If anything, only getting 1 SB when you had Manning for that long should be a negative on his legacy, just like it was for the Saints to only get 1 with Brees and the Packers to only get 1 each with Favre and Rodgers.

I know it's hard to win a SB, but these are basically 4 of the 10 best QB's of all time and combined to win 4 SB's in a combined 60 seasons worth of being a starting QB for those franchises.

Idk maybe. Guys like Favre, Rodgers, Brees also only having 1 kinda takes the heat off the Colts only getting 1 with Manning. And none of those QBs had to deal with the Pats dynasty or Steelers/Ravens mini-dynasties (no they are not dynasties but both those teams were in the mix pretty much every year in the AFC and both won 2 SBs in Manning’s career). Honestly think if the Manning Colts were in the NFC they’d have won 2-3.
 

An elite QB is a big deal but you still have to build a team around them. They could’ve been like the Dolphins with Marino.

few years back i was big into fantasy football and was in 12 leagues. i kept up with everything and was following people on twitter from every team just to make sure i was on top of everything. one of the people i followed was irsay, not for the news, but because after 1pm he got really entertaining. figured that was when he started tying one on. 

it was pretty well know that he was an addict. likely that his death was tied to that. he's overdosed at least once to the point that his heart stopped. too bad he couldn't stop it.

i was addicted i guess. i was commish of 2 of them. one of them had two conferences and didn't just have defensive players, but special teams, coaches, OL...just about everything. 24 total teams. draft clock was 6 hours because it was people all over the world. took forever. league was called the Psycho Ward.

i was in 2 defensive only player leagues. had to keep it creative.

the 2 conferences in the Psycho Ward were basically independent leagues with their own draft. you would play two games a week. one game would be against your own conference and the other game would against the other conference. so if you had Payton Manning on your team, you could also be playing against him in the game against the other conference.

    • Also, just for clarity, is this thread meant for general discussion of Bryce Young, or discussion of General Bryce Young?  
    • The word I feel most comfortable using as a descriptor is "inconsistent". Haven't really seen anyone disagree with that. Consistency being one of the things I value most in a player, that makes me lean toward moving on. But he does still have both time and opportunity to prove otherwise. Mind you, having a streaky quarterback isn't exactly a new thing in Charlotte (you could argue it's been the norm). Delhomme was notorious for starting slow but finishing strong. He could sadly also find hos way into ruts that were difficult to crawl out of. Newton, on the other hand, was often known to start hot but fade late (the vast majority of the 2015 season followed that pattern) though it could be argued that was a team pattern as much as it was Cam's.  There are definitely some fans for whom this is always going to be a bridge too far. (or too short) Realistically, it's not impossible that he could still have a good career even with those issues. It's a damn sight more difficult, though. And arguably, less likely.
    • Oh, I did, and they weren't based in emotions either. Granted, characterizing them that way gives you an easy out to avoid responding to them. Similar tactic to dismissing the other guy's points with "nah, you didn't really watch the games" which saves you having to debate what he said. Strikes me as a kinda lazy way to go, but hey both elements are still back there if you feel up to trying later.
