Peyton

[Mr. Scot]

When he retires, he will in all likelihood be generally acknowledged as the best QB ever. In truth, there's probably a fair amount of the football loving population that already believe it.

[Purity-Control]

Yeah, If I'm putting together a dream team I can't think of anyone else who I would put at QB.

Colt fans better enjoy the ride while it lasts.

[Mesmer]

Count me in. If you watched only Peyton Manning, you would think that playing defense was pointless and trivial.

[Scutty]

As good as he is ( and I would never publicly admit that lest by Colts loving son finds out) there is just something that bugs the poo out of me about him. Maybe it's because he is that good & I can't find fault

[Jangler]

I really hope he becomes a OC and then a HC.

[Johnny Rockets]

Anyone else get the feeling that PEyton runs that team more so than Caldwell?

[thejimmy]

I can't find anyone better. I look at the Colts and I see this:

1. A crap D.

2. A so-so O-line.

3. A pathetic run game.

4. Good receivers.

Add in the best QB ever and you get an undefeated team.

Montana had tons of talent around him. Bradshaw, the same. Peyton has himself.

I wish, wish, wish, wish we had a good QB.

Peyton as a coach "Dude, it's easy just look at them, adjust the play accordingly and let it fly. What's so hard to understand?"

[thefuzz]

Almost seems to be too much of a perfectionist to ever be able to coach. His QB's would have a very hard time playing up to the level that he would want them to.

That said.

This year he has a chance to put some of his skeletons away. He needs to win in the playoffs, and win another SB before he is granted GOAT...IMO.

He has struggled in the playoffs his entire career.

[thefuzz]

The SB thing is such a bullpoo measuring stick for QBs. There are so many things that go into a world championship team and the QB is just one piece. I know people do it but it still annoys me.

Jim Kelly was more than just a good QB.

Who said that he wasn't?

People are talking about Peyton being the best of all time. IMO he can achieve that status with some better play in the postseason either this or next year.

Montana is the GOAT, not just for his regular season play, but also for his post season play. Many mat go ahead and crown Peyton, but I am not there.....yet. Let him smoke through the playoffs this season, and at least get to the big game, and I will start considering him in GOAT talk.

[Purity-Control]

Anyone else get the feeling that PEyton runs that team more so than Caldwell?

I got that feeling with Dungy too.

But its Tom Moore, who I ask myself why is he even there, Peyton is QB/OC

What does he even do call run or pass, and Peyton picks the play, I would assume petyon has Veto power over anything offensively.

[cookinwithgas]

Can you imagine Manning getting cut by the Colts someday, then signing with say, the Jaguars so he can beat them twice a year?

I sure can't.

[thefuzz]

Nobody said he wasnt. I was making the point the Kelly was a great QB that had zero SB rings. If Peyton never gets another one it shouldnt cause people to think less of him. I just think the team achievement of winning a championship should have only a very small part in evaluating a QBs career.

Not saying that I will think less of him, but I will not be calling him the best of all time....sry.
