And i don't think the colts are as good as they were a year ago.
I hear this meritless crap almost EVERY single season.
And almost every single season, Manning leads the Colts to a 12-4 OR BETTER record and a first-round bye in the play-offs.
WHEN, oh WHEN, will people FINALLY give Peyton Manning the respect he deserves?
He would have been the 1st pick in the NFL draft in his JUNIOR year, so the experts KNEW he would likely be a superstar.
In spite of this, he returned to Tennessee for his senior year, killed it, and THEN was indeed the 1st pick in the NFL draft the following year.
He THEN proceeded to break almost every single all-time NFL rookie passing record there is.
NOW - he's on pace to OBLITERATE every major passing record in the NINETY YEAR HISTORY of the NFL.
He has spearheaded the Colts to the best record this past decade of ANY NFL TEAM IN ANY DECADE EVER.
The Colts keep losing Pro Bowlers virtually every season to free agency and trades, they draft towards the bottom of the draft nearly every season, and STILL, the Colts win their division nearly every year, and earn the #1 seed regularly.
And it's NOT like he's a loser - he has led the Colts to TWO Super Bowl appearances (as many as Elway, one MORE than Marino) and one Super Bowl win (one fewer than Elway, one MORE than Marino), and he's nowhere NEAR retiring yet.
He's the single most feared player in North American team sports, and plays the most important position on the field.
Respek!
