Enough is enough. Peyton Manning is the greatest QB of all time.

I still think he will win at least 1 more SB and possibly cement himself as the GOAT, but I have to bump him down a few notches after last nights performance. Those are the consequences.Comment

This thread is good shit.
Solid points from all sides, and the usual idiots have either stayed away, or been scared away when both sides pounce on them and chase them off.
Good work, boys.Comment

Did someone seriously say they'd rather have Warren Moon then Peyton Manning? I dont know how I opened this thread and it was conveniently right on that post, but as it relates to that comment...
BAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHAH!Comment

WR: Clayton, Duper, Ingram, Fryar, McDuffie come to mind as good players he played with, bt no HOF caliber guys unless you stretch things with Fryar.Comment

We also got a I'd rather have George Blanda than Peyton Manning too.... :bolt:Comment

And he was serious too. Because he spent like 4 more posts defending him.
Blanda could kick field goals. Manning can't.
Blanda > Manning.Comment

I'll meet you in the middle and say Wayne slipped, Porter made a great read, no doubt but if Wayne makes a cleaner break Porter can't jump that route as easily and it may end up as collision and incompletion.
More disagree than agree...Yeah Peyton can control the offense all he wants but he still has to depend on people doing their job within that offense and being where they are supposed to be when they are supposed to be there.
And to flip that around...Do we then have to take more credit away from QB's who don't have the offense control that Peyton has and are more "system" QB's of other people's system when Peyton essentially has his own system that he runs?
I think it really muddles up the situation with Manning playing the game a bit differently than most QB's. Is it the WR's fault they run the wrong pattern because they got confused with the complex audible scheme and/or didn't hear it? Is it the RB's fault they had a poor game because Manning chose to opt to run at the wrong times or not as often? This is where you would judge the coaching staff, not the QB.
I don't agree that you can hold it as a negative to a QB that doesn't do it, because they are out there being a QB which is all that is expected and what we are judging them on, being a QB. Manning is a QB and OC at the same time, which is an impressive addition to what he does but I don't believe we can hold it against a QB for not playing OC at the same time just because Manning does it.
It's a tough thing to look at and I'm really not sure how to conclude here.
What would Manning have to do, to qualify as greater than all, between now and the end of his career. Does he need to accomplish more, or just continue to play at a high level without accolades or titles.Last edited by killgod; 02-08-2010, 01:13 PM.Comment

I went back to NFL.com and checked the stats and Favre actually dropped his INT percentage to 3.2% with his performance this season. If he plays another 5 years, he will have a lower INT percentage than Manning...lolComment

Play at a high level and win another title, which I think he'll do. But I'll always view Unitas as the GOAT, same as Jim Brown(no matter how many RBs pass him).Last edited by jeffx; 02-08-2010, 01:37 PM.Comment

Tough to say because there are obviously a lot of unknown variables but generally speaking that's kind of what I'm thinking.Comment
