Did you even watch the Superbowl before writing this? If you put the ball in the hands of your receivers and they don't catch it,... who's fault is that? He didn't play his best game, I'll give you that but let me ask you one CRUCIAL question. All those guys you claim are MAYBE better than Peyton,.. how many of them actually CALLED the plays, and how many just ran what the coach called? He's basically the QB AND the offensive coordinator 80% of the time he's on the field. That ALONE puts Peyton on another level. Think about it.

@Pabryant: Yes I watched the Super Bowl...very close to the game. And Manning had a good game....You must understand that why Peyton Calls most of his plays and is the QB ( GREAT!!!)....he also plays in the era when DBs cannot really play defense. So of course his receivers are open a lot more than Joe Montanas, Bradshaw etc etc. You all are not reading the blog correctly...I am not saying that Peyton sucks....he is the BEST QB in the league today. RELAX and practice reading comprehension!

honestly, let's have this argument when his career is over and see if your opinions are the same. but still, if people are saying he's greatest of all time now, that should be saying something. its more than super bowls, i live in Indy and have watched damn near every game he's ever played, i've never seen anyone play the position better, but i know that a lot of people are still going to agree that even if he doesnt win another super bowl, when it's all said and done, he'll be the best at his position ever. dont tell me the regular season doesnt count for anything either because last i remember, you need to win in the reg. season to get to the playoffs and the super bowl. when peyton hangs em up, i dont think you can argue that he will be remembered as THE greatest.

@NDIrish 98.....You can quite possibly be right.....We will have to revisit this debate when his career is done. Right now In my humble opinion....he is not even top 3.

I can read and comprehend. Reading between the lines, what you're really saying is, if the Colts won, that pretty much made Peyton the best ever or close to it. If he wasn't, there would be no need for this blog.

But anyway, you're saying the DB's of the past era are better than the DB's now. Ty Law, Troy Polamalu, Ed Reed, Charles Woodson, Champ Bailey, etc. Bigger, Faster, and arguably smarter as the science of football has become more precise. What you MEANT to say is, as these changes in players has occurred, the edge has gone to the offense, yet that does not discredit Peyton. If you want to talk about the effect of OTHER players on the field, then it is necessary to look at the DEFENSES of the other QB's on the list. Pretty much all of them had better defenses than the Colts. (sidenote: the fact that Ben Rothsliberger was even mentioned almost discredits the whole blog) When you talk about "the best QUARTERBACK", talk about the best quarterback. That in and of itself, lowers the gravity of things like "Superbowl wins." That is a team effort. The only reason Ben Rothsliberger could even be mentioned on the list. And don't get me wrong, I like Big Ben, but he is not even close to being mentioned in these terms,... yet.

ROETHSLISBERGER, excuse me to the Big Ben fans.
