But Jerry Rice stats drop off in the playoffs worse than Peyton's do


And also comes through on the biggest stage.

Super Bowl XXIII: 11 receptions, 215 yards, 1 touchdown
Super Bowl XXIV: 7 receptions, 148 yards, 3 touchdowns
Super Bowl XXIX: 10 receptions, 149 yards, 3 touchdowns

That, along with his regular season stats, is why Rice is the GOAT at his position.

Show how you arrive at that. Go.

By the definition of playoff performance vs regular season performance Mark Sanchez is the greatest EVER. FACT.


I'm talking about choking. Manning falls off HUGE. Not even debatable. That some other guy managed to play over his head simply magnifies the significance of the fact that over a damned long time and over a large sample size, Manning has played UNDER his head.

Who gives a shite Rice is not a QB? This is a stupid argument.


So playoff stats matter for the QB and no one else on the team? Yes or No?

So Mark is a HOF QB? Again you are comparing PM with average QBs in the regular season. compare him to all time great QBs regular season and playoffs and see what you come up with.


So are Montana, Brady etc 5x MVPs 7x 1st team All Pros? Again why you are comparing average QBs to a 5x MVP 7x 1st team All Pro?

You can rationalize all you want but the simple fact is, almost without exception, for a damned long career.........Manning has RELIABLY fallen off in the post season.

Almost anyone can fall off or step up once. That's called an anomaly. Do it for more than 15 years and it's who you are.

It does when the title of the fricking thread is:
This SB loss did NOTHING to affect Manning's legacy in a negative way

I believe we are comparing QB not WR or running backs.

What the frick are you talking about? I haven't compared Manning with no one but the all time greats. That's what we are discussing here who is the greatest QB, are we not?

You are saying that you can't compare the postseason stats of Sanchez because he isn't close in regular season achievement right?

Well Montana and Brady aren't close in regular season achievement to Peyton so by the same token we shouldn't be comparing them.

There seem to be two different arguments floating around.

1) Comparing Manning's stats to some other great's (but at a different position) stats. That's just silly and already been covered by myself and others so no need to rehash.

2) The question of Manning's legacy. This game has value because the debate isn't whether Manning is a great, Hall of Fame QB. He is and the Super Bowl didn't change it. The "real" debate is whether Manning is the best QB to ever play. When the bar is that high, his performance in the Super Bowl is fair game to critique.

IMHO, the team wide meltdown actually works in Manning's favor on that score because nobody can play the "Well, if only Peyton played a little better..." game. However, nobody can say "If only everybody else on the Broncos matched Manning's play..." either and that counts as a ding in the "greatest ever" argument, like it or not.

No winning it would have enhanced it. Losing it tarnished his legacy especially doing it in this fashion. You're saying that laying an egg in this SB did nothing for his ranking in the all time ranking? You are a fool if you believe this.
I can't imagine what this season did for Aaron Rodgers' legacy then. He probably won't even be in the league next year.

He's saying Peyton could have thrown 12 INTs and 0 TDs and his legacy would not have been tarnished. It can only go up, never down, because it's logic.
