If Peyton was the QB this year with the same system and players, would the season have been any different? If so, what kind of impact would it have made? A telling thought I think.

He had te best record in the pros, got hurt and the se team had the worst record. We would be much better.

The experienced Peyton of today or the Peyton that had a fairly average collegiate career of the past? I feel like both would have struggled due to our WR issues.

If Bray were the q.b. this season, we would have won the games against Florida & UGA. All we needed in those games was one or two big plays by a q.b.

Worley & Peterman didn't give us those big plays to give us the edge to win. Bray would have!!!!!!!

He lost the heisman, broke some school and conference records, and won an SEC title, that's pretty average. Peyton is a vol great no doubt and will go down as one of the best if not THE best in NFL history but he didn't make quite the splash in college as he has in the NFL.

a fairly average career.what a joke!!!!! was it great no.but to call it average is a disgrace.maybe if chavis and the defense would have stayed away from the mustang package and get agressive he could have had a great career.

Do you understand what records are? If you break records, how does that make you average? You're right, though. He was only runner-up for the Heisman, so that's pretty mediocre.

You can play the what ifs all you want.....

What if Nu'Keese never bought a BB gun?

What if Mike Hamilton had never been born?

What if Digital Underground had more than one hit.

I agree.

An average college quarterback is almost always a four year starter in the top football conference in college. Nearly all of them are projected as the No. 1 overall draft pick after their junior year only to return for their senior year despite that fact and STILL get drafted number one in the next draft. That's average.

The SEC player of the year is nearly always average.

Back in the day, just about any quarterback finished Top 10 in the Heisman voting THREE TIMES!! And was the front runner for a whole season only to be hosed by a media backlash. That's average for sure.

In fact, isn't the Davey O'Brien Award given to most average quarterback in college football? Must be, because Peyton won it.

If you honestly think he "didn't make quite the splash in college" then you were either not yet born or just not paying attention. Peyton Manning was absolutely one of the hottest names in college football at the time. He brought more national attention to the UT program than any player had in a generation if ever.

I can see calling him overrated . . . But average? Even if you think he is overrated, you have to concede he was a top 20 college QB of all time instead of a top 5 QB.
