Peyton was Peyton even though at the start of the season he wasn't really Peyton.
| Attempts | Comp | Comp % | Yards | Y/A | Y/C | TDs | INTs | ANY/A | DYAR | DVOA |
| 555 | 371 | 66.8% | 4002 | 7.2 | 10.8 | 27 | 12 | 6.4 | 1709 (2nd) | 36.0% (1st) |
Peyton claimed his 6th DVOA title (2000, 2003-2006, 2008) in his 11 year career, as the most valuable QB per play. His #2 finish in DYAR (total value) is his 8th top 2 finish (6 straight), 9th top 5 finish (7 straight), 10th top 6 finish (10 straight) and his 11th finish in the top 13. FO, despite being founded by a Pats fan, loves them some Peyton Manning.
Peyton is signed for four more years with cap charges of 21.2mil, 19.3mil, 15.7mil, 15.7mil. At the end of his current contract Peyton will be a 15 year vet (he's talked about playing 18 seasons) and will be 37 years old.
He's the best and he's going to be around for a good time longer.

I would love to see him get two more Super Bowl wins
but if he only gets one more, I’ll still be cool with that; I just want him to have multiple SBs. Saturday night at 9 pm central time, ESPN Classic will show Peyton’s SportsCentury episode; and right after Peyton’s, Brady’s comes on. I like the order: Peyton comes first, then Brady’s second. I think the channel is just going to be showing NFL related stuff Saturday leading up to Super Bowl Sunday.
Awesome.
Thanks for the heads up!

Another SB
I doubt any of us wants it more than he does.
But can they manage a restructuring of that monster cap hit—extend him and push it out to his theoretical 19th season… or would that land us in cap hell with $30M in dead money in 2016 (marking my 46th season of Colts fandom!)? In Polian I trust, to figure that part out.

If Peyton plays past his current contract, there’s absolutely no way Irsay doesn’t do whatever’s required to keep him. I promise that. He ressurected the franchise and would’ve provided 15 years of football that won’t be replicated or surpassed easily, if ever. Brett Favre he is not.
Jim Sorgi runs a 4.6 40. That's all I've got to say about that.
Woah
Those stats look a lot better than Sorgi’s. He must be pretty good. Lol.
Dwight Freeney will eat your children.
I sure hope this guy pans out for us one day...

i always wondered why DVOA loves Peyton so much ? i always figured it was because he is clear cut the best quarterback in history on 3rd down, plus he has a tendency to play his best against the best defenses. but then came along this year, and it seemed DVOA loved him even when he had a rather mediocre one-td-pass-only performance against the lions, or the decent-but not great performances against the chargers and Houston. is it because he still manages to kick ass on 3rd down, even when his regular stats doesn’t really reflect that?
awesome 3rd down performances make DVOA drool
