Like your opinion really matters.

it just cracks me up...

it's like no one actually watches the games...

HELLO!?

someone PLEASE tell me there is a QB out there that has ever played the game better than Peyton Manning...and I'm just talking about on HIS best day...

On Peyton's BEST day...no one compares.

Now...my dad told me something a long time ago about his golf game that kind of stuck with me...his brother (my uncle) is a golf pro and I'd ride/walk along with them when I was 8 or 9 (I didn't play, just watched) and my dad was an above average golfer but nowhere near as good as my uncle...but a lot of the time he would out drive him and hit better shots...and I asked him..."dad, why aren't you as good as your brother? You can hit all the shots..." and he told me the difference between him and my uncle is that his WORST golf shots are still pretty close to as good as his best golf shots...whereas my dad's worst golf shots were really bad, as opposed to not as good as his best...

So if we want to argue that Peyton's bad days are what keeps him from being better than Joe Montana...I guess we can agree to disagree...

but if someone wants to try and tell me that there has been better QB play than Peyton Manning when he's in the zone...then they are just foolish.

I'm assuming this is sarcasm. I don't think the Bulls have ever won a championship that didn't include Michael Jordan. I could be wrong on that, but they didn't win one while he was playing baseball.
[Reply]

Yeah, that's kind of my entire point.
[Reply]

you're a fucking moron...and not for Peyton Manning...at least that is a debate...

the Michael Jordan thing isn't even close to a debate...

and you're a moron for suggesting otherwise...

a moron of epic proportions...
[Reply]

Michael played in an era when there were no great teams.

Some good ones, but not great.

He made the players around him more effective at what they did well, but he didn't make them better at what they didn't.

Magic raised the play of the weak aspects of the players around him, as well as what they already excelled at.

I missed the sarcasm. It's harder to read on the internet. :-)

And again, I care about the opinion of someone universally accepted as a useless dumbass and douchebag about as much as I care about winning a trip to Watts.

Montana has 4. If Manning can win 4, I'd anoint him. Not until...
[Reply]

I love it.

Wilt played in an era where there were no good players.

I could score 100 points if I played a team of 5th graders.
[Reply]

I'm a useless dumbass who is ALWAYS right against you...

ALWAYS...

Stemming back to Huard...

All the way to Manning/Brady...

and I've been saying the same thing since 2003...it's good to see that finally everyone is jumping on board...you'll be on soon enough. You can only deny it so much until you no longer want to beat yourself up over defending something that makes you look like a total retard.
[Reply]

Your analogy is a good one. And that's why it's hard to argue against guys you haven't personally witnessed, live, in real time with any kind of consistency. Montana was everything that Peyton is now. He just didn't have the epic fuck ups that Peyton had early in his career. Right now, Montana is the GOAT. But I do think it's only a matter of time before Peyton erases that. Peyton has a lot less to work with than Joe did.

Somebody's a little insecure.
[Reply]

Are you sure? Brady has the record for TD passes in a season with 50. Whose record of 48 did he break? :-)
[Reply]

Sanders was a great RB, but he never fully understood when to simply take what the defense gave him.

Now, admittedly, we might have missed a few electrifying runs had he done that, but the fact is, losing yardage is not a recipe for team success.

I'll take the guys that are almost always moving forward.
