Looking in the past is pathetic. You guys need to look to the future
The reality next year...
Only on gaf will people debate this fact.
Better dresser? Better hair transplant? Better cheater? All true
Better at quarterback? No, Peyton is the all time great. If you have an all time NFL draft he goes first

He's pale as fuck and a little chubby.
All I read was I wish that the Texans had a worthwhile QB.
I wouldn't take Tammy in an all time draft unless I got Belichick as a package deal.
So he is Texas Toast ?
Wtf
I find the Von MIller/Cam Newton matchup pretty fascinating. #1 and #2 picks in the same draft, and the best overall athletes on their respective teams. Better than that, they'll be directly competing against each other, mentally and physically, in the biggest game of their lives. Also Peyton Manning vs Luke Kuechly, but they won't really be taking each other on physically, like Cam and Miller. The winners of those matchups will probably decide the game.

Brady rode the coattails of maybe the best coach ever in the NFL in a system built to his strengths, based around dinking and dunking (except when Randy Moss was there, but that doesn't count since Moss made Daunte motherfucking Culpepper look competent) and cheating. Manning took a Jim Caldwell coached team to the Super Bowl and lost because his team had no fucking idea people could onside kick whenever they wanted.
I'm not sure how this is a conversation.

You joke, but that catch probably is called incomplete in today's NFL.
That ball definitely hit the ground before he ever handed it off to the ref.
Good thing that was back when Rog was too busy throwing every black man he could out of the league for even sneezing the wrong way to fuck up the catch rule.
You spent an entire offseason talking up Ryan Mallet, I'm not sure you should be allowed to make a list.

That's a man I can support.
Our friendship is getting more damaged by the second.
Remember when we talked about Texas pool parties and cowboy hats? That's a long time ago man.
Nah that catch is complete in any era
As a pure QB?
Elway is better in every way. Stats also don't translate across eras, so you can't make statistical comparisons.
Tough as nails, rocket arm, could scramble, accurate, carried teams that had no business being in Superbowls, and was clutch as hell.
Plus he was on Home Improvement with Tim Allen. I doubt Brady has ever picked up a power tool in his life, much less be able to run a Binford 9000.
I get that you base all your arguments on rings when it comes to QBs, and that's cool.

Didn't figure he'd ever make it to the FA market.

Elway was never as accurate as the other guys. I'll trade some velocity for the accuracy. If I could take the peak of any QB, it would be Rodgers. It is absolutely insane the way he plays football. We're so used to it we don't always remember how amazing he is. Few more years and he is the GOAT
Don't waste your time.
Brady is a special player, but holy hell did a lot of shit have to fall in place for him.
If you think he would've succeeded anywhere going in the first, then you are lost.

For all of Manning's failures in the playoffs, I won't take anything away from his statistical accomplishments and overall impact on the way offense is played in the NFL. I mentioned this before, but the offense he ran with the Colts is basically the same as Chip's "revolution". They were no huddle, from the shotgun with a single back, redlining it for 60 minutes. Peyton had tons of TDs from simply exploiting defenders who weren't ready for the play. Running the ball was also a big part of that offense, James had a borderline HoF career with the Colts. Most modern NFL offenses aspire to be like those Colts team.
This is why the Browns are terrible and you deserve their failures
Elway was around 55% - to lower 60s in a different era. Career average of 56.9%.
Dan Marino hovered in the same percentage ranking around 57% to a couple of seasons at lower 60s. Career average of 59.4%.
Like I said it's hard to compare statistically across eras, but Elway was just as accurate as passers in his day.

James was on his way to GOAT status before his injuries. The teams you speak of were in their prime 04-06, best teams the Colts have ever fielded.

Anyone that understands numbers will debate that "fact". Head to head in the AFC championship game Manning in up 3-1. How can you be the goat over someone when he kicked your fucking ass 75% of the time when it mattered most?
That man is assaulting that poor innocent dog.
Lock him in jail and throw away the key.

Also, put me in the camp calling for a national holiday for our true American Heroes, the New York football Giants, who saved us all from the scourge of Satan.
His wife stabbed him the night before the game, real classy of you making fun of domestic violence you fucking cunt!

Edgerrin fucking James "borderline HoF" and on his way to "GOAT?"
Jesus fuck, offseason NFL GAF, get your shit together. A guy who topped out at 1500 yards and 13 TDs wasn't ever sniffing Canton. He's in the Colts ring of honor and in the Hall of Pretty Damn Good, but let's tone down the ball washing on a guy that had 2 great seasons.

Manning's pass rush was so impressive last week, what a player!
How can you be the goat when you are 1-2 in super bowls!?!?
spin was 11 when James was playing well, go easy on him!

No, the only garbage I watch is Dolphins football.
So pale, chubby ginger? Damn...genetic lotto was not kind to bread.
Obviously to anyone that knows wtf they are talking about. Manning is the definition of the modern QB, you want to talk #QBWINZZ go hang out in the ESPN forums or something. Manning is without a doubt the best QB we have ever seen.
Imagine if Manning could have faced Brady in more AFC championship games? Unfortunately he was too busy continuously one and doning to face him more.
Are you purposefully ignoring the fact that defense won Tammy his Super Bowls or are you just incapable of objectivity with the Pats?

He suffered an injury but many guys recovered from, and still went to the Cards and was serviceable.
Of course you probably just googled his numbers and never actually watched him play
