw with strength and accuracy for a whole season and the playoffs as well. Too much damage to his neck and its definitely taken its toll on him.
