Why Peyton Manning will be the best QB ever if he wins the Super Bowl:

1. In other words, he piled up a bunch of MVP awards and then choked in the playoffs or Superb Owl.

[El Supremo]

2. Johnny Unitas had three MVPs before the Super Bowl era.

But that still puts him only at a total of five.

3. You forgot to add in championships and MVP's of Starr and Unitas when

it was just the NFL championship. Starr had five NFL Championships prior to the Superb Owl.

[El Supremo]

4. No. Starr had 3 NFL Championships before the SB.

And that would place him at 6 total and no chance at 7, like Peyton does.

9. Superb Owl?

I was going to troll this group with loads of Superb Owl footage, but then Sheffield Wednesday lost to Shrewsbury Town in the FA cup.

5. Meh!

I'd still take Montana, Elway, Brady, and maybe even Young. In fact, i'd take Marino ahead of Manning if he was playing on a team with a defense and a running game, which he only had one year.

Also, i think these numbers don't measure cool in a crisis. The first 3 guys i mentioned didn't tighten up in the clutch. Manning's overall playoff record is not as impressive as those of the other guys. (Well, maybe i'm overrating Elway a bit since his teams got killed in a couple SB's.)

6. What if he leaves the game when they're down and Osweiler leads the comeback?

Would he still be the greatest in your mind?

[El Supremo]

7. He's the greatest already.

He broke Faver's TD and games won records. He's also the richest.

8. So your OP is a little disingenuous, since you don't think MVP's and SB's matter.

It's all about salary, TD's and games won, for you.

[TBF]

10. I don't think those MVP awards stack up equally to

Joe Montana's superbowl wins. He was a fantastic QB - I'll admit even better than Favre or Starr.
