It's really a tough act to follow a legend, but Luck seems to be on track, to a great career.

I would like to state,that I think it's a sad statement in sports, when a player is perceived as finished, there is no loyalty for what he has done for a team. Peyton Manning deserved more respect than he received form the Colts owner, Jim Irsay.

Peyton is the greatest, IMHO, as he is arguably the only coach like type player, to play the game. He work habits are legend in game preparation, and he executes with very few exceptions. The Colts stadium is the house that Peyton built, but the Colts had an embarrassment of riches, in being able to land two QB's. Stuff that dreams, are made of.

I felt sorry for Eli in a way, in that no matter what he does, he is always held to the higher standard of Peyton. Now all Peyton has to do is. win another two Super Bowls.


Peyton versus Tom Brady today. it should be a great game.

I will still be rooting for my Giants. GO GIANTS!!!
Peyton Manning is a great quarterback. He is certainly one of the best today and one of the greatest of all time. Unfortunately he seems to have a bit of trouble when it comes to closing the door. A bit reminiscent of Dan Marino. But at least he does have that one Superbowl where Marino far all his greatness never won the big game.

I'm not sure what you mean as

but as I see it, Tom Brady also thinks like a coach.

Yes, today should be a great game. I'm just glad it's in Foxborough where the temperature will be in the thirties with an eighteen mph wind and it could snow.
Even in Denver, Manning has never been a great bad weather player.
