But apparently, theres a difference when Wilt Chamberlain ( who won 2 titles but was still called a loser), Donovan MCNabb, and Michael Vick dont win titles and when Petton Manning doesnt. In fact, going back through college i cant think of another example of a player who was so great but yet was such a miserable player in the biggest games. Even Barry Bonds had a good WS in 2002.
Ben Roethlisburger did more in 2005 than Manning has ever done.

that last sentence probably made every other pat fan in here with smarts laugh their ass off...quit being a hater ben had a defense and a total team effort throughout the playoffs along with breaks like Carson getting hurt...which sucked but it was still a break and he had the worst qb rating ever by a qb in the super bowl but still the TEAM won the game lol his wr's had to make the throws downfield for tds all he could do was dive at the endzone and come up short but still get the td called....lame get a life quit hating

He's the man.
Now, if he can't ever get over the hump and win a SB he'll simply be a better version of Marino when people look back on his career. But if he keeps playing the way he's played this season, I think the SB is a realistic goal for the Colts.
Manning is playing lights out.
And I hate the guy, so I say all of that grudgingly, but it's true.

and why do you hate the guy? reasons please because well he hasn't taken out your team in the playoffs....reasoning? brady is friends with manning....reasoning please for hating him or are you just jealous of his accomplishments like the 49 tds etc

And this "awhile" is all relative to how you view time i guess. I look at a whole body of work, not two regular season games. I know we live in a NOW NOW society, but im just saying, lets give Brady, Belichick, and the Patriots some slack, they have, and continue to accomplish a lot, and will continue to do so.
Now if a similar type game happens when the two meet in January thats a different story.

I think manning was something like 22 of 29 for 280 yards and td and 0 ints vs the steelers and when it mattered in the 4th quarter down 10 to 21 he drove them down the field for a td and got the 2 pt conv and then when they got the ball back he drove them down the field, took a shot at the td when in good indoor fg position and then let the kicker come out to do his part to get them to OT....and he didnt do that....sorry but not every team has had a reliable mr clutch Adam V to come out and make the kicks time and time again...where would brady be if adam missed the tying fg vs the raiders in the tuck rule game???? who knows
you are so dumb |
