Is Manning the best ever?
 
After last night, being reminded of just how good Peyton Manning is, I think it is about time the discussions begin as to whether or not he is the best ever. So what do people think, is he the best QB in NFL history?

Montana was the most overrated QB ever. Anyone could have been successful in that offense.

I don't agree. Harrison and Wayne are certainly very nice receivers but Manning doesn't even make them work to make the catch. He lays the ball in the perfect spot everytime such that any receiver could make the catch. If he ever went down to injury I think you would see a major dropoff in Harrison and Wayne's numbers.

and you have never seen me throw a football either...

Pop Warner MVP for 10 years in a row:cool: There are some advantages to being small:o



Peyton is good....great even. Best ever? Still a ways to go if you ask me.

Bradshaw, Marino, Aikman. All as good as Manning. Hard to separate between them.

Coach Pants 09-07-2007 12:39 PM
He's still playing so no.

I couldn't agree more. I never see Manning lay them out. He hits them all in stride right in the hands, it is unbelievable.

Lets not hope he gets hurt this year thought, I have all three of those (plus Dallas Clark) in Fantasy

Yeah....and Jerry Rice had to dive for every pass Joe ever threw him:rolleyes: . Joe played 15 years in the league and is ranked in the top 3 or 4 all time in completion %. You gotta be pretty accurate for that kinda stat.

Scavs...you were like 2 when Montana was in his prime.

Namath....Marino..and a number of other old timers would be serious contenders for best ever....
Believe it or not Oliver Lucks kid, who is a senior in HS and attending Stanford next yr, PINPOINT precision quarterback....yea i know HS.....just watch this kid in the next few yrs .

He's not far from the top, but you give Marino, Elway, etc his line and that offense, I'm pretty sure they would look that good. I also don't think Montana is overrated.
Marino had a pretty awesome line as well. Didn't he go like 20 straight games without being sacked? I think Manning makes his line look better than it is. His quick decisions and pocket presence really make his linemen look good. Too bad he never gets injured so we'll never be able to see how much he improves his teammates.

Hahaha. Well played, sir.

Hands down - Johnny Unitas is the best ever......

Storm Cadet 09-07-2007 01:30 PM
I watched Unitas a lot as he was my football idol as a kid....Manning is getting pretty darn close to Johnny U!

The game has changed so much from those days so it's hard to compare the offense and defensive sets between the two eras.

No you couldn't. Every pass you'd throw would either hit the offensive linemen in the ass or the defensive linemen in the nuts.....it'd be like trying to throw to recievers over top of the Great Wall of China for you....

Exactly. he has zero atheletic talent. He is suppose to be a golf pro and got his ass handed to him by comedy Marty, on like 43 minutes of sleep after pounding drinks all night. I'll let Marty fix my swing thank you very much.
