Oh please with the notion that Peyton's weapons were worse. That argument is poo with anyone that knows anything about football.

defense is a weapon far more important than any individual receiver, and the colts D is and has been awful

harrison, wayne etc. are/were good receivers with a great QB

nicks is a great receiver with a good QB

Peyton in his prime vs Eli in his prime.

Thats a no brainer, peyton.

Both have good receivers, but the Giants have a much better running game and defense for the last few years.

Right now though, well since Peyton might never play again, that one is easy. :)

I think its a no brainer in the regular season. First 9 games head to head in the playoffs. Theres a legit argument.

Peyton is in the convo for greatest regular season QB ever.

Eli is only 2/3 of the QB that Peyton was

You have got to realize, unlike Peyton, who was given free reign to mold a team the way he wanted. Eli is part of a franchise with some history. Unlike his brother, Eli has to be part of that legacy and not try to re-invent the wheel with the Giants.

I always felt Eli was equal to his brother but it's clear who the media choose and Eli had to play second fiddle.

Im talking about two QBs head to head, not the teams.

And there is no way you can just say Harrison, Wayne, and Clark were just some guys and Peyton made them great. Did Joe Montana make Jerry Rice great? Did Aikman make Irvin?

You know it is possible to have a great receiver and a great QB right?

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
