Peyton Manning is the worst quarterback to ever start a Super Bowl

Oh boy I will just leave this here.... Kind of hard to argue though.

Peyton Manning is not the reason the Denver Broncos beat the New England Patriots and made it all the way to Super Bowl 50. He's not the second reason. Or the third. Or, well, as it relates to any one individual's contribution, let's just say Denver's quarterback is happy to be along for the ride........

Manning has not thrown a pick in almost 10 quarters.

There is a chance that the "ghost benching" humbled him and got him on board with the program.

Plus, as J'no says, he is "P f'n M"

Add in his legacy and the fact that he is the only qb in history to lead two different teams to multiple super bowls and the hack that wrote this should go back to the blogosphere from which he came.

I honestly wonder who would win a game between 2 evenly matched teams with Trent Dilfer on one side and Jimmy Clausen on the other. I would give Dilfer a slight edge, but I think it would be close.

I have a hard time believing there will be another QB as limited as Dilfer that will ever again make a SB, let alone win one.

Dilfer only completed 12 passes for 153 yards and a TD in the 2000 Super Bowl. The Ravens thought so little of Dilfer they didn't even try to resign him after the SB when he became a free agent. Dilfer critiquing QBs now is irony at its finest. At least when he first started at ESPN, Dilfer at least had the decency to preface his critiques by stating the obvious about he could never perform at a high level, etc. As the years have passed, he has become more comfortable with just being called a SB winning QB.  Kind of like a lottery winner who forgets to mention that fact over time as he refers to himself as a multi millionaire. 

Peyton Manning at 45 will still be a more formidable QB threat than Dilfer. Brett Favre couldo wait a few more years and still outperform Dilfer in his "prime."

      Panther Needs (3/14): The Shift to Defense

      By shaq · Posted

      Darrell Jackson would be a fantastic pickup for us, I think he could replace 80% of what A’Shawn gave us last year. With more passing rush upside going forward in the future, I’m a big proponent of large framed defensive tackles. Pairing Derrick Brown with another 6’5 35inch arm length DT would be so fun to watch. Let’s continue being huge in the middle, allow our linebackers to flow to the ball uninterrupted.

      Fully agree that the best thing to do is ignore them, which takes a away their thrill of thinking they got to you.

      I agree with you on the pick of Thienemen in the first. I think he will still be there and he's a smart, fast and sturdy player. He's who we need back there. In the second, I like Rodriguez over Golday. I agree that off the ball linebackers are desperately needed here, even with our great FA pick up. I think with our third pick, we're going to dip into OT territory instead of the D-line. While I agree that we need another disruptor at the point of attack that is stout enough to just stonewall a center and a guard at the same time, we've got a shaky and expensive O-line at the present that is just about to age out of the game. I think we snag Blake Miller out of Clemson here and give him a year behind Moton to learn and put some weight and strength on. He can also jump right in and play right guard at any time. Also, and this might sound crazy, but anyone who has put up with multiple seasons at Clemson will be able to take the heat and humidity of training camp at the start of the season and early games against the NFCSouth.  Beyond that, your guess is as good as mine. We do need that QB for competition and realistically to study for back-up. Luke Altmyer out of Illinois seems to fit the mold of the point guard type QB that they want from Bryce. That'd make an apples to apples situation that could make coaching and game planning easy. On the other hand North Dakota State's Cole Payton could be an intriguing choice as well as a big dual threat guy. Both could be there for our fourth pick or both could be gone. Will QBs continue to slide this season like last? Who knows?
