First I wasn't talking about the Superbowl he lost. Losing a Superbowl doesn't really enhance your legacy any. You don't think of Dan Marino as any better of a QB because he lost to the '9ers do you? So yeah, I wasn't talking about his '09 year at all or about his postseason career as a whole. Just '06.
Anyways, yes, he had 247 yards 1 td, 1 int. But that touchdown and quite a bit of yards came from a blown coverage that I already mentioned. Reggie Wayne was wide open. So aside from that, like I said, he was mediocre and they won that game with defense and a running game. Kelvin Hayden had a score, Dominic Rhodes had over 100 yards and was more deserving of the MVP imo. He did have a good half against the Patriots but it doesn't erase his play in those other games.
So when you talk about Manning finally getting a Superbowl and that enhancing his legacy you don't think about how poorly he played prior to that point and how the defense had to bail him out of a few games. You just think that he has that Superbowl.
