Peyton Manning - - Interesting Insight

Funny, was discussing last week at work best QB ever...I said:
1.Peyton
2.Montana
3.Elway
4.Farve
5.Brady/Marino

I think Peyton, the way he analyzes defenses and basically runs/calls it on the field seals it for me. Never seen anything like it and it is amazing to watch...like last week the way he destroyed the Jets secondary the second half was brillant. I love Joe, he was my father's favorite and remember him in the playoffs being simply a cool customer, poise and clutch. I think you had to be tougher back then to play QB b/c of the hitting, but I think defense schemes are better and the league is stronger as a whole. I gotta give Peyton the edge, Montana a very close second.

We should trade Will Montgomery for Peyton Manning. Maybe get the Colts to throw in a draft choice to boot.

Lotus:

Only if the Skins can get Manning to renounce his current contract and sign for the vet minimum...

Very good list, but what about Steve Young? I think Young had it all, and he is ranked 1a- while Manning would be 1b. Elway wouldn't make my top 5, he was good, but he was overrated. Top 10 or so.

Yeah I liked Young alot (highest rated passer ranking all time), but he inherited such a great team and that franchise was run so well...I guess I feel like im more impressed by a QBs that came in and did it themselves, pulling the team together...he is mos def in the top ten and second thinking challenges my 5 spot with Brady/Marino. Elway, never really a fan of this guy, but was IMO incredible. The Superbowls, the arm strength, and the comeback victories are legendary...
