I realize that the Colts have played 3 High School teams, and that with guys like Wayne and Clark, who couldn't be sucessful...but the guy really looks confident and in control. I won't "buy in" until the team gets back to the promised land, but he's starting to play like a wise old Elway.

I think Manning is definitely better with age.
He has zero weaknesses now.
Basically, a perfect pocket QB, even in 4th quarter or clutch situations.
You can't fool or rattle him like we used to be able to in 2003 or 2004.

Luckily for us, his contract is so enormous that his team will never be serious contenders anymore.

I co-sign this thread.

What's even more impressing is that he's doing it with a 6th rd. Division III and a 4th round white mormon as his #2 and #3 wide recievers.

WEAPONS!!!

Thats overstated. He has all that he needs with Wayne and Clark. The rest is just gravy. He is a damn good QB. No debating that.

Manning has always been the best regular season QB of this era and one of the best of all time.

His Weakness is the playoffs. He has a 7-8 lifetime record with an 85 QB rating (10 points lower than his career regular season avg) his post season TD/INT ratio sucks and he's lost in the first round 6 times.

Compare that with other SB Champion future HOF QBs who played in this decade. Favre, Aikman(already HOF), and Brady. All have winning playoff records and playoff QB ratings and TD/INT ratios that are basically the same as the regular season. Also true of borderline HOFers Warner and Roethlisberger.

IF Manning played in the playoffs like he does in the regular season he would already have 4 rings instead of one.

Garcon is a beast of a rookie. I would love to see him on the other side of Moss. Don't sell your receivers short.

Hey Kerry, you suck!

I would say the majority of teams have a legitimate #1 WR and TE threat, so moot point.

That was probably true prior to the 2003 season, but come on now, we're going on like 7 years. During that span, Manning's QB rating in the postseason is right on par with his regular season QB rating. Let's start pointing fingers elsewhere for the Colts 7-8 postseason record.

It doesn't make much since when bradys PS rating is 88 with a 14-3 record and Manning's is 85 with a losing record. Can you explain that? Maybe the difference is Vinatieri and Vanderjagt, maybe?

Not selling our young WR's short......just heard for so many years how Manning is the product of his weapons, when in fact, it is the other way around..
