Grade Peyton Mannings Bronco career

[FTBS]

I give him a C+ maybe a B-

Year 1: very good performance in regular season, preformed very good in division games, but in playoffs...lost to Ravens in overtime.

Year 2: again very good performance in regular season, did well against new england in AFCCG. However, ended season with EPIC FAIL in SB48.

Year 3: good overall performance in regular season. 1 and done in playoffs against their kryptonite the Colts and Luck...did not preform well in that game.

Year 4: offense had a lot of woes this year....anemic offense and too turnover prone for a guy of his caliber. Defense bailed their O out in a bunch of games....even to "lesser" opponents like Browns, Raiders (they on come up tho), etc. Threw 4 picks against KC and got benched. However, in playoffs he did just enough to win games. Should've did better against Steelers with their injuries to key players like Brown. He didn't turn over ball against New England. He didn't do great but he didn't do bad either. He was aight. Also he replacing Brock in the last regular season game against chargers did seem to bring a much needed spark to O and running game. I can tell earlier during season that he needed to take time to get used to Kubiak's offense. I was wondering was he a good fit for that system.

I'm very curious as to how Peyton and Denver will preform against Carolina.

My old barber was a Peyton fan and he made a good point. Peyton never had a coach since Dungy. Caldwell and Fox wasn't as good (well it seems) and this may be a factor as to why Peyton didn't preform well in those SB's against Saints and Hawks.

Still give his Denver performance a C+/B-.

He broke every major passing record .

Funny how the Ls only get half a bar but his 4th trip to the SB gets a paragraph .

C+/B- What kind of curve are we grading on here? List the QBs that have been better over the last 4 years.

I give him a C+ .

This is why these QB narratives are BS.

The story was that Brady owned Manning in the playoffs because he started 2-0. Now after taking 3 straight losses you want to talk about home field advantage and margin of victory.

If playoff wins get discounted due to home field advantage, please realize that 15 of Brady's 22 playoff wins came at home. Also realize that Brady has never beaten Manning in postseason w/o HFA either.

Stop moving the goal posts. I need someone to explain to me how Brady who is so clutch and amazing in the postseason, has a losing record and keeps getting sonned by Manning who is supposed to be such a playoff choker. Manning/Brady are both AFC QBs so the AFC CG is as big a stage as it gets. Why is the choker 3-1 against mr clutch?



Gonna have to cook up a better answer than HFA. Or we're going to need to throw these bullshyt QB storylines in the trash and realize that football is a team game.

This.

Heading into the game last week: Brady vs. Manning 17, Brady can overcome a shytty line with his quick throws
This week: Boy that Denver defense, Boy that Pats O-line, You can't expect Brady to overcome that

2005: Stats don't matter it's all about getting it done and winning games in the postseason, Brady owns Manning in the playoffs
2016: Bu...bu...but look at Peyton's stats, Look at Peyton's defense, Look at Brady's o-line, Get Tom some outside receivers

But it isn't Brady v Manning in Denver, it's been Brady v Denver's altitude, which is what you fail to understand. The last 2 AFCCG between them you could've put a back up QB (even Tebow) in Peyton's place and the Broncos still win because of their biological HFA.

Let's not forget that Brady took a very untalented 2006 team to an upset over the #1 Chargers and then had the Colts on the ropes in the AFCCG before a series of questionable PI calls brought Indy back from the dead.

So it's on Tom when the Pats win. It's on Peyton when his teams lose. But when it flips it's on bad calls and altitude. Sounds sensible and consistent

Anything less than a B is blasphemy.

 

[JYoung24]

he was bounced out of the first round (that he played in) in 2 of his 4 seasons at Denver despite having the best homefield advantage (thin air) and superior teams each time.

As it stands, his career in Denver (after he loses in 10 days) will be a B- given the expectations surrounding his decision to join them.

Bruh he played well in that game they lost in if u go to two superbowls in 4 yea win or lose ur not a regular season qb he ain't palmer or romo

Not really. He had 2 special teams touchdowns to even get him that 7 point lead right before the Rocky Mountain Rainbow. If we're being honest, ST touchdowns rarely happen once in a game let alone twice, so you can easily make the argument that the ravens should've won that game 28-21. The hail mary was pretty much the universe doing its part to re-balance the extreme luck of TWO special teams touchdowns returned by Trindon Holliday in the same game.


Peyton also threw a pick 6 in that game, for good measure. And then the game ending interception in double OT. I don't see how that loss isn't on him.

Peyton didn't play particularly well in the two 2013 AFC playoff games leading up to the super bowl, and he's been abysmal all year this year. So in the end, all that is left is an impressive 35 game stretch of regular season games (from Week 5 in 2012 to Week 9 in 2014)

He thew 3 tds in that ravens and he played well against the chargers and threw for 400 yards and 2 tds against the pats in 2013 he had a great run the superbowl

Well there are advanced statistics that prove Brady is a superior QB (reg season and playoffs each) but you seem to have your mind made up already.

Denver has a different homefield advantage from any other NFL team (or any sports team in any other city really) due to its stadium altitude. Any scientist will tell you it is biologically the biggest HFA in sports. But something tells me you believed the Deflategate reports and therefore disregarded the Ideal Gas Law as "bullshyt"

Post it.

 

[JameisNewton]

Post it.

no better measure of greatness than a sustained peak/era of dominance. Peyton has a slight lead in aggregate statistics (brought about by a 3 year head start in the league, of course) that will all but disappear within the next 2 years as Brady continues to tear up defenses while Peyton watches from his couch (I say 2 because it's pretty obvious Brady's 2015 campaign destroys Peyton's, who was probably the worst active starter in the league until Brock replaced him)

I'm disappointed.

I only posted regular season stats because as someone repping Philly you probably aren't too worried about anything that has to do with the playoffs or winning a Super Bowl

You must not be too bright if you really think I'm an Eagles fan

How is anyone supposed to know otherwise? All I see is "Reppin: City of Brotherly Love"


You must not be too bright if you really don't know what an inference is.
