If Peyton Manning was such a great QB he wouldn't need

[LiberalFighter]

the players he throws the balls to or hands off. He wouldn't need his offensive line.

He wouldn't need the defensive team to prevent the opposing team from scoring when they have the ball.


If the offensive team was not designed the way it is that allows Peyton to do what he does the team would be shit.

1. If he was such a great QB, his team woudn't be able to win without him.

2. I guess that's a question of effort.

I think the Colts game plans for this season revolve around getting LUCK(Y).

4. As the losses continue to pile up, one really has to wonder...

and although I don't think it has been a problem to date, perhaps the NFL should consider moving to a lottery system for the first few picks in the draft.

5. I think they need to strongly consider it for the first roud...

On a side note, this may be Manning's best MVP campaign. Sure he's had some great seasons, but this year you can see how valuable he really is.

6. There Should be a Lottery for the Overall No. 1 Pick Among The Top 5 Worst Teams

Otherwise, teams have a huge incentive to tank games in order to get the best player in the draft.

7. Make it the three worst and I'd agree

[HuckleB]

8. Meh.

That might matter, if there was much difference among those picks. Historically, I'm not sure that there has been much difference, however. Heck the best QB in the league right now was a 24 pick.

10. The NBA had to do that after the Rockets tanked some games one year

and ended up with Drexler and Olajuwan. I don't think it's a problem in the NFL. Chucking games in the NFL can result in serious injuries.

3. If Peyton were black, Rush would say all that and that furthermore . . .

. . . he only got the job because of affirmative action.

[Doctor_J]

9. His team is still designed that way

and it's shit without him.

Enough with the Peyton Hate-on. this season cements his first-ballot HoF cred. I used to think I would never see one better that Buck-tooth #7, but Manning is an order of magnitude better.
