Peyton Manning

I don't think I've ever seen the words "Marino" and "scramble" in the same sentence. :D


I didn't say he was really good at it, I just said he was better than Manning. LOL
 
I think we could probably match them up in a race and time it with a sun dial.

Marino could scramble a whole heck of a lot better than Manning. Marino could throw the ball more precise than Manning. Marino will always be better than Manning.
Maybe early in his career, but the post Achilles injury Marino may have been the most immobile QB of all time.

Marino could out scramble Manning TODAY !!!!

Yeah, real choker. That's the first playoff field goal he's missed. I guess it was him who threw the ball to Ty Law about a hundred times in the playoffs two years ago and I guess he's the reason the Jets shut them out in '02 and I guess he's the reason they couldn't score a meaningful TD against the Patriots last year. You're right, the Colts would be a dynasty if it weren't for the most accurate kicker in NFL history.
OK, smart aleck.....The kicker is the one guy that practices what he does more than anyone else...How does he miss that kick? It was a chip shot, any other kicker in the NFL would hit that....Peyton was the one that game them the chance to get that close, after the fact that Bettis fumbled it, he all but handed Vanderjagt the game to win....But since you're oh so knowledgable we'll take your words for it :moon2:

Since you have to critique everything that I post.......let me clarify what I meant so you can understand it. Manning can break every single record that Marino had, but he will never throw the ball as well as Dan Marino did. Does that explanation satisify you? :rolleyes:

Not particularly. I just wanted clarification on the fact that Dan played for the Dolphins made him better, and I got it.

What about Bob Griese? He won a Super Bowl and all.

No one was comparing Manning to Griese is this thread. :rolleyes:
 
Ya don't say.

He played for the Dolphins, plus he won the SB, I figured he was a top 5 QB of all time.

Are you serious? I didn't know that! *sarcasm*

I never said that Marino was the best QB of all time, much less Griese. I just said he was better than Manning. :moon2:
 
I'll agree Marino is probably better than Manning right now, this point in their careers... but it's a little silly to say, whatever Manning does, that he'll never be better than Dan, eh?

No it isn't silly at all, it's reality. :biggrin2:
 
I think he made all 14 kicks at home and led the league with 87% good. That said, the team lost not any one individual.

A 46 yarder is a chip shot? So, by that logic, anything inside of 60 yards is easy. That's interesting to know, since the league record is 63 yards. Given that 46 is a chip shot, I can't believe someone hasn't hit from 70 yet.

While no 46 yarder is a chip shot, he made like 93% of his kicks overall, was on his home field and in a dome. The circumstances could've been a lot tougher. His % during playoffs drops to around 72% which isn't bad but it's it's a drastic drop from what he and the Colts are used to from him.

Bottom line, the Colts lost for a lot of reasons. The kick at the end was just a cherry on top.

I agree. I was just about to compare PM to Elway. Maybe it will take a while before he wins championships. Remember Elway couldn't do it by himself. He needed a great supporting cast. That's what worries me about the Colts' situation. Maybe players like Edgerin James have no more motivation and will leave instead of signing a new contract.

Manning is never going to get a better supporting cast than the one he has now in Indy. Look at who Elway had early in his career and you will see that Elway was the whole offense for his first 11 years in Denver.

To those who are not the arm chair qb'ing pessimists: Peyton easily be 6-6 in the playoffs after next season. I believe he can do it. Who's with me? He still has alot of years left.

Right...no Edge, no Vanderjagt, and that O-Line who just loved being thrown under the bus by Peyton...see how much protection he gets next year.

I see your points but it seems your agenda is to discredit Peyton. I will always admire Peyton even if he never wins another game. Oh by the way, in case academics means anything to you, he graduated from college with better than a 3.5. Now, that's a A in case you don't know. :dunno: Well rounded young man=Peyton Manning. Now, where is Steve Spurrier, oh thats right, he couldn't make it as a pro qb or coach.Oh well.Be sure to pull for Al Wilson and the Broncos this weekend a well as Demetrin Veal.(both UT boys).

Actually a 3.5 is a B+, 4.0 is an A.

Second, what was his degree in??? Communications??? Yes, I am extremely impressed now...
 
Yeah...that's all good. But what a stupid statement! Regardless of education.

What ever happened to just plain ole common sense. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER complaint about those that protect your ass!

Plain & simple quit whining.

I would be curious to know what your comments would be after Joey Porter and the rest of the defense planted you into the ground many times.
 
Sounds like some of the same who dog out Fulmer for using platitudes and not calling out coaches and players get bothered when PM briefly talked his line not performing well.

Please pick a position and stick with it. :nener:

What did you expect Peyton to major in? Law? He was a lock to be good in the NFL. Communications makes sense to me since he might want to call games after his career is over.
