Also, let's not forget that Florida was at their peak while Manning was there. Wasn't 96 the year they won the national championship? I'm not saying that UT wasn't good, but I think the issues with Florida were more than just Manning.

The key here is that surrounded by premier talent, Russell put up good numbers. However, when he went up against teams with close to equivalent talent he struggled. Additionally, he did not make great decisions when under pressure.

I think a previous poster nailed the comparison. The guy is Jeff George all over. He has great measureables, but a lousy head. I might be wrong, but I don't think so.
