From Howard: Peyton's brain gives Colts the edge - NFL- nbcsports.msnbc.com
"Manning processes more information more quickly than any other QB"
Not sure to what degree this is true; but if it is true, he is like a chess grand master. He can devise a plan of attack on the fly whereis other QBs (TB included) lean heavily on coaches to devise the plays. There were several games the Colts would score 4,5, 6 TDs in successive possessions, I guess there seems to be some truth to this. What do you guys think?
"Manning processes more information more quickly than any other QB"
“There are so many answers to how Peyton does it on the fly, but I’ll give you the best one,” says former NFL and Super Bowl-winning quarterback Trent Dilfer, now a terrific analyst for ESPN. “He consumes, processes and delivers probably 10 times more info than any other quarterback in the league. There are a lot of other guys that handle a lot, but nobody like Peyton Manning. On every play he may come to the line with a two- or three-play call sequence, and another catalogue of plays behind that if he still doesn’t like what he sees. His brain is like a mad scientist’s. In the moment of truth, he’s able to process that enormous amount of information and dumb it down to its barest essence and then execute. It’s incomprehensible to me, but in that moment he can reduce the game to its very simplest and say, ‘I’ll take on this guy. Take this shot. Get this completion here’ — whatever he needs.”
