So his Super Bowl win wasn't a big game? How do you explain the collapse of the Colts with Manning missing?
I said signature game.......it's been five years, how much do you remember about how Manning performed?
By signature game, I mean...
Johnny Unitas beating the Giants in overtime
Bart Starr in the Ice Bowl
Joe Namath guaranteeing a win over the Colts
Joe Montana and "The Catch"
Eli beating an Undefeated Patriots with an 83 yd drive
Twenty years from now, which Peyton Manning win will you be talking about?
I'll be talking about a QB making below average team into Super Bowl winners. Just as one game doesn't make a quality QB.
If you want a signature game, AFC Championship game the Pats led 21-3, Manning rallied the Colts to the biggest comeback in a conference championship game. Then the Colts went on to win a Super Bowl.
Tebow beat the Steelers in overtime, it will long be remembered, so I guess it's a signature win, I still don't think of Tebow as a great QB.
I think Peyton Manning is one of the greatest Quarterbacks I have ever seen. If you like to talk QB statistics, Peyton is right up there with the best. But in terms of big game performance and championships, he has been a disappointment.
Peyton has nine playoff wins, his brother Eli has eight and Eli is not nearly has talented as Peyton and has not had the teams that Peyton has had. But Eli has more heart than Peyton
