I won't bore you with a bunch of stats. I will say this at 37 years old, he just had the greatest statistical season for a QB in the history of the NFL. There is something to be said about that. It goes beyond stats though.
Peyton is the current career wins leader for active players with 167. That does not tell the entire story. Let's be honest, the Colts teams he was on were not that great. He made those teams. Put him in New England and he has 200 wins. Then the haters say that he does not do well in the playoffs. Well, it's Super Bowl three for him and once again, imagine that he played in New England.
He is the smartest QB in the league. He calls audibles like a champ and can read defenses like no other. He could be an offensive coordinator one day and maybe dare I say, a head coach.
There will always be debate about who is the greatest. Montana and Bradshaw had four Super Bowls each. Marino put up the crazy numbers. Favre put up the numbers and played forever and could come back from behind. Manning can do all that and if he wins the second Super Bowl of his career, the debate will start to end.
The next time a P. Manning hater wants to say he is not the greatest then remind them of this video.
