Obviously he didn't have teams good enough to win the Super Bowl, or they would have won it.
Stop riding this dude. It's the same thing as Kobe Bryant. For whatever reason, the meek of the Earth hate the guy for no reason. He's a stud QB. Super Bowls throphies aren't exactly growing on trees.
If he retired today, he would still be one of the greatest QB's to ever suit up. He wouldn't be a winner or a loser, unless you asked all the morons who hate just to hate.
he wouldn't be an all-time great, no way...I don't know if it's a case of people just hatin' on the guy, but, here are some of the reasons why people do:
0-4 vs Florida in college. never won a college championship. Lost both of his High School championships.
If I'm not mistaken , he is 1-7 lifetime vs. NE.
3-6 lifetime playoff record in the NFL.
too many people consider him 'great' but looking at some HOF'ers Peyton falls short in comparison:
Staubach - 18 playoff games, 12-6 record
Plunkett - 10 games, 8-2 record.
Elway - 14-8 ( 22 games)
Aikman - 11-5
Starr - 9-1
Brett Favre 11-9
Tom Brady 10-1
some NOT so great QB's:
Donovan McNabb 7-5
Mark Brunell 5-6
Kordell Stewart 5-4
Steve McNair 5-4
Trent Dilfer 5-1
Jake Delhomme 5-2
Drew Bledsoe 4-3
Ben Roethlisberger 4-1
Vinny Testaverde 3-3
Peyton Manning 3-6
A.J. Feeley 2-2
Matt Hasselback 2-2
Dante Culpepper 2-2
Michael Vick 2-2
Chad Pennington 2-2
Jake Plummer 2-4
he even has a worse playoff record than Kordell Stewart!!!!
and he has the worst winning % of this bunch!!
No, `great` is not a term I'd use when speaking about Peyton Manning but thats just my opinion. He'll be a HOF'er someday but I think he's more like Warren Moon/Dan Fouts-type than a Jim Kelly or Tom Brady or Joe Theismann..
heck, Vinny Testeverde threw for a TON of yards , and might get in the HOF someday, too!
