I miss Peyton in the NFL, this man would be a monster of an offensive coordinator
Ive thought about it and honestly think the smartest QBs would make great defensive QBs. The amount of film they study and their ability to identify tendencies would potentially be a scary combination. I don't know if there's any evidence of this but i thought about it after watching Romo predict plays regularly before they happen.
@@AEMT-ks4so I mean I’m sure they’d make good coaches all around having to know the defenses and the way to counter them. Granted I’m sure they’d have to be in the booth to be properly utilized
@@AEMT-ks4so I’m a biased Cowboys fan but I’ve been saying Romo would make an amazing Coordinator/Coach since before he showed everyone how smart he is on CBS lol
He should do that!!
@@AEMT-ks4so romo is trash
It really was crazy back then. Peyton would throw ~30 tds, 4,000-4,700 yds, and win 12+ games year after year and it was just normal
Yup. Younger fans may not realize it too, but throwing for 4,000 yds alone was a big deal then- but Manning made it look normal. The game was different and wasn't as pass friendly.
And choke in the playoffs. He went one and done an NFL record 9 I repeat 9 times!!
@@marckellough529 yeah it's crazy how bad he was in the playoffs. Tbf though he couldn't even rely on anybody bailing him out like a game saving defensive or special teams play
@@mohnjarx7801 The main problem was his offense wasn't scoring that many points in the playoffs. Let's face it he was only productive in the regular season
@@marckellough529 Look at the injuries on the defense backing him up most of those years. And look at the "meh" defenses he carried. His defenses were so bad for so many of those "1 and done" years. He sucked in a few of them yes, but you can't say he had backup on the other side.
And you see what he did to Tom Brady's teams in AFC Championship games after he actually got an above average defense behind him.
Eli Manning got carried to 2 SB's by his defense, and Peyton got carried to 1 of his 2 wins by his. Defense wins championships bro.
Pats fan here. He was far and away the most dangerous and respected QB the Pats faced during the Belichick/Brady run. Brady and Manning made each other better. Miss those days.
Weren’t those the best games. Colts Vs Pats in the AFC Title game again! Who would’ve guessed, 😂
As a colts fan, when manning was in his prime it didn’t matter how dominant the patriots were that year l always knew the colts had a chance to win 😂 but those playoff games were definitely the best
What's really great about Peyton is he didn't need deflated balls or stolen playbooks
@@CubbiesMLBColts fans are still mad he dismantled you guys that bad huh? He literally played better after the "deflated" balls were removed from play.
@@J0EB0B555 I'm not a colts fan at all. Brady is a joke, manufactured by the NFL. Dude failed to start over Brian grease at Michigan. That says it all
I was at the 2006 AFC Championship game. All I can say is that game was absolutely nuts, being able to see it live.
i remember watching it, from MA not really a football fan, but dang the defense was horrible in that second half.
I am jealous that game hands down probably still the best nfl game I ever watched
On one hand, the Pats had no business being in that game to begin with, it was all Brady. On the other, it was in the bag. All they had to do with hang on and the Pats take another Super Bowl since the Bears were a weak opponent. It was both lucky to be there and choke job for the Pats.
@@levisguy53MASSIVE MEATY KOCK WHIPPED OUT OF A HOMELESS MAN'S PANTS
This guy revolutionized his position. The most intelligent QB I've ever seen.
No, he didn't.
Andrew Luck was way better!
He is the first offense coordinator I've ever seen play starting QB lol
@@scrapzjones2328 facts
By complaining to Bill Polian to have the rules changed?
Peyton's history is the proof that even being from a golden cradle isn't the only thing needed to achieve success. It demands A LOT of effort too. Clearly top 3 qb history wise in my books
I think id even put Peyton as the number 2. That game against the Pats when the Colts came back 24 points in 2 minutes to win that game. Holy shit, talk about a career defining game.
If football was viewed as an individual sport like baseball, he'd be the flat out goat. Other than super bowls he accomplished more than even Tom brady.
Top 10 def but not top 3. His playoff record and stats take him out
Top ten, but not even close to top three. Not enough grit, not enough championships. One of his rings was won in spite of him. In the lower half of the top ten for sure. Even in his generation he is far outranked by both Brady and Rodgers, whose stats weren't padded by playing in a dome. Manning is closer to Brees than he is Brady or Rodgers, the other great dome quarterback of the 2000s and 2010s.
He’s the best QB ever. Brady is the best winner. Brady had better teams, more complete teams, but Manning was JUST better. It’s great to hear people talk of their rivalry without speaking of the actual teams.
If Peyton played in his prime right now, hed tear the league up. The guy broke the touchdown record twice, once with a noodle arm that still holds the record for single season passing TDs and yards, despite there being 17 games now. His brain would embarrass todays league and with the increased penalties to defense hed pick teams apart. Man i miss this guy. Thats how you dominate a position!
Totally agree. There's one problem tho. Tom Brady is still in the league
At ages 43 & 44 Brady has thrown an astronomical 10,000 yards and 93 TD's and led the league in TD's, Completions and Yards last season - At age 38 - Manning threw 134 yards, 0 TD's and 1 INT and his defense bailed him out in his last game and SB ..
At age 40 Brady threw a SB record 505 yards 😂
Manning was in his prime and was 1 and out in the playoffs a horrific 9 times - lost a SB 43-8
Highly disagree with the statement that he broke the TD record with a noodle arm. His arm was still very strong in 2013. If anything he really just fell off a cliff in 2015.
@@mpp0919 Even in his Super Bowl run and win in 2006 he was below average - in 4 playoff games he only threw for a grand total of 3 TD's and a whopping 7 INT's .
He didn't have a noodle arm when he threw 55 TDs, he fell off halfway through the year after that.
He was a coach playing QB, he was the offensive coordinator. Peyton at his best rivaled the greatest of all time.
Just learned he wrote handwritten letters to fellow players either after they retired, or just to thank them for respecting the game and the opportunity to play against them. What a stand up guy 🧡
I'm a Ravens fan, and my favorite Manning story, and the one that showed me who the greatest was between Manning and Brady happened during the Raven's last superbowl run. Ray had announced at the start of the playoffs that he was retiring at the end of the season. When the Ravens beat the Patriots in the playoffs, Tom Brady pouted and ran off the field without shaking anybody's hand. When the Ravens went into Denver and beat them with the Mile High Miracle, an absolutely crushing way to lose, Peyton gathered up his family and waited outside the Raven's locker room for 2 hours just to be able to talk to Ray and thank him for the great competition over the years.
Think about that. You just get beat in the playoffs as you are getting towards the end of your career and that might have been your last shot. You get beat in miraculous fashion by a play that had nothing to do with you. Your season is now over and while everybody on your team is completely bummed out, you sit outside the winning team's locker room listening to them celebrating for 2 whole hours just to show respect to one of your greatest opponents who you will no longer be able to play against. Pure class. The GOAT forever in my opinion after that. It's not just about super bowl rings and records. There is another part of it that makes you the greatest.
@@117Chief930 exactly 🤍💙
@@117Chief930 didn't know that story, thank you for sharing it(Ray is a legend). Just another notch in the great career of Peyton. Like you said, when Brady loses(especially to someone he doesn't consider his equal) he runs of the field pouting and not shacking anyone's hand. Peyton always congratulated the other team and showed what a class act is. I'm sure it hurt him just as much as Tom to lose but that's no reason to act like a man baby. Handle it with class, you were the better man/team this day so congratulations and I'm looking forward to seeing you next year.
He also sexually assaulted a woman in college
@@117Chief930 Almost true. Peyton threw that ugly pic in Denver's own territory that led to JT's field goal. So... Peyton definitely lost that game for Denver lolz.
I'm in Indianapolis resident and I'll tell you whether we won the super bowl or not every single year was amazing watching Peyton play with the Indianapolis colts except that first year and he was just another amazing player to watch when he played at Denver definitely miss him in the NFL
you were able to tell when brady was gonna beat your arse out of the playoffs every year thats pretty good
@@Utoo4200 Manning beat Brady in 3 AFC Championships.
He's by far the the the best general to ever command the field. The way he ran his troops was unbelievable. A straight general!!
Why was he MIA in the playoffs?
I moved to the Iowa from the UK in 1994, it took me awhile to get into football but I became I huge fan of the Colts in 01' while I was living in Bloomington IN, and I was a Hawkeye fan for college football so the Colts was a perfect fit with Bob Sanders and Dallas Clark on the team. Watching Peyton play was amazing, I'll never forget that 4th quarter comeback against the defending Superbowl champ.Tampa Bay. Such a legend.
Go Hawkeyes
Iowa native here. I hope you have been to the state fair in des moines. One of the best fairs in the world.
Monday Night Miracle, baby!
Dude knew he wasn't right physically and he still threw for almost 5,000 yards
PED's. Funny how everyone has such a selective memory
@@ACL617 exactly
Was it known he used them?
@@myshepspud1 I doubt his wife was using them...lol still a huge Peyton fan at the end of the day. But 4 intense neck surgeries like that and he sets all kinds of records? Sketchy lol
@@ACL617 lol, want to talk about Peyton and PEDs but refuse to acknowledge 8 Seahawks players tested positive for PEDs as well, with 0 excuse except for 3 players who claimed it was "Adderall". Stawp.
That was the same year the Seahawks ended up shutting us out, so.........
My favorite QB my 🐐 of all time.
Smh
@@PsychicCatTCG Don't shake it to hard or it ll come off.
Same here man. Imagine if manning had the consistency of having bill belicheck the best nfl coach of this generation. He’d have at least 2-3 more rings
@@ernestoraker9874 he did have tony dungy arguably the 3rd best coach of this generation
Greatest of all time of all time?
His ability to read a defense and call a game from the line is unmatched
Whats more exceptional is his ability to command his defense and be a bus rider to his second ring
Definitely Greatest passenger of all time
Except when he went up against them Patriots defenses who built their whole identity on confusing you.
As a Cowboys fan I always admired Payton Maning. Because of him my sec fav team was the Colts. If it wasn’t cause of Tom Brady Payton would’ve won at least 5 SB. After he left the Colts to Denver I followed and I’m glad he won 2 SB. One of the best QBs to ever play the game
I’m not a colts fans but I grew up in Indianapolis. I still tear up thinking of how the colts let him go. Truly a legend and one of a kind
yea they hoed him
Legend? Guess you weren't there for the games where he assumed the fetal position...Manning was good, but basically a pussy...
Fs but it’s cringe how the broncos fans act like he only played for them and they hate to mention he used to play for them
@@ZuluGamingSeries Broncos fan here. WHAT? Your poorly constructed sentence and thought process are cringe bruh
@@ZuluGamingSeriesbro now your just making shit up to make shit up. I'm a Broncos fan and no broncos fan acts like that. He was honky here a few years. It wouldn't make sense. Sounds to me like your just angry at what it looks like when a town and franchise actually respects the QB talent they have when a player like Peyton Manning is playing. Indy wasted him for over a decade
The most intelligent QB to have ever played the game. He changed the way the game was played. I don’t think there will be another QB that will be able to analyze and adapt to defenses the way that he did. Top 5 QB all time.
Football is not about analysis...it's about brass balls. And Peyton was just a pussy..
Arch Manning his nephew.
Tom did it better. Montana said the same.
@@markusavonbergen7751 nobody asked pal
Montana had the nerve, Brady was right places right time, but Manning had the brains.
Brady is the most accomplished QB but Peyton gets my vote for the best overall QB (minus the rushing) of all time.
How so? The INSTANT the defense threw his receivers off their routes, and the timing got disrupted, he was mediocre, at best...
@@tgriffin3059 That literally happens to every QB that has played in NFL. QB's throwing to Wide receivers is a connection and timing base thing. So if the receiver is thrown off his route or runs the wrong route, the QB is going to suffer from that.
@@Silent_Hybrid Yeah...that was kind of the point, Sherlock. Because modern defense is so soft, guys get to throw to more wide open receivers. So hard workers like Manning and Brady develop great rapport with their guys, from spending so much time together in practice. Thus, when you get to the actual game, they could make many of those throws blind-folded. BUT THAT'S NOT FOOTBALL!!! Back when they played actual defense, qbs had to have some instincts and tenacity and toughness. When you play football against actual coverage, you may have to wait for a guy to get open. Or you may have to gamble on a throw where the guy doesn't have the separation you'd prefer. All that means that, first, you're going to get hit a lot more often, because you can't always get rid of the ball right away. And second, your stats won't look nearly as pristine. Nobody completes 75% of his passes when he's playing against a real defense. And these things still apply, when the defense plays well. It's just that today's defenses generally can't shut people down like the old ones, because the rules make it much harder. For instance, when Brady missed out on his undefeated season, the Giants played one of the greatest defensive games in history. But I PROMISE you, if it was best out of 7, like baseball or basketball, there's no WAY they could have done that more than once. The Patriots would have won easily, probably 4-1. Same with New England, when they got their first ring, against the Rams...you could see how tired they were by the fourth quarter of that game. Their defense was dead on its' feet. In a series, they'd have lost. But for ONE GAME...they had enough. Barely. Brady, Manning, Brees....they made their name in this modern league with stats, coasting on easy rules. None of them would have made it in the 70's or 80's, or MOST of the 90's...
Peyton is a one-timer. In that no one will ever do what he did again. The NFL has gotten softer, and Peyton, though he didn't play during the 'rugby' years, put up with a lot of pain, anguish and hatred from fans. I'm glad for him. He is and always will be the greatest QB to ever suit up.
Ridiculous statement
5 MVP'S and 7 all pro's in 10 seasons is incredible. He snubbed Brees in 09 of MVP, while he was snubbed in 06 by Brees's all pro selection. You could argue he deserved the MVP in 05 & 2012.
no way AP had the best rushing season of the decade
@@keidrinwilliam3085 He did. And the Vikings squeaked in to the wild card with 10 wins and Manning led the Broncos to 13 wins and home field advantage. If you replace Peterson with Manning, who wins more games? The answers Peyton Manning, which makes him more valuable.
@@chicagodude8888 Of course it's easier for a QB to win MVP of the league, that position has the most impact of any position on winning games in any sport besides the pitcher in baseball. Hence why the Cy Young award is separate from the MVP.
A.P. had every right to win MVP in 2012 when you look what he dragged to the playoffs, especially given a half decent QB.
As for 2005, the MVP should've been cut into 5 pieces for the Seahawks O-Line, with the 2 biggest pieces going to Hutch & Walter.
@@slimypickle19 So then why would a running back who granted, had a year for the ages deserve the award over Peyton Manning, who's more impactful and immediately turned a below average Bronco team to 13 games and home field advantage, with the great efficiency and the A/NYA plus leader of the NFL? The best statistic to evaluate a quarterbacks performance. What Peterson did was amazing but put Peterson on the Broncos and Manning on the Vikings, who wins more games?
The left side of that Seattle o-line was the best I've seen in my life. There's only one MVP and you can make a very compelling case for Manning over Alexander. Mouris Morris could've put up 1,500 yards behind that brick wall. Tomlinson was deserving of his 06 MVP so no argument on my part there.
Nah AP 2012 season was legendary he had more rushing yards than ponders passing yards in alot of games they played in 2012.
As great as Peyton is, this should tell you how hard a trophy to get is.
Everything has to go perfect or imperfect
Destiny is real
It's crazy. It really puts into perspective how insane it is that Brady has 7.
@@bumponalog5001 he had very little if anytjing to do with the furst 3 superbowls all he had to do was manage games thats it... hell the filed goal kicker was the leading imdividual scorer and he constantly had the #1 defense in the league... hell the year brady missed the entire season the patriots only had one less win with a backup quarterback than they had on average with brady..
@@richardgrace5043 didnt the 2008 pats went from 17-0 to 11-5 and was second in the division and then missed the playoffs.
Manning is top 3 of all time, easily
@@HoodGon Tom Brady was hurt that year imbecile
The greatest ever. He made everyone around him a super star
Very thankful for the joy that Peyton brought to my football-watching years and glory for my hometown. Truly an amazing sportsman.
Peyton’s my favorite player ever. The Seattle SB still hurts, from the first play. I’m so happy that he went out with a ring. Him, his dad, brother and now nephew are QB’s. Arch’s IQ could become out of this world, I’m rooting for him.
Same. I feel like from the first snap in the SEA Super Bowl fate was not on their side.
@@tomhernandez7394 the 20-3 loss to NE and the 43-8 loss against SEA shows that you can be the GOAT offense but an insane defense wins football games.
He had already won a superbowl with the colts prior to that loss lol
The Verstappen of QBs maybe?
@@tomhernandez7394 I feel this way but except for the next one at the one yard line
What’s crazy about 2013 is Denver had a really good running game as well and Peyton still broke all the passing records
I think you have to say the running game was good BECAUSE Peyton broke all the records. The defenses had to try and stop Manning, leaving a gaping hole in run coverage.
With a noodle arm too
@@mgene8093 Not is 2013, that was 2015... In 2013 he got the HGH shipped to his house for his... uhem... wife...
Team didn’t barely saw third down.
I'm not scrolling through all the comments to see if it was mentioned, but the Colts were not on a 12 year playoff drought in 1999 lol. They had an AFC championship appearance in 96 against the steelers and were 1 play away from the SB with Harbaugh, and if memory serves, they went back to the playoffs the next year with an early out. Other than that, this video was an excellent showcase and I very much appreciate it! Peyton = 🐐
The Colts were 3-13 in '97.
Yeah. The SB win in Indy was also overlooked somehow. Too bad... good vid.
@@drobinson8158 it’s at 8:29
I remember that play. I believe Aaron Bailey caught that damn ball personally. But because instant relay wasn’t in play at the time. That’s why Pittsburgh went to the Super Bowl instead. But I digress😊
@@timothyheimbach3260& that’s why Dey gotten #16 from Tennessee. Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh🤪
I am a devout, die-hard, scream at the TV Patriots fan. A 30-year old grown man who was enamored with Tom Brady from the time he was a small child.
I despised Peyton. But watching the history back brings tears to my eyes. He truly was unbelievable. The memories were made because BOTH were so unreal.
So thank you Peyton. I'm sorry there were so many Ls, but this story ended with a W for sure.
The pats were always a thorn in Peyton and Indy’s side, until he finally was able to get by and get that ring. I feel like if Indy built a better defense he’d have more rings, the pats built the ultimate roster and were unstoppable at points. I have to admit, the rivalry and the games when Peyton and Brady were on the field though are some of the best in nfl history
I'm the opposite. The more I try to understand Tom Brady and what made him great, the more I respect the dude
Truly legends, the 2 best qbs of all time. Tom Brady is still playing though so he might end up number 1 by the end.
He had a winning playoff record vs Tom brady so there couldn't have been that many L'a
@@Coldoroki In many of Peyton's postseason failures, his defense did fine...it was his softness and prissiness that killed them.
Peyton and Eli are basically the opposite when it comes to their careers. Peyton was amazing in the regular season, but was bad in the playoffs. While Eli was bad during the regular season, he was electric when he made the playoffs.
That's to simple. If you say mannings bad in the playoffs then you'd say bradys terrible because brady never played better than Manning against the same playoff team in the same playoffs. Wins or losses aren't a qb stat.
@@campete8124 uhh the colts in 2014
Manning wasn’t bad in the playoffs, that’s unfair.
@@jrad410 except 1 of 5 years. And that year Manning played the colts with an injury. What about the first 4 times against 07 chargers, 09 ravens, 10 jets, and 12 ravens. Manning takes it 4 to 1
both won 2 Superbowls.. so what opposite are you talking bout, willis?
In early Madden, he is the only qb that audibles to 10 plays before snap
Watching him pick defenses apart when he was in the zone was a thing of beauty.
I always had to listen to the older generation talk about the great quarterbacks that I never got a chance to see. But thanks to Payton, I can now say the same thing to the next generation of football fans. I got to see the GOAT in action live!
Dominant in the regular season and man was annoying to play against in Madden lol. However defenses seemed to catch up with him in the playoffs. He’s been shutout in the playoffs and held to a lot of low scores. Still one of the all time greats.
All statements you made are true.
Not too bad considering his role is the hardest to play in football
Take out Marvin Harrison's targets and Manning's Colts playoff numbers actually look pretty good. Not saying whose fault it is.
@@ntgr87 just say it. Colts fan since 99, and Marvin was such a weak playoff receiver. Wish they traded him for TO or got someone like Andre Johnson to combat the Patriots big corners in those early 2000s playoff games. Watch that 2003 afc championship game, all the receivers were in the dirt besides pollard because he was the only physical one to put up a fight back.
Lol Peyton in madden 06 was insane 🥲
As a Patriots fan, I miss Peyton. Those games he played against the Pats are still the best I’ve seen. Any other team for the most part, you knew how the game was going to go… not against Peyton. No one has run a offense like Peyton, ever.
And I'm from Indy in yes we miss him going up against the Pat's great games
Easily, the 2 best teams in the NFL for several seasons. Everyone knew the real super bowls were between the Colts and Patriots.
Nah you miss him cause he gave y’all easy wins.
The best matchups and games of all time. Truly a golden era
@@AltezzaGang15 h Easy wins? The colts were the only team that actually seemed to have a chance to beat those dominant patriots teams. They were stacked from offense to defense, and the best coaching in the league. The colts weren’t as good obviously but they were the one team that actually had a chance against them in every matchup.
Great video, really well done
What makes Payton great is that he lived up to the highest of expectations. That’s extremely hard to do
Peyton was like Luka Doncic in that he had to lead mediocre teams to heights otherwise deemed impossible to reach. If he had teams as talented as his Broncos teams his entire career & Brady had to lead Peytons Colts every year, we would be having a VERY different discussion on the GOAT.
Growing up as a Packers fan when Brett Favre was around I always admired Peyton. I thought he played a lot like Favre with his gun slinging throws. I was always rooting for him when the Packers didn't make it and it was tough seeing him dominant season games only to lose in the playoffs.
Those two players says a lot about QB's who grew up in Louisiana and Mississippi. I was a Favre fan for years. I was a Cheesehead from Tennessee because of him.
..
Peyton and Favre do...do *not* play similarly.
@@Eidenhoek I am referring to their gun slinger playstyle and ability to call audibles successfully
@@Phrozenpoopy Peyton was a gunslinger? Huh. I'll have to watch more of his stuff.
@@Eidenhoek definitely...he had a rocket of an arm very similar to Favre but Peyton was more considerably more accurate
This video was so well done it brought tears to my eyes
He was absolutely dedicated, and continually put in the work. Aka legend.
He went out a champion despite it all, poetic.
Tom Brady might have all the records and rings, but as far as I'm concerned Peyton is the greatest of all time. Nobody left me awestruck the way Peyton did. His mind for the game was unmatched and the way he could dismantle any defense was immaculate. The fact that he's not coaching is a travesty.
Any defense?
just saying Tom would never lose 43-8 in a superbowl
@@HoodGon Well, if you ain't cheating, you're not trying hard enough.
@@jonlanier_ Tom not once ever cheated in his career that was debunked so much is crazy
@@jonlanier_ also Tom would never throw 3 tds to 7 ints in his post season run then get bailed out by defenses in both of his Superbowls,lets not forget Tom had WAY less offense weapons his whole career then Peyton and when Tom does get some weapons on offense he throws 50 tds or in the 40's
My favorite player, QB, Colt. This man is the reason I’m the football fan that I am.
Prior to Manning, the Colts were a perennial doormat in the AFC. He was the only first round quarterback they chose to actually live up to the task at hand. Only then they were a contender instead of an also ran. Probably one of the most intelligent and gifted quarterbacks to ever play the game
Mostly true. The colts were a dropped pass from the Super Bowl and they lost the 1995 AFC Championship game on a dropped Hail Mary in a game they played better in vs the Steelers.
Luck was a perfectly fine QB on a horrible team with horrible management and coaching. Not as good as Payton by any means, but he was a top 5 QB ever season.
@@drsch What year? Colts had top 10 defense, top 3 special teams and top 3 offensive line his last year. Dude never had Mannings heart. And despite the BS narrative, Luck actually ranks in the top- 25 of least sacked QB ever on a per game basis in the NFL. Dude never slid and took on linebackers until his final year.

Peyton Manning will always be my favorite QB of all time.
I've watched tons of highlights of him. The only game I ever watched of him live was his Super Bowl 50 with the Broncos. The only thing I remember from watching that game live is that he was retiring. Really do wish I could've watch him more live
I watched every game he played with the Broncos and he was AMAZING with his ball placement. Greatest QB ever
Those mid to late 2000s Colts games were a thing of beauty. The NFL isn't the same without him.
It was awesome to watch him, but so painful all of the times he fell apart in the post season. Drove me nuts.
@@Starlesslight he didn't fall apart much. His passer ratings in the last playoff losses with the Colts was 90 plus. His play in the playoffs was right where it usually was against winning teams in the season.
The problem was how much the Colts relied on his play to win. Brady can go out there throw 2 tds to 3 ints against the Chargers and the Pats could still win by 2 scores. Peyton could play the same chargers throw 3 tds to 2 ints and lose to a last minute smashmouth drive by the chargers who lost their probowl QB and mvp calibre RB during the game.
I remember his 2013 season and it’s crazy to see him In the Super Bowl completely choke
Peyton was so much fun to watch, unless he was playing against your favorite team that is! Plus most years you could win fantasy football if you had him, especially in 2012 and 2013!
Brady, Manning, Roethlisberger. Man what a time it was
That was a wonderful tribute to the Sheriff. Very inspirational. Thank you
Peyton Manning, for my money, is the greatest football player to ever grace a football field. No one can convince me otherwise. I watched every single game he played starting his junior year at Tennessee.
Then you either fell asleep in most of his playoff games, or you are blind. Sorry to say that... To be the greatest QB ever, leave alone football player across all positions, you need to be great against the great teams... and he wasn't... Maybe Jerry Rice was the best ever, or Lawrence Taylor, or... but for sure it was not choking Nervous-in-the-playoffs-PM.
Without a doubt, the first player I would ever pick to start an NFL team is.... Peyton Manning.
@@FoxxyBrown1111 lol wrong
You’re off your meds
@@FoxxyBrown1111 you know Peyton had a winning record against Tom Brady in the playoffs head-to-head?
That 41-0 loss to the Jets not only was the Colts' last shutout playoff loss, it lit a fire in Peyton. He dedicated himself to studying the D on every team he faced, just to find that one weakness and use it against them. The zone blitz worked twice against him, just like the Giants and Eagles with their pressure front line. The Seahawks even got to him with the Legion of Boom. It's why Belichick and Brady were there for his Hall of Fame induction, because Peyton didn't quit against the Patriots. Just watch his comeback against the Bucs from 10 years ago. Not even the best D in the league stopped him, just slowed him down for a few minutes.
Brady tossed 4 TD's against Seattle's #1 defense the next year in the SB .. I believe it was the first time a QB threw 4 TD's against Seattle's "D" in 5 years - He was also clutch - 10 point comeback against Seattle in the 4th was the biggest 4th quarter comeback in SB history until Brady topped that against Atlanta in the SB
Coming from a gator and a jagaur fan. I just remember the hype of Peyton coming into NFL and I,always said he never beat the Gators. Then having Season Tickets with Jags I just learned to,appreciate this guy and how good he really was. He would pick defenses apart! Man he would set his offense up so quick then wouldn't hike ball until 2 seconds to go.
I used to get so frustrated waiting for them to snap the damn ball haha
I’ll say this, he was definitely an intelligent audible play caller 🔥
“OMAHA!”
@@BliXXardStorm APPLE APPLE APPLE.!
He was fr calling his own plays out there. Radios in helmets showed up in 1994 and Peyton used his to call packages rather than sitting there taking hand signals from the backup QB, he was constantly on the move telling the coaches who to give him and barking a play out no huddle. I actually think Peyton had too much power and brains for his own good. His offensive coordinators were always patsies. There was never some brilliant creative guy on the other end of that mic telling Peyton “nah listen to me I got an idea”
I highly respect Peyton's mentality, even with all the playoff struggles.
Crazy how our brains work. His first couple playoff embrassments probably stuck around in the back of his head during every playoff game after until it became a repeating pattern. It's hard to mentally shake things like that, but he did eventually the second half of his career
He was always my favorite player, granted some playoff games that hurt but he really changed how QBs were playing. Thanks to Tom, Peyton has 2 SBs out of 4 and probably would of made at least 2 or 3 more if it wasn't for Tom lol
I went back and watched a couple games from 2006 -09 and this dude was the best QB I have ever seen.
Bro. You need to go back and watch 2004 and 2005. Those were the real legendary colts teams, as a colts fan. That 06 team wasn’t nearly as good. 04 and 05 they were BLOWING people out. In 04 they had 3 receivers with over 10 touchdowns.
@@FalseHope61 Peyton is the best QB I have seen.
Shame he never had a true dynasty.
And that's not even his prime.
Prime Peyton was 2002-2006
Life long colts fan here, Payton made me fall in love with the game. He’s definitely my goat
Greatest regular season QB ever imo. Just lit everyone up all the time.
I miss Peyton Manning, he was a good quarterback!!! He was the G.O.A.T!!!
Peyton was a pleasure to watch in the NFL.
I grew up in BFE Indiana, and come sundays you could guarantee the town would be quiet bc everyone was watching Peyton perform at nearly an artistic level of play that none of us had ever seen before, certainly not coming from the Blue Horseshoe. I remember when he moved to Denver and even after his first great season their people said it would be a fluke and he couldn’t physically sustain to do it again, then in the first game he played I was down big with Peyton to play in fantasy and he put up the biggest numbers I’ve ever seen in a football game. It was like playing your little brother in Madden, he was just torching the defense with no let up at all. Truly the greatest player I’ve ever had the privilege to witness orchestrate an offense. Truly a savant under center.
The house Manning built. That standing ovation he got when he came back to Indy as a Bronco tells it all.
Ive been watching the Colts since George, Chandler, Harbaugh, etc, just waiting, hoping for the Colts to become what Manning made them. That was the pinnacle. I had high hopes for Luck but those were short lived. Nowadays, It's hard to watch the Colts anymore.
Blue Horseshoe? Please...Johnny Unitas set the standard. And Bert Jones was more talented. Peyton played a soft, effeminate style.
Nonstop sports goated
Fr
Indiana born and raised and it was so cool to get a once in a lifetime quarterback for your home team. Peyton was great.
I really enjoyed this video.
That last Brady - Manning matchup is still one of the greatest defensive games I've ever witnessed live
That should have been the Superbowl. Not that SB 50 was bad (I'm a Broncos Fan so I'm more than fine with the outcome), but this last Manning Brady game was just different.
As someone who watched prime Peyton, he was the goat. There was nothing like turning on Colts football on Sundays, knowing the sheriff was gonna find a way to make it happen 💙
As someone who has watched peak tom brady, he is the GOAT and youre clearly a moron
He was nowhere near being the goat. And the Sheriff is just about the dumbest nickname of all time. When you hear the term 'sheriff', you picture a strong, silent, traditional guy, like James Arness...NOT a prissy, soft guy like Manning who never shuts up.
Peyton was my childhood teenhood and adult years glad u saw all his achievements
Thank you for this. Stating the year he went to college and other occasions would have made it the video even better.
As a pats fan I have nothing but respect for Payton. One of the greats.
Peyton Manning was funny as hell on Saturday Night Live. "Cause I'll KILL a snitch. Any time, any place, I don't give a.. a-yo, 5-0" and the pee-wee football team he's coaching ducks under the bleachers while Manning puts his hands in his pockets and starts whistling.
That story was just legendary. Peyton is truly one of the goats💯
One of the best... He and Brady had some amazing battles.
Brady threw die 120 yards in that first super bowl victory. No one at the time was comparing Brady to Manning.
154, but yes
Brady clutched up Peyton would have choked and Brady beat him not that long after that in the playoffs bud Bradys been better
Yeah because Tom was in a rushing first team and had no HOF weapons like Peyton that’s until he became clutch in his 2ND and 3RD SB and even the 1ST too Tom was more consistent and balanced as a QB
As a Ravens fan, I've always loved Peyton. A real Field General, and a truly elite QB who knows how to play the chess match of high level football. Always was a worthy opponent, mad respect.
As a colt fan I loved watching peyton and Ray lewis go against each other. We will never see another match up like that again.
As a steelers fan
I even liked the ravens when they beat Peyton in the playoffs repeatedly
I'm no Payton fan. But I give credit to a hof player. He is a true coach on the field. He can read defense and make changes. He was more fun watching him scramble. Have you seen him run. Well. At least he can throw. True legend.
In 2001 at the tinder age of 11 marvelous Marvin Harrison came to my elementary school in phila. I then decided to follow his team and make them my squad. Peyton manning was like a football Dad to me. Andrew luck was like our brother. I miss the good old Star Wars days knowing we were super bowl contenders.
I could watch and read about Peyton Manning all day. All time favorite athlete
Manning also set the record for passing touchdowns by a rookie at 26. Why would you leave that out?
Because he still had one of the worst rookie seasons ever. Y'know what other rookie passing record he broke? Interceptions by a rookie, he had 28. He had the worst efficiency in the league that year and hurt the team more than he helped.
but the interceptions were more important. having more ints than tds at any number is always bad unless ur maybe have an elite running game but even then people only care about passing for qbs
He also set the record for most Picks for a rookie that still stands today at 28
@@isaiahcrowell3578yeah I watched the video too buddy thanks for regurgitating stats
@@dominicdecoco7950 I knew that long before this video
Loved watching the Manning era Colts. He was different.
Speechless was right about that first jets playoff game I remember we went to champps and got there early as hell to get a table so excited and then we laid that epic egg
Yall gotta do the story of Aaron Rodgers
The goat 🐐
The best QB to ever do it in my eyes
You better go see an optometrist 😂
Blind then
Peyton was the first QB to run no-huddle during regular part of the game... just so cerebral and dominant
That was done by teams in the 80s. I can't remember who but I think it was either the bills, Bengals or chargers. The no huddle was to wear out the defense faster
I grew up with the Baltimore Colts with my Dad, when they left Baltimore and became the Indy Colts we began to enjoy Football once again. Once again I purchased so many Colt Collections. When Peyton left I was finished with the Colts!! Peyton was a true player who enjoyed playing football!!!
STEVE YOUNG and Peyton are my two favorite NFL players of all time and I always had Peyton as the greatest qb of all time… until I watched that incredible comeback win in 2017 SuperBowl by Brady. Damn you Brady, for making me choose you as the greatest 😂😂😂😂😂
I know! At some point Brady turned from "he'll dink and dunk the ball all the way to the endzone" into Roger freakin' Staubach on steroids. The Randy Moss year made it obvious he could just crush it.
There's no competition. If a game's ever close, Brady turns into an alien. He is the very best, highest IQ, most clutch athlete in the history of sports. Period.
Spectacular football hero….I’m from Indianapolis and this guy was the absolute truth. That comeback against the Bucs will forever be etched in my mind as his “bitch I’m the man” game.
Really wish we could have mopped Tom and the Pats…they were his cryptonite. But hey, the GOAT is the GOAT. Eli got his ass tho!
There was a memorable late night David Letterman episode on CBS-TV [US] where Peyton was a guest. In the course of that interview, it was remarkable to hear about Peyton's road to recovery after the neck fusion surgery, as the nerves had atrophied to the point that he had no awareness of his arm when positioned behind his head. Peyton told Letterman, of his recovery process, that he had to use the reflection of a wall mirror to get a visible gauge of sense where his arm was positioned when simulating a QB ball throw.
As a Steelers fan I respect the hell out of Peyton Manning. Peyton & Big Ben had some duels over the years for sure.
The TRUE GOAT!! 🐐💯💪
my father is the biggest Denver Bronco fan you could imagine. A signed Denver Bronco helmet from John Elway in his office, flags and pendants everywhere, the whole 9 yards. and I've never seen him more happy than when Peyton Manning led us to a Super bowl win. it was ages since Denver last won a super bowl, and my father thought he'd never see them in a Super bowl again. and the childlike happiness that I saw come out of him that night when Peyton threw the 2 point conversion to seal a Super Bowl win, I've never seen it again to this day. Peyton Manning took my dad back to being a kid watching football, and to see my dad that happy was incredible. Thank You Peyton for all you've done
Being a Dolphins fan living in south Florida I didn't really watch a lot of colts games after they were moved out of the AFC east but i do remember when Peyton was really rolling and we hosted them in Miami with a very stout defense with two shutdown corners where we always played tight bump and run coverage, but for that game Jimmy Johnson said not against Peyton and we completely altered our defense to play zone and protect our CB's. To me that was the ultimate respect for a QB that Jimmy viewed as the best he had seen.
This is why I don’t write off QBs until after 4-5 seasons. Peyton had a rough start, but he just kept on going
With social media fans and fanbases are way less patient, and will write a rookie off after one season.
Imagine if the bills gave up on josh Allen after his struggles early?
I remember where I was when I learned Manning signed with the Broncos. I remember who it was that told me. I remember the exact words he said, I even remember what time it was. I haven't missed a Bronco game in 47 years, and I remember most two things: when Elway signed and when Manning signed. God is good.
Lol as a chiefs fan, let me tell you I also remember the Elway and Manning signings. The sense of doom I felt was justified both times.
@@bens5859 Thanks for your reply. I'm sure you realize the main reason Denver signed both Elway and Manning. The answer is Kansas City.
I was at the Chargers vs. Broncos game when he got called in - that stadium was electric. He is sorely missed in Denver. 😭
I was only born in ‘02 however I’ve been lucky enough to witness more history than some 60 year olds. I’ll never forget being at NRG in Houston when Peyton threw his 50th and broke the record with his 51st in that game.
The greatest football player I’ve ever watched
One of the greatest QBs of All time
Shoelace tackle by Ben is the best highlight of that colts game
The true goat In my eyes. I wish I would hav watched him more. Thank God for TH-cam and thank you Peyton for all you've done
Being down 14-6 in the Super Bowl to Rex Grossman had to be the least-stressful moment of Peyton’s entire career
As a bears fan this hurts..
