Ive thought about it and honestly think the smartest QBs would make great defensive QBs. The amount of film they study and their ability to identify tendencies would potentially be a scary combination. I don't know if there's any evidence of this but i thought about it after watching Romo predict plays regularly before they happen.

Yup. Younger fans may not realize it too, but throwing for 4,000 yds alone was a big deal then- but Manning made it look normal. The game was different and wasn't as pass friendly.

And choke in the playoffs. He went one and done an NFL record 9 I repeat 9 times!!

@@marckellough529 yeah it's crazy how bad he was in the playoffs. Tbf though he couldn't even rely on anybody bailing him out like a game saving defensive or special teams play

@@mohnjarx7801 The main problem was his offense wasn't scoring that many points in the playoffs. Let's face it he was only productive in the regular season

@@marckellough529 Look at the injuries on the defense backing him up most of those years. And look at the "meh" defenses he carried. His defenses were so bad for so many of those "1 and done" years. He sucked in a few of them yes, but you can't say he had backup on the other side. And you see what he did to Tom Brady's teams in AFC Championship games after he actually got an above average defense behind him. Eli Manning got carried to 2 SB's by his defense, and Peyton got carried to 1 of his 2 wins by his. Defense wins championships bro.

I'm a Ravens fan, and my favorite Manning story, and the one that showed me who the greatest was between Manning and Brady happened during the Raven's last superbowl run. Ray had announced at the start of the playoffs that he was retiring at the end of the season. When the Ravens beat the Patriots in the playoffs, Tom Brady pouted and ran off the field without shaking anybody's hand. When the Ravens went into Denver and beat them with the Mile High Miracle, an absolutely crushing way to lose, Peyton gathered up his family and waited outside the Raven's locker room for 2 hours just to be able to talk to Ray and thank him for the great competition over the years. Think about that. You just get beat in the playoffs as you are getting towards the end of your career and that might have been your last shot. You get beat in miraculous fashion by a play that had nothing to do with you. Your season is now over and while everybody on your team is completely bummed out, you sit outside the winning team's locker room listening to them celebrating for 2 whole hours just to show respect to one of your greatest opponents who you will no longer be able to play against. Pure class. The GOAT forever in my opinion after that. It's not just about super bowl rings and records. There is another part of it that makes you the greatest.

@@117Chief930 exactly 🤍💙

@@117Chief930 didn't know that story, thank you for sharing it(Ray is a legend). Just another notch in the great career of Peyton. Like you said, when Brady loses(especially to someone he doesn't consider his equal) he runs of the field pouting and not shacking anyone's hand. Peyton always congratulated the other team and showed what a class act is. I'm sure it hurt him just as much as Tom to lose but that's no reason to act like a man baby. Handle it with class, you were the better man/team this day so congratulations and I'm looking forward to seeing you next year.

He also sexually assaulted a woman in college

@@117Chief930 Almost true. Peyton threw that ugly pic in Denver's own territory that led to JT's field goal. So... Peyton definitely lost that game for Denver lolz.

I think id even put Peyton as the number 2. That game against the Pats when the Colts came back 24 points in 2 minutes to win that game. Holy shit, talk about a career defining game.

If football was viewed as an individual sport like baseball, he'd be the flat out goat. Other than super bowls he accomplished more than even Tom brady.

Top 10 def but not top 3. His playoff record and stats take him out

Top ten, but not even close to top three. Not enough grit, not enough championships. One of his rings was won in spite of him. In the lower half of the top ten for sure. Even in his generation he is far outranked by both Brady and Rodgers, whose stats weren't padded by playing in a dome. Manning is closer to Brees than he is Brady or Rodgers, the other great dome quarterback of the 2000s and 2010s.

He’s the best QB ever. Brady is the best winner. Brady had better teams, more complete teams, but Manning was JUST better. It’s great to hear people talk of their rivalry without speaking of the actual teams.

i remember watching it, from MA not really a football fan, but dang the defense was horrible in that second half.

I am jealous that game hands down probably still the best nfl game I ever watched

On one hand, the Pats had no business being in that game to begin with, it was all Brady. On the other, it was in the bag. All they had to do with hang on and the Pats take another Super Bowl since the Bears were a weak opponent. It was both lucky to be there and choke job for the Pats.

Totally agree. There's one problem tho. Tom Brady is still in the league

At ages 43 & 44 Brady has thrown an astronomical 10,000 yards and 93 TD's and led the league in TD's, Completions and Yards last season - At age 38 - Manning threw 134 yards, 0 TD's and 1 INT and his defense bailed him out in his last game and SB .. At age 40 Brady threw a SB record 505 yards 😂 Manning was in his prime and was 1 and out in the playoffs a horrific 9 times - lost a SB 43-8

Highly disagree with the statement that he broke the TD record with a noodle arm. His arm was still very strong in 2013. If anything he really just fell off a cliff in 2015.

@@mpp0919 Even in his Super Bowl run and win in 2006 he was below average - in 4 playoff games he only threw for a grand total of 3 TD's and a whopping 7 INT's .

Arch Manning his nephew.

Tom did it better. Montana said the same.

@@markusavonbergen7751 nobody asked pal

Montana had the nerve, Brady was right places right time, but Manning had the brains.

Ridiculous statement

How so? The INSTANT the defense threw his receivers off their routes, and the timing got disrupted, he was mediocre, at best...

@@tgriffin3059 That literally happens to every QB that has played in NFL. QB's throwing to Wide receivers is a connection and timing base thing. So if the receiver is thrown off his route or runs the wrong route, the QB is going to suffer from that.

@@Silent_Hybrid Yeah...that was kind of the point, Sherlock. Because modern defense is so soft, guys get to throw to more wide open receivers. So hard workers like Manning and Brady develop great rapport with their guys, from spending so much time together in practice. Thus, when you get to the actual game, they could make many of those throws blind-folded. BUT THAT'S NOT FOOTBALL!!! Back when they played actual defense, qbs had to have some instincts and tenacity and toughness. When you play football against actual coverage, you may have to wait for a guy to get open. Or you may have to gamble on a throw where the guy doesn't have the separation you'd prefer. All that means that, first, you're going to get hit a lot more often, because you can't always get rid of the ball right away. And second, your stats won't look nearly as pristine. Nobody completes 75% of his passes when he's playing against a real defense. And these things still apply, when the defense plays well. It's just that today's defenses generally can't shut people down like the old ones, because the rules make it much harder. For instance, when Brady missed out on his undefeated season, the Giants played one of the greatest defensive games in history. But I PROMISE you, if it was best out of 7, like baseball or basketball, there's no WAY they could have done that more than once. The Patriots would have won easily, probably 4-1. Same with New England, when they got their first ring, against the Rams...you could see how tired they were by the fourth quarter of that game. Their defense was dead on its' feet. In a series, they'd have lost. But for ONE GAME...they had enough. Barely. Brady, Manning, Brees....they made their name in this modern league with stats, coasting on easy rules. None of them would have made it in the 70's or 80's, or MOST of the 90's...

no way AP had the best rushing season of the decade

@@keidrinwilliam3085 He did. And the Vikings squeaked in to the wild card with 10 wins and Manning led the Broncos to 13 wins and home field advantage. If you replace Peterson with Manning, who wins more games? The answers Peyton Manning, which makes him more valuable.

@@chicagodude8888 Of course it's easier for a QB to win MVP of the league, that position has the most impact of any position on winning games in any sport besides the pitcher in baseball. Hence why the Cy Young award is separate from the MVP. A.P. had every right to win MVP in 2012 when you look what he dragged to the playoffs, especially given a half decent QB. As for 2005, the MVP should've been cut into 5 pieces for the Seahawks O-Line, with the 2 biggest pieces going to Hutch & Walter.

@@slimypickle19 So then why would a running back who granted, had a year for the ages deserve the award over Peyton Manning, who's more impactful and immediately turned a below average Bronco team to 13 games and home field advantage, with the great efficiency and the A/NYA plus leader of the NFL? The best statistic to evaluate a quarterbacks performance. What Peterson did was amazing but put Peterson on the Broncos and Manning on the Vikings, who wins more games? The left side of that Seattle o-line was the best I've seen in my life. There's only one MVP and you can make a very compelling case for Manning over Alexander. Mouris Morris could've put up 1,500 yards behind that brick wall. Tomlinson was deserving of his 06 MVP so no argument on my part there.

Nah AP 2012 season was legendary he had more rushing yards than ponders passing yards in alot of games they played in 2012.

I actually think Peyton had too much power and brains for his own good. His offensive coordinators were always patsies. There was never some brilliant creative guy on the other end of that mic telling Peyton “nah listen to me I got an idea”

I watched every game he played with the Broncos and he was AMAZING with his ball placement. Greatest QB ever

Those mid to late 2000s Colts games were a thing of beauty. The NFL isn't the same without him.

It was awesome to watch him, but so painful all of the times he fell apart in the post season. Drove me nuts.

@@Starlesslight he didn't fall apart much. His passer ratings in the last playoff losses with the Colts was 90 plus. His play in the playoffs was right where it usually was against winning teams in the season. The problem was how much the Colts relied on his play to win. Brady can go out there throw 2 tds to 3 ints against the Chargers and the Pats could still win by 2 scores. Peyton could play the same chargers throw 3 tds to 2 ints and lose to a last minute smashmouth drive by the chargers who lost their probowl QB and mvp calibre RB during the game.

Mostly true. The colts were a dropped pass from the Super Bowl and they lost the 1995 AFC Championship game on a dropped Hail Mary in a game they played better in vs the Steelers.
