if he wins. no doubt

Cut that meat! Cut that meat!

No chance in hell the stat whore leaves Favre with the all time TD record. He plays until he owns every single record and then him and archie will create a museum for him.

Idk how smart he was but he makes me think of Montana. Maybe it was all Bill Walsh idk but he seemed to always know where to go and make it happen against great defenses. Particularly the Bears.

Here's my question about Peyton Manning

I understand hes a legendary quarterback and his ability to read defenses probably makes them the best or one of the best ever


Is he the first guy that ever figured out defense so well to be able to change plays at the line?

I'm not even being sarcastic I don't remember any stories of anyone else

I know they've always talked about guys being able to read the defences but it just seems so prolific with Manning

Is he that much better/smarter?


Yesterday it seemed like he got a receiver wide open whenever he needed it

Is he gonna be the best OC ever?

I know these guys are wired a little differently than Joe 6 packs like myself, but say he does retire with a SB win this year. Why would you ever want anything to do with football anymore? Generational wealth, relative youth and in his case, at least decent health,why the fuck would you want to devote anymore time to this game and have to be somewhere? fuck , Mr Mom it , enjoy your money and your kids, sleep in, play golf, get fat and cash the dividend checks.

I don't remember any QB having the independence in play calling that Manning has.

I think he's been his own OC for the past five years or so. Ever since that long time OC in Indy left. By that point no new hire OC was going to be more qualified to run the Indy offense than manning.

I don't think this is him alone being able to lead an offense the way he does, but it's obviously a strong suit of his. Also before his physical issues, his arm strength was good, if not great.

Didn't a lot of them call their own plays in the 70's early 80's?

Yeah I'm not saying he always relied in craftiness but my god, is he the only qb to ever read a blitz?

Well it's more than just recognition right. It's deconstructing an entire coverage scheme, to the extent where you know what everyone's role on the defense is in that particular pre snap look, then hitting them in their blind spot once the play starts. And also being good enough to make a play if you end up being wrong in the diagnosis.

Manning retires, Broncos don't have a QB next year.

Manning should go into politics. He'd be great at it, just as he would anything.

Tebow.
