Peyton Manning…Best Ever?
Peyton Manning won his third MVP award today. It ties him for most all time with Brett Farve (more on him in a later post). Three MVPs is a lot. He has a Super Bowl ring, and a Super Bowl MVP. He has all sorts of record. Is he the best ever? Let's discuss.
-Great skill set. To be even mentioned in the greats you have to be skilled. A given.
-True Leader. You want him on your side with the game on the line. Another key component of the greats.
-Consummate Pro. Won't say or do anything stupid.
He holds all the keys. Here is my Top Ten Best QBs of all time:
1. Johnny Unitas
I was so excited to see 'The Greatest Game Ever Played' on TV, because I got a chance to see Johnny U. And even though the game was different, his passing, his precision, his accuracy, was unbelievable. That final drive was perfection.
2. Joe Montana
He had a sense of calm about him. Throwing one of the best throws in history doesn't hurt either.
3. John Elway
Even though he took a while to win the big game, his competitive drive, his will to win were unmatched. 'The Drive' was great. His drives in the Super Bowl were great as well. Clutch
4. Dan Marino
Holds all the records. If he won a Super Bowl, he'd be number one.
5. Brett Farve
Even though he has thrown the most picks, his durability is amazing.
6. Terry Bradshaw
Sure, he had help from those Steelers Defenses. But he was great in his own right.
7. Sammy Baugh
The late Baugh was the NFL's first dual threat. And played both ways.
8. Joe Namath
Broadway Joe delivered on his guarantee. And had a great career as well.
9. Peyton Manning
By the end of his career, he will be top 3.
10. Jim Kelly
If he had won just one Super Bowl, he would be higher. But the fact he got to four straight Super Bowls is incredible.
Peyton isn't the best. By the end, however, he might be.
