Manning may be the best QB I've ever seen play the game.


Meh. Rodgers might be the best pure player at the QB position I've seen, but its a team game.

Thing with Peyton is his outings in the playoffs. Its like in college when he never beat UF. He didn't just lose to UF, he absolutely stunk it up.

Same thing in the playoffs.

- lost in 2005 div round as #1 seed to 6th seeded Steelers in Big Ben's 2nd season
- lost in 2007 to Chargers with Billy Volek as QB in div round
- lost to Jets in 2010 in WC round at home
- lost to Ravens this year.

Could go on and on. I mean if it happened once or twice, it could be a blip. Could be the team. But hes consistently had maddening performances in the playoffs.

I don't get it.

FWIW his QB rating was actually higher than Brady's in the playoffs prior to last weekend. And at least one of those losses you site the only difference between winning and losing is a missed kick. Brady drives his team in range for a last second field goal and Vinatieri hits it = Brady is super clutch and a winner!!!! Manning drives his team in range for a last second field goal and Vanderjagt shanks it = Manning sucks in the playoffs and is a terrible loser!!!!

I'd actually put Manning at the bottom of any top 5 list right now though. He's still good enough for top 5, but he's clearly not fully healthy. Guy was throwing some wounded ducks last weekend. Mike Lombardi broke down the tape and said that it's the only game in Manning's career in which he didn't throw a single out or seam route
