Here's what I admire about Manning. His work ethic. His study habits. His longevity. His love of the game. The man has performed at a high level for a LONG, LONG, time.
Here's what I don't get and hate. Why is his playoff inadequacies are completely forgotten. Sorry, but if you can't even manage a .500 record in the most important part of the season, how can you even be considered as the GOAT........ ESPECIALLY when you have a contemporary (Tom Brady) who has excelled head and shoulders above you. 18-8 vs 11-12 is a significant stat. Tom Brady can lose his next TEN playoff games and he'd STILL have a better percentage than Manning.
If someone wants to say that Manning is the greatest regular season QB of all time, I'd have no problem with that description. Anything more than that is a strictly a media fabrication. You can't be the GOAT when there are a half dozen QB's most people would rather have playing in a big playoff game.
BTW- In both of Mannings superbowl losses, he had the ball with tjme and a chance to win and FAILED. In Brady's 2 superbowl losses, Brady not only led 4th quarter drives to take the lead in both; he never had a real chance to make that last drive.\
BOTTOM LINE: We SHOULD honor Manning for passing a significant milestone, but the asskissing media has made that impossible for me. I guess, I'm not the man I should be, but that's how I feel
