Good Journalism: Boston-based WEEI admits Peyton is the best
by Brad Wells on Jan 25, 2010 2:39 PM EST
in Colts Analysis

PrintNice to see some people are finally getting it. This is from WEEI's Kirk Minihane:
But Brady has the best single season of the two, right? That plus the 14-4 playoff record plus the (for the moment at least) two extra Super Bowls is enough, isn’t it?
True, Brady broke Manning’s TD pass record in 2007. He threw 50 TDs to Manning’s 49. But he needed an extra 81 passes (over two games worth) to get to 50. Manning’s TD percentage was higher (9.9 percent to 8.7 percent, which means that Manning would have finished with 57 TD passes had he attempted the same amount of attempts as Brady did in 2007), as was his passer rating (121.1 to 117.2). Both great, great seasons, but I don’t think anyone could really state with any confidence which was the better one.
Other numbers? Well, Brady has finished in the top five in passing yards, TD passes and QB rating a combined eight times in his career. In those 10 years Manning has finished in the top five a combined 22 times.
The case is closed.
Peyton Manning is the best quarterback I've ever seen.
Still hurts to write it.
It doesn't hurt as much as us hearing for years from you jokers that Peyton Manning was a goat-faced choker who couldn't win the big one. And even though it took you seven friggin' years to come around to the obvious fact that Peyton is pretty damn good, we will give you props for at least getting there.
Next up, Cold Hard Football Facts and douches like Dashiell Bennett at Deadspin will hopefully come around. If they don't, whatever. Haters gonna hate, I guess.

Saints fan stopping by to say Congrats!
You guys played an excellent game yesterday. Manning is hands down the best QB of our era, and I look forward to seeing you all in Miami in two weeks!

Thanks and congrats to you as well.
I remember you from the MVP discussion, hopefully there’s no discussion about who is super bowl MVP. :)
And that, my friend, is why they play the game!

Congrats to NO, too!
I was pulling for the Saints last night because of everything you’ve been though the last few years. Drew Brees is a great QB and seems like a good person, too, the way he’s embraced New Orleans.
Though a really mischievous part of me would have enjoyed seeing Brett Far-vray get his geriatric butt handed to him by Gary Brackett and company.

Saints fans are apparently nicer than Jets brothars
Luckily it’ll be an epic confront between two top offenses. And luckily for the NFL, it has all the economic potential to become one of the most viewed and profitable games of their history. Besides this financial talking, let the best team win!
Quitters never win, but cheaters sometimes do
The only fans worse than the Jets fans
are the Texans fans. They are too busy crying now to bother us.

My friend in Titans country alerted me to an article in the Nashville paper this morning. It’s an article about how they also think Peyton is the best ever.

If you're the best team on the field that day, then yes you will.
Just remember, the team with the most points at the end of the game is the winner. I know, that seems pretty obvious, but you’d be surprised how some people don’t seem to get that concept when their team loses.

I don't know if I'd call this "good journalism" simply because he admits what we already know
It means that Minihane’s accurate in his judgement of Manning. But to be “good”, you have to be more than accurate; thinking otherwise means that phone books and dictionaries are good literature. Rather, you also have to spin a good narrative, and avoid things like GRATUITOUS INSULTS:
(And yes, the odds of Peyton Manning appearing in a CSI episode sometime in the next three years is 4-to-1. The odds of Cooper Manning getting his father to love him as much as he loves his other sons is still a 250,000-to-1 shot.)
Had he recalled the cause of Cooper’s exit from football, he might not be so casually offensive. And maybe he doesn’t know; who knows? But it’s still gratuitous, and still uncalled for. So sure, I see that Minihane finally saw the light on Manning’s football ability. And I’m ready to say that he finally figured out that Manning is indeed a good quarterback; that means Minihane’s got some ability to percieve reality. On top of that, it’s good that he’s willing to recount his past mistakes, like his opinion of Leaf over Manning. So he’s moving in the right direction, and deserves to be lauded for that. But I’m not ready to grant his piece the judgement of “good journalism”. Not quite yet. Not when he feels the need to pollute his article with something uncalled-for, like the above.

He's a JAG in the journalism world
and in the Boston sports media. He writes occasional columns for a radio station’s website. I don’t know that he’d qualify for any “journalism award” for a blog column, whether or not he writes good (and deserving) things about your team.

Peyton Manning
Will not go down as the greatest quarterback ever to play in the NFL. Is he the greatest? In my opinion he is.
He wrecks defenses without a valid running game. That’s Marino-esque. Oh, and he has a ring with the chance to snag another.
Sorry NFL Network, you’re all idiots.
Why won't he go down
as the greatest quarterback ever?

dont really thinks it matters
after 2006, the media was taking numbers to hop on to Peyton’s crotch. After 2007, they were all content to snuggle up to it, after 2008 he was a choker again.
If they win this year and lose next year, he’ll have trouble with 3-4 defenses played by 4-3 teams in the winter during a leap year on the 2nd weekend of the first month following a great harvest.

Why is it just a question between Brady and Manning?
Why not Brees? He’s got some pretty good numbers.

Ive always just assumed
that Brady v Manning was a debate for second place. Everytime I watch Brees play, he fills me with confidence. I’ve never seen him shaky on a big stage. He can make all the throws, he’s played on the biggest stages against the toughest opponents and he’s proven his worth every time. He’s unequestionably #1, and after this year, I dont even think Brady is visible in his rear view mirror. He’s going to carve the Colts up horribly.
I’ve got a bad feeling about it.

Are you kidding???
This guy can’t be serious!!! I love Drew Brees and what he has done for New Orleans , but you’re talking about putting him in the front of 2 of the best nfl quarterbacks in history!! Fandom has fried your brain bro. I really can’t believe anyone really thinks this is valid! Brees has had a couple of great seasons!!! Maybe if he keeps playing like he has, for 5 or 6 more years, he could be in the conversation!! Peyton is clearly THE BEST!! I’m a COLTS fan so this is hard for me to say,,,, but you can’t take anything away from Tom Brady.. And at this time, you can’t possibly say Brees is better Than Brady!!

what are you smoking?
Has Manning saved a city? Brees has.
Has Manning overcome heigthism?? Brees has.
Has Manning had to work with a crappy defense and no weapons? Brees has.
Has Manning had to play in the impossibly tough NFC South his entire career? Brees half-has, and the other half, he was in the impossibly tough AFC West, i think that makes him twice as tough as Manning.
Has Manning had to overcome personal and professional tragedy and pressure to reach the top of the game? Brees has.
Has Manning proven time and again he can make all the passes under intense pressure? Brees has.
Has Manning won even won MVP award, a Super Bowl, and received countless accolades? Brees will!
Has Manning ever french kissed a goat for money? Brees.. ha, fooled you, this one was Brady.
Look, I understand that you’re a homer, but FACTS are FACTS. Brees is the best Quarterback in the game today, and when the Saints win the Super Bowl in 12 days, he will take his rightful place as best ever.

I think that Brees will enter the conversation
after this year. From my perspective, a few more years of his consistently doing what he’s done over the past few would put him in the conversation. Peyton’s been doing it for over a decade and Brady – well, I don’t want to talk about him. But I think you can see where I’m headed with that.
That said, congratulations! I’ve always like the Saints.

Peyton is definetly better than Brady OR Brees
look at it this way, if peyton had wes welker and randy moss he would be ripping it up every game. If Peyton had a steady running game like Brees does with Pierre Thomas, and Reggie Bush, undefeated season every year
eff you we winning anyway
A.I. IS BACKKKKKKK
Oh we're good with our WRs
We don’t need a player who does his job just when he wants
Quitters never win, but cheaters sometimes do
Welker and Moss
Well…I’d take Welker, but I truly believe he’d be our third/slot receiver. But where would that leave Gonzo and Collie? Truthfully, I’m happier with our WR situation for next year than I ever have been, and that is including (brace yourself) the Harrison/Wayne/Stokely days.
Look at it:
Wayne – Possible future HOFer
Gonzo – Maybe should be third on the list but he has already proven himself in critical situations
Garcon – Already a dominant, physical receiver, and I don’t believe he’s at the top of his potential yet. Imagine another offseason working with Manning? Throw in his attitude and character…I fuggin’ love this guy. I wish I had a daughter his age so she could marry him.
Collie – Refer to game tape from yesterday.
Also, just want to put this thought out there —
Randy Moss can go kick rocks barefooted. I wouldn’t want him on my little league team. He’d bring the overall effort and attitude waaaay down.
by AbroadColtsFan on Jan 25, 2010 7:32 PM EST up reply actions
Wes Welker is more like a slot type of guy anyway....
Garcon and Collie were definitely both good surprises, no one predicted that they would be that good, and when Gonzo went down, the Colts were supposed to be doomed…. but look what happened
P.S. Is Gonzo on the IR?
eff you we winning anyway
A.I. IS BACKKKKKKK
I think you undervaluing the Colts offense
As a pats fan i can say Peyton is the best but people seem to under value the work of guys like Egderrin James, Marvin Harrison(HoF) , Dallas Clark (HoF) and getting Wayne (Stud) who peyton has had most of his career. Peyton is the best qb of the era but you can;t forget he had a great supporting on offense
thats true
but Young and Montana had great supporting casts and that doesn’t take away from them. Brady had a great supporting cast in his defense, hence the 3 Super Bowls. If anything Brees is doing the most with the least of the 3. I don’t want it to be 6-8 years from now, but when it is I think we can settle on who is the best.
Indianapolis Colts, taking focus away from my DBacks every Sunday.
The Saints are a pretty solid team all around...
You think Favre would be making stupid throws across the middle if the D wasn’t in his face all day? Also, the Thomas/Bush/Bell running machine is MUCH more effective (at least this year) than Addai/Brown/Hart/Simpson. He had success in SD too, but he had this guy named LT at his prime.
The saints receiving core, especially this year, are pretty damn good. Colston/Henderson/Shockey are no slouches. To say Brees has done more with less is quite silly. He’s got a great supporting cast.
by WaynesWorld on Jan 26, 2010 12:14 PM EST up reply actions
he is doing more with less
Manning has/had 2 HoFs, 1 All-Pro TE, and 3 Pro-Bowl caliber receivers. Brees has 3 Pro-Bowl quality receivers. Brees is statistically a little worse than Manning with less talent. So more with less is incorrect. Similar with less is probably the right word choice.

Peyton is the greatest quarterback of all time.
I can’t deny that. No one but Michael Irvin would dare argue with that assessment, because he’s clinically retarded.
That being said, I don’t think anyone will break the record Drew set this year in terms of % for completed passes. He’s easily the 2nd best quarterback in the game today. No one else comes close.
Drew can and will be a HOFer in my book when he retires, with numbers slightly below those of Peyton.
"I definitely believe in destiny, and I believe in karma and what goes around comes around. We have been on the other side of this deal probably too many times. Maybe it's our time that we start catching some of the breaks, and start being the team that wins them like this in the end." -- Drew Brees
Eh, if Brees have can play at a high level
for at least another 5 years and get his team to the playoffs more often then he has a chance.
Peyton Manning makes it Wayne on them hoes!!!!
I'm not really sure about it
Maybe Brees with some of his spectacular games will, for sure, guarantee his place among the Hall of Fame, considering his link with the rebuilding of NO and etc. But including him in a conversation about the best QB of all time is something very awkward right now. He had great seasons during the past years, has some numbers that are even better than Brady’s (who will certaintly get into the Hall of Fame, but for me he’s not a worthy player to be included on one of those “best QB of all time” talk considering his statistics), but a ring is a ring.
If you don’t break many records like Dan Marino did, you won’t be a contender to the “best QB of all time”.
Quitters never win, but cheaters sometimes do
That's Right.
Marino is still the best QB to never win the championship! And Brees is great but he certainly doesn’t belong in the best ever conversation!! Not yet atleast !
I think your bold key is broken.

I agree he is the 2nd best QB in the NFL
But he won’t come close to Manning’s numbers. No one will. He’ll be in the HoF someday but somehow I doubt he’ll be first ballot. He’s a great player yet I don’t think he’s an All-Time Great. That completion % record can be broken and probably will be in the next 5 years. Not trying to take anything away from Brees but that record will be broken.

I Heard This Guy on WEEI
last week and this is exactly what he said. Not only does Peyton (allegedly) have the face of a goat, he is the G.O.A.T. Everybody who’s honest with themselves knows this and his legacy continues to grow. It was a pleasure to watch this game on Tivo again and see the Colts wreak havoc against an excellent defensive team. Peyton is the best and a class act. In fact, Drew Brees is a class act as well, so either way we’re guaranteed to have a classy champion. No scumbags like Favre or Tom Lady as Ravens fans are wont to call him. I’ll check in later. Good luck to the Colts at South Florida!

Luck is probability taken personally, clutch is probability attributed to individuals.

How are you holding up PTB?
Can’t concentrate at work? Jittery during the day? Trouble sleeping at night? Watching too many sports-shows and listening to every single talking head praise or diss your Peyton? What a crazy two weeks, lol. Enjoy it my friend. : )
Keep the faith!
Ha!
Thanks! Its different than the first time. I couldn’t focus on anything the first time. I’m excited as hell, but able to focus a little bit. Actually all last week I couldn’t sleep because of the AFCCG. Now I’m sleeping like a baby. At least until next week, I’m sure.

It is very different from the first time
The first time was so amazing, from the way the game ended in the AFCCG all the way to the SB, you kinda just knew it was Peyton’s time and the Colts time but the nerves for me were at an all time high. This time things are different. I still feel we have a good shot at winning the game but I’m not as anxious or nervous but I’m sure once next week starts the anticipation will start kicking in and it’ll kill me lol
Hope he does and then I'm going to put it slo mo hd and send it to you.
(If I had the skillz or the time or … well we know it’s not going to happen so I’m exiting this sentence.)
I'm gonna say that next Christmas!

So, I'm watching BSPN news last night after work...
I heard Tom Jackson (one of the few guys at ESPN I actually like) say that Peyton is the best to ever play the position of QB. I started tearing up. More and more people are admiting it. It’s about friggin’ time.

I Rec You
Because all of we Broncos fans LOVE Tommy for what he’s done and he is one of the few respectable analysts on ESPN. BSPN is hilarious and of course Peyton, like Johnny in the Devil Went Down To Georgia, is the best there’s ever been.

take a gander Warren Sapp's way
gotta give him props. Intelligent and objective, about the only thing NFLN has going for it.

I like him too.
Jaws is good when he’s talking tape also.

I gotta agree with you
Not a fan of too many ESPN guys but I love Tom Jackson, he really just puts it out there and tells it like it is.
I like Tom Jackson a lot.
Too bad he’s shouted down by Chris Berman (who I only like during highlight shows) most of the time.

Skip has a very short memory.
Here’s my general playbook for Skip:
Huge Vanderbilt and Cowboys fan (don’t let the T.O. hate fool you).
Being a Vandy homer, he hates anything involving Tennesee (including it’s former QBs) and pushes anything Vandy (see: Jay Cutler vs. any other QB in his draft class).
Huge NBA fan, probably one of the few things he really knows well. I always give him some attention when he says something about that league.
On the other side, like alot of NBA fans, he dismisses college b-ball as some sort of inferior product. I never listen to his college b-ball opinions.
Here, that’s most of the things I think I “know” about Bayless.

I love CBB.
Don’t know how anybody can claim it as an inferior product to the NBA.

in his defense
he’s always been really high on Peyton in the regular season. Now that Peyton is proving this retarded notion of, its him and not necessarily the team that is underperforming, Skip is coming around.
Indianapolis Colts, taking focus away from my DBacks every Sunday.
I don't think Peyton is the best I've ever seen yet.
But he is for sure the best in the NFL right now. By the time he retires he may be the best ever.
who???
Elway, Marino, Jim kelly, Steve Young , Bradshaw , Troy aikman ? I can’t seem to think of one! Tom Brady??? I think he would be the closest after Joe Montana , But I think Peyton Still wins!!
If Peyton wins a few more SBs
I think he could go down as the best ever. I do think Peyton has carried the team on his back more because he never had the great teams behind him like a Montana , Aikman and even Brady. If Peyton had been on the 49s of the 80s or Cowboys of the 90s he might have a ring for every finger and one for the thumb.
heh
I can’t wait for Peyton to win the SB this year and everyone to say yeah but he only has 2 SB rings. Win 8 more and then maybe we can have the discussion of greatest ever.

No kidding. It’ll happen, too.

Winning SB's is a team accomplishment,
not an individual one. I will always maintain that even when Peyton wins 4 more SB’s (Hey, I can dream, can’t I?).

Could Be!
I would concede if you could tell me who you have ever seen thats better!! I was a firm believer before peyton, that Joe Montana was probably The best I ever saw! But I have to say that Peyton, in my opinion, is the better of the two

Peyton a legend in our time.
I usually don’t go in for big superlatives. I like to wait for the QB career to be over (no repeated comebacks) and judge a QB then. I have to say though, that I will probably never see another Peyton Manning in my lifetime. I’m 61 and in reasonably good health, to that’s a pretty strong statement. I just hope he can make it through to retirement without wrecking his health for later in life. He is going to be our legend, the way Marino was Miami’s, Aikman in Dallas and Elway in Denver. It feels pretty damn good to have someone like that representing us in Indy.
