NFL forum season: Winners & Losers

[FYM]

To be fair I believe a lot more than 50% of the board picked the Broncos

Still, if Brady could have kept his record and you would have been eliminated by any other QB it would have been better, right?

Losing to Manning sucks sure. But at least this year, they broke all the records, had the complete package of a team etc etc, so that the Pats were underdogs for once. I mean, it always sucks losing, but would I have rather lost to Philip Rivers? Eh, put Philip Rivers on the Denver team and it wouldn't have been as bad. But if we lost to the Chargers at home, that would have been even more disappointing because I would've thought we had a better shot than in Denver, where Brady sucks worse than any other place.

tl;dr: Normally yes, I'd rather lose to other teams than Manning. For regular season games, beating Manning is always a good time.

Edit: And then I read down and Mono says the same thing as me in half the space. :smh:

I'm not even a Manning fan. In fact earlier in his career I used to root for him to fail but I grew up and realized that he is the best NFL player I had the chance to see live and saw all the heat he got for his team not winning it all (most of which was undeserved) and started to want him to do well.

You of all people should learn to respect Manning, he's kinda in the same situation Lebron used to be.

Who says they don't respect Manning? Obviously top 5, one of the best etc etc.

Why aren't you calling out Hi-Fi for not respecting Brady?

lol nvm, Manning is "objectively" better. Objectively in which way?

Like... in the amount of rings they have?

I've said he's a surefire first ballot HOFer and maybe a better overall passer than Manning. I've just always considered Manning the better overall package, more transcendent artist QB, in that Brady will always be in Belichick's shadows. Manning and Belichick are like Lombardi and Unitas imo, with Brady the Bart Starr. That's no insult btw. I've given Brady lots of begrudging respect on here. I just like to get you guys upset, but I just think Manning is more unique and iconic, even after brutal moments in playoffs.

I never read him wrote that Manning is a top 5, one of the best, etc etc. All I saw him post is chocker, fivehead, etc etc.

Because I never saw that "system QB" post that has you guys all hipped up and because it doesn't fit my agenda.

FWIW, Brady is the second best NFL player I saw in my life.

Objectively like in CMP %, yards per CMP and QB rating. You know, things that actually work to compare QBs as individuals.

I was just yanking your chain. I mean, sure, the numbers are better for Manning, but I don't think you can just look solely at numbers and determine a "best" QB. How do Montana's numbers stack up to Manning's, for instance? Or Favre's?
