Re: Bob Cryin: Manning is the better QB
...Man, I gotta agree with 'Joker'. Until Polian won his case with the competition committee and had the Pat's secondary handcuffed with the 'Manning Rule' (no mugging receivers after 5 yards), Peyton had all kinds of grief dealing with the Pats. Polian has had an ax to grind for years and done everything he could (and can) to knock down the Pats. His team couldn't do it on the field, so he did it off field. Brady has worked with a collection of misfits and castoffs for receivers (anybody heard from Branch? How about Caldwell? What about Patten once he went to NO?...) almost his entire career, and made them work. Manning has had a luxury existence for a QB. Before we pass judgement on who's better, let's see what Manning does under the same circumstances that Brady's performed under, otherwise - they're both in the same argument and are equal. Nonetheless - if I had my druthers - I'd still pick Brady any time any day.
well..Brady played under rules that were in effect for FORTY YEARS...since the Willie Brown/Jack Tatum/Lester Hayes days...the only thing outlawed was stickum...then AFTER Peytie Pouter LOST time and again to defenses that knocked his receivers off their blocks, Polian, using his clout on the rules committee, changed the passing rules four straight years in a row until they are what they are TODAY....custom made for Peyton's game and designed and pushed through and implemented by Bill Polian.
Therefore, even though Peyton Manning is NOW the best QB in the NFL, it really doesn't mean anything to anybody who's been a fan for a long period of time....as ANYONE saw...he couldn't play under the rules that truly great QB's like Montana,Young,Aikman,Bradshaw or Brady...in fact, he couldn't even approximate a Trent Dilfer.
So bang the cow bell, Dolt fan and har-yuck and knee slap your way down to the Hog Heaven Jamboree singing Camptown Races - Doo Dah...finally, your Paid-To-Fix-The-Rules-ning is number 1
