So...Having a 'Franchise QB' Doesn't guarantee a superbowl?

Have you seen the talent they keep plugging in around him? Give it up already.

Yes, but that talent has been injured all year.

The Colt's would be nothing without Peyton. Absolutely nothing.

Why do you insist on making a fool of yourself?

What talent? I saw Manning toss 11 interceptions in three games trying to overcompensate for the lack of talent around him. I also recall the Colts having one of the worst defenses in the league for multiple years in the 2000s and having the 32nd rushing attack last year. The owner and Polian got complacent with Peyton working some magic, that much was obvious when they stayed in-house with the coach.

We clearly have a different opinion on what constitutes talent.

yeah, Manning made the playoffs with Tamme and White, and Garcon who is legit.. with no running game until Rhodes came back to save the day..

I'd rather have one then not.

In the past 10 years, I can only think of two teams that didn't have a franchise QB that went onto win the SB (Tampa and Baltimore)

the rest: Manning(s), Roethlisburger, Brady, Brees, Warner

to add to that point, those 2 teams won around the same time, and before rule changes took place..

and to add to that, one of those teams had a defense the likes of which we may never see for a very long time, and the other one had a coach that just the year before was the head coach of their opponent

It's simple math, really. As long as there are more than 2 franchise QB's in the league there will be franchise QB's who are not in the Super Bowl. It's really not that complicated.
