It would have sucked to see Rex win a ring. He could be an analyst on ESPN like Trent Dilfer 10 years from now and talk about what it takes to be a Super Bowl champion QB
at the time, I seriously would rather have eaten a pound of fresh dog than see Peyton win that ring. Looking back now, I've got more respect for Peyton and the Colts than any other Pats rival, so I'm happy he got his ring.

I used to "hate" the Colts but I don't anymore. It is probably because Manning is my second favorite QB behind Brady. I hate all our divisional rivals, the Broncos for the years they owned us, and the Steelers. That is for the AFC.
Peyton > Brady
Stick 'em in the mouth!
Wouldn't you have been like three years old when Elway won his Super Bowls?
I was 8 and 9 when he won them. I already learned to hate the Chiefs and Broncos by then.
He isn't the greatest QB but he is a great one.
Joe Montana
I only saw Joe play at the end of his career. But Peyton is clearly the best I have ever seen play.
This.
But honestly, I've also got more respect since he finally gutted out a win in the playoffs. I don't hate him or disrespect him... as much.
I'm not sure if I "hate" the Colts. I mean, I don't want to see them beat us, and I hate losing to them. But I don't want them to go, say, 4-12, like I do the Dolphins or Jets.
He's had his bad moments, but he's also had his great clutch moments. Did you expect him to throw 400 yards and 4 tds against the Bears in the SB? If the Saints would've made it he would have.
Wayne is up there with Harrison, but he's never caught 140 balls while having another legit #1 reciever on his other side.

The fact that Manninng could arguably be the greatest QB ever, makes me think that the NFL needs its Michael Jordan.
They do. His name is Jamarcus Russell.
Only the NBA and NHL can have those figures. (And both do. Jordan and Gretzky.)
Baseball and football rely too much on teamwork for their to be one player who obviously dominates above all. (That's why Babe Ruth is considered the 'best' player... he was one of the greatest hitters of all time, and a great pitcher for awhile too.)
I can't think of any other sport (well maybe baseball with the pitcher but I don't really follow baseball that much) where a team relies so much in only one player. You can have the best players in an NFL team but if your QB sucks, chances are that 90% of the time your team isn't going to win.
Brett Favre is the Michael Jordan of the NFL. Or should I say, Michael Jordan in the Brett Favre of the NBA.
^Michael Jordan would never have a 29 interception season.
No one has run the full package of the Single Wing. When they start really implementing the passing portions, it will bloom. To defend the run section, you need gap discipline, MAJOR gap discipline. That means if you master the passing part, there is no team in the league that can run the dime DB package on you. If they do, you run 10-15 yard chunks on them. Then, when they finally start honoring the line of scrimmage, you pass into a sparse 4 man DB backfield. It's one formation where you can run ANY kind of play: a dive, a pitch, a short pass, a long bomb. There's no tip off, and you're not committed to the called play. How do you set up a defense when the formation is the same on every play? The Single Wing FEEDS upon over aggressive defenses, and that's what's in vogue today. It forces you to play a very vanilla, plain conventional defense.
