It's pretty harsh and I am inclined to agree with some of it but not all of it because he did get it done at least once.

Even if it came at the expense of Rex Grossman and company.

Freaking NFL Hall was a joke back then. Freaking Lynn Swan made it from the Steelers too. Anyone on the big teams from those days gets in, then you got maybe the best defensive back ever in Johnny Robinson not in. Yes I am butthurt

Why is this relevant?

Sports writer who never played football questions Manning's postseason play?
"Huh, tell me more. "

NFL QB with multiple superbowls questions Manning's postseason play?
"This guy sucked! What does he know about playing quarterback?!"

Just an overrated QB trying to prop himself up against the very best to ever play the game.

I love Terry.

I'm a Peyton fan too.

Terry might've been joking around, or maybe this is his true opinion, whatever, he's entitled to it.

But somebody said it best earlier in this thread.....

Put Peyton on the 70's Steelers- they win 5 or more SB's

Put Terry on the Colts teams Peyton played on- he's lucky to even make the playoffs.

I'm from NOLA and like Peyton but have you guys watched him in the regular season and the playoffs? The drop off is real and I don't like saying that. On the flip side do you people remember the Raiders, Dolphins and Cowboys from Bradshaw's era? Those were ridiculous teams that could rape a receiver at the line of scrimmage, decapitate a receiver going over the middle and put a QB out of a game with a headshot 2 seconds after he released the ball. But let's say that those Steeler teams had no competition and that Manning would have won 10 SB's with them.

I agree that Bradshaw probably gets a lot of personal credit for team accomplishments, but this isn't exactly a fair comparison. It was a different time. The passing game is a lot different now. If you want to make a fair comparison then show where his qb rating/yards/touchdowns ranks as compared with his contemporaries.

Ok
Staubach: 153- 109 TD/INT 83.4%
Joe Monatana: 273-139 92.3%
Fran Tarkenton: 342-266 81%
Bob Griese 192-172 77.1 %
Billy Kilmer 152-146 71.6%
Johhny Unitas: 290-253 78.2%
Ken Anderson: 197-160 81.9%
Bert Jones: 124-101 78.2%

I just thought of 8 QBs in the 70s alone that had better numbers than Terry. Terry was gifted on playing on a gifted team when the NFL had no parity

bradshaw was on an amazing team during that time. He was just a mediocre qb, nothing more than a flacco, dilfer, etc
