I want Brady to quarterback the New England Patriots...
When Football history is written who will attain the better accolades?? My guess would be Peyton and he will be labelled the greatest QB of all time, the 4 letter network will perpetuate this myth.
Not Peyton at all. I'd say, in ten years, he will be somewhere higher than Brett Favre but not mentioned in the same breath as Brady, Montana, Unitas, and Graham. When you talk about the greats of each generation, those are the guys. If Brady wins even one more ring, it'll be a slam dunk.
Peyton is Marino with a ring. Yeah, he's got a ring, but his playoff performance over his career is pretty abysmal. He's a stats guy (a cumulative stats guy at that) and those guys never get the love over the course of history that the champions get.
You also have to account for his pedigree and three names of Manning help with the fantasy... we will see.
Maybe you are right though when you do a quick google search of Manning you get 32,300,000 hits and when you google Brady you get 98,000,000 not that that means all that much... but those are a lot of references to a name.
why do we talk about this manning guy on here any differently than other good QB's? Surely he is not on the same level as our QB, TB12. It's almost unjust to Brady's accomplishment to compare him to Manning because Brady frankly has accomplished more where it counts, win and win the big ones.
Manning is a great QB that is breaking records because of situation and longetivity. Other QB's that have played long had records before him as well. Just volume. Manning has had variables in his favor, teams built around him (Indy), played in domes, and convince his organization to give him reign on a pass first offense which is great in a controlled dome. Then he inherited a team in DEN that had the pieces except a QB and they too were willing to give him control to achieve.
What Brady has done is more with less, and more effectively.
IMO, if my job is to win, and I do it better than anyone else, it would be disrespectful to me for my boss ( in this case fans) to go compare me to they guy that has been on the job longer and hasn't done as well as me but is flashy about it.
Brady not in same conversation as Manning.
Anyone remember Dan Fouts?
Beside the things you listed above, Manning also had the NFL realign him into a more Peyton friendly all expansion 4 team division. The skids couldn't have been greased any more for him than they were. As it turned out, it ended up blowing up in his forehead when he made the playoffs so often but kept going one and out. He and Archie probably never saw Brady coming either. I almost feel bad for them. Okay, that last line isn't true.
"He'll want to hold all the records..." except the meaningful one it would appear.
That is the difference between Tom Brady and Peyton Manning: one wants the records, the other wants the rings.
Sadly, no such rule exists now in the NFL. . . . Although maybe Brady could adopt Garoppolo.
what a turd...lost all respect for him now. What a complete and utter loser
Manning should be celebrated as one of the NFL's all time greats. Manning should not be celebrated as the Greatest of All Time because his post-season record demands so.This whole thread is garbage. I do not believe you will find one single player in the NFL that would not take a superbowl ring over 'all the records' -- and Manning has one of those. There is nothing wrong with challenging one's self to be the best whether you are competing for a championship or already eliminated. While he will not talk about it, Brady will break as many of Manning's records as he can -- that's what competitive people do.
Manning is playing one more year because he wants to play football and believes he can be competitive -- competitive on the field and in the record books. People should simply appreciate this person who has played a challenging game at the highest level for a very long time. It's very impressive.
I was lurking around the Broncos message board sometime beginning of this week, and this rumor was going around the Rocky mountains already. I think Rapaport just the first to announce the rumor nationally.
I'm not surprised by this at all, if its true. Im starting to believe PM really on the decline, esp after watching the Broncos the last 3 weeks. I think its really gonna show if JT and Sanders really misses some time.

Are cummulative stat records impressive to anyone? I understand if you went after a record that wasn't cummulative in nature but most touchdown passes doesn't mean much compared with something like best TD to INT ratio or best W/L record. Cummulative can just mean you've played a ton of years without much injury and had good teammates consistently. Nothing about that screams great to me.
Yeah, people are making excuses for Manning last week, but he had an entire half with Sanders before he was injured and the Broncos couldn't score. He seems to have starting to throw mostly short passes and his deeper balls were really bad floaters in the dome. I wonder at his age his arm is going dead on him as the season goes on. That happens to a lot of older QBs especially on a team that throws so much.
