Im dealing with FACTS, not speculation. 

Maybe if crybaby Elway had joined the Baltimore Colts, instead of throwing a tantrum, threatening to go to daddy Steinbrenner, he might have had 10 SB wins.

We could play this all day guys. 

Fact is, the greatest QB ever has never lost a SB.

Funny you say Elway was a crybaby coming from a Manning fan. Fact is Peyton hasn't won jack. Peyton is a fantasic qb, but saying he's the best to play the game is a bit of a stretch.

WHere did I say anything about Manning is the greatest ever? Only thing I said about Manning is his SB resume will begin this year.

I think it is very considerate of you guys to honor Danny Wuerffel like that. A tear to my eye. Sniffle.

Fact was that Montana was a system QB that had ungodly amounts of talent around him and the entire 49ers team succeeded.

Although Elway lost 3 Super Bowls, those teams never had any business being there in the first place. He did more with less than any other QB in the league, and is ahead of Montana in all statitistical categories including having the record for most wins and comebacks as a QB.

So what you are saying is John Elway went 2-3, by himself, without any talent around him. Yet, Montana had to rely on others to make him look good?

You can retire as many numbers as you want... just leave 55 for those that are on the team. :thumbsup: I think the number 16 should be reserved for some one deserving. I.E., a senior that has performed miraculously throughout his stay at UT.

I think the whole retiring numbers thing is stupid. If you want to honor past players, then create a "ring of honor" like the Cowboys or (gulp) Yankees have.

MANNING WEEKEND BEGINS WITH VOLS THURSDAY PRACTICE
Tickets Available for UT-South Carolina Game

Oct. 27, 2005


Manning Highlights | Coach Fulmer

Indianapolis Colts quarterback and former UT All-America Peyton Manning arrived in Knoxville Thursday and was a special guest of head coach Phillip Fulmer and the Vols during UT's 90-minute workout at Haslam Field. Manning spoke to the current squad after practice and reiterated what the coaching staff has been preaching.

"He talked about how tough times don't last but the tough people do," Fulmer said. "He did a good job of stressing how sticking together is important and all the things we've done as team. I haven't seen any lack of effort on this football team at all from anyone."

Manning is the second of three Vols having their numbers retired, with ceremonies slated for Saturday prior to kickoff of Tennessee's clash against South Carolina. Reggie White was honored before the Mississippi game and Doug Adkins will be recognized before the Nov. 19 contest against Vanderbilt.

"We're excited about having Peyton here this weekend," Fulmer said. "He's a Tennessee Volunteer through and through, he pulls for us every week and he's a great friend. He's an important part of our heritage and it's great we're honoring him here this weekend."

Manning will join the Vols in their 5:30 p.m. Vol Walk to Neyland Stadium prior to Saturday's 7:45 p.m. Eastern time kickoff.

The Vols concluded preparations for South Carolina on a positive note.

"I was really happy with our Thursday practice and the work we had," Fulmer said. "I'm looking forward to seeing how we play Saturday. As hard as we've been playing and with the effort we've had, we need to add great execution this week. And that's what we're going to try to do."

GO VOLS...... GO BIG ORANGE ...

Never said that, but Montana was a system QB who needed the system and players to work. He was a great QB, but didnt have the talent that Elway had.

Elway went to 3 Super Bowls that the broncos had no business being in, they lost them because they met superior NFC teams, but being there was great for the team that he had in the 80's.
