When Peyton Manning retires he will become the greatest OC or Head Coach of all time. The only knock you can have on Peyton is his postseason performance, but people forget that Brett hasn't won a Superbowl or an MVP in over a decade.
Peyton manning...I can guarantee you, has had his share of Advil, full body massage's, and physical therapy to keep him in the game. I find it hilarious that people get fed up with Favre's cat and mouse game...he's a Veteran of the sport!!! he poured his heart and soul into !! he is already in the hall of fame (so is Peyton, I know) but why do we care how he handles the Media or his team...they have three QB's...if Brett dont show up, who cares (but the Vikes fans).
Peyton Manning, Drew Breeze...and the likes of the other Baby faces in the league have no clue what its like to walk in Brett's shoes (and they would tell you that) Bretts Dad wasn't a pro football QB....he had one team interested in him when he hit the draft...Peyton was being watched at 2 years old....Bret is a self made man who has tossed a pile of TD passes and has showed the utmost endurance this league has ever witnessed....I make it to the NFL as a receiver 15 years ago (and this may be just me) but I wanna play with Brett...I wanna make history with the QB that has no family history of the NFL self made
Brett Favre has thrown more TD passes inside the 5 yard line then anyone in the history of the game. Peyton Manning is and has been then premier qb in the NFL for the past 8 years.
Point being??
