Why Does Peyton Manning Get the Tebow Treatment Every Year?

[nysportsfan02]

Because he flaps his arms around and runs around at the line of scrimmage..

because he is the goat and brady is a system qb i dont care how successful he is

Number 1 nobody reads a defense like he does.
Number 2 while others are good students of the game he is a great student. No one prepares for a game as much as he does, and if you are truly a football fan you have heard of how meticulous and demanding manning is each and every practice.
Number 3 brady has had better coaches and teams. Thats why hes won more superbowls (well that and the patriots are a bunch of skeezy cheaters). Manning has won 4 mvp's though so brady hasnt done everythin peyton has.
Number 4 none of those qb's you mentioned recieve 0 credit... they are all elite qb's lol

After all this nonsense= Brady over Manning 8 days a week! Manning is sure fire HOFer without a doubt........Brady will go down as Legand!

A system QB that is a first ballot hall of famer? That is an interesting comment on your part.

I know every Bronco/Colt fan will not pay any attention to what I am about to say, but thats fine.

Why does Peyton Manning consistently receive more credit for doing exactly what other QBs do?

I am speaking of :

• Audibles at the line of scrimmage
• Being a good student of the game

and his on-field play :

• Brady has done everything Peyton has… and more
• His lack of postseason success
• Rogers, Brees have just as many rings

I am NOT saying Peyton is overrated because he is one of the best QBs of all-time. I am just curious as to why the media (ESPN and so forth) continue to praise him for doing things that plenty of QBs do.

Brady, Rogers and Brees audible just as much as Manning does but no one seems to notice.

Rogers, Brees, Brady, Ben, Eli, Ryan are all studying game film religiously and receive zero credit.

I feel like if Manning has a good season (in today's case, great season) he will ALWAYS be the front-runner for MVP even if he is outperformed (look up his last MVP and tell me who really deserved it).

The neck surgery recovery is incredible and it is an amazing story but it isn't the reason he is receiving as much praise as he is getting. He was praised and worshipped every single year before that.

- Brady has done everything and Peyton has and more? Not really, considering on both a counting basis and a per game basis Peyton has the advantage in nearly every major statistical category. Brady only has the rings over Manning, otherwise they're neck and neck.

- Lack of postseason success? He has a ring and has been to another Super Bowl, I wouldn't call that lack of success.

- Rodgers and Brees have the same number of rings, so do Trent Dilfer and Brad Johnson. What's your point? Rings mean absolute **** when evaluating players.

- If you want to **** on the media or fans for giving Peyton too much credit for the audibles go ahead, but you know why he deserves his credit? Listen to what other players say about him. Watch Ray Lewis talk about him on the NFL 100. Look up other player interviews. I remember Darrelle Revis talking about him after the '09 AFC title game and saying that by the third quarter he was calling out the defensive assignment of all 11 players on the defense regularly. Those guys are a lot smarter than us. If they say he's as good as advertised then he is.

its a great system not saying brady sucks but the system makes him a hof qb. All he does is throw to tight ends and dump of to welker i dont see what so amazing about that. Cassel went 11-5. Dont give em Randy Moss because cullpper n cunnigham both had over 30 tds with him he is a steroid to qbs stats. LLoyd just lead the nfl in yards with denver not that long ago he looks like a avg player with brady. Chad johnson was a none factor its always dink and donk to tight ends and welker. When brady numbers where avg thats when they won.

Because he waves his arms around yells and exaggerates it.

I don't get this. The media doesn't fawn over Brady, Brees, and Rodgers? Last I heard, people talk about Brady being Manning's competitive equal, that Rodgers has ungodly accuracy (and he's mobile, dammit), and that Brees is an extraordinary passer.

Peyton's near the end of his career and having an incredible comeback season--of course he's getting great media. Last year it was all about Rodgers' incredible MVP season.

I agree with what people have already said.

Rodgers, Brees, Manning, and Brady all seem to get the same coverage.

If anything, they all seem to have different strengths/differentiation from the rest.

Rodgers- Young, up and coming. Elite at everything he does. Known as the guy that can make any throw from any place on the field, in and outside the pocket.

Brees- He seems to have taken on the Farve persona, the guy you don't want with the ball in his hands at the end. Can do the unbelievable and do it unbelievable quick. Just fearless.

Manning- Seems to be the old wise man. He nots athletic but doesn't need to be because he will beat you with his mind. Always been the most cerebral QB of the bunch.

Brady- Really Brady to me has kind of seemed like a mix of all them. He can do a little bit of everything, very marketable. If anything, I'd say he is the "true" poster child of the NFL because he has sex appeal because of his good looks. Plus ESPN loves his wang because of NE.

Nevertheless, these 4 guys have constant coverage. There is no bias any which way. However, Peyton and Brady have lots of marketing coverage with their advertisements. Brees and Rodgers quickly follow up with their commercials but I definitely see Peyton and Brady in commercials or magazines the most.

I get what you're saying as far as on the field during the play, he does nothing that Brady or any other quarterback doesn't do. But he brought his Indy playbook to Denver and it has translated entirely. He is his own offensive coordinator. As far as football intelligence, I don't know that there's ever been a player that has studied the game and known it better then he has.

In addition to being an absolutely amazing player, he's also a class act off. The reason the media slobs all over him is because he is exactly what every NFL player should be. He works extremely hard at everything football related and has never done anything or been involved in anything that hurt the game in any way. He also says all the right things all the time and has never complained once. Even when being released (unfairly in my opinion) he was grateful.

As far as your comment about his last MVP award, he totally deserved that. I don't know that he was head and shoulders above everyone else, but it wasn't like he wasn't good compared to the other candidates that year

obvious troll is obvious

Petty hate

Will "god" take the Broncos any further this season than Tebow did last year? The cubbard wasn't exactly empty when Peyton arrived.
And to answer the question: no better than 50/50.

[Shlumpledink]

Tom Brady gets an enormous credit for the Patriots' success. I personally think its unfair, but I bet a lot of people would disagree with that stance. But I don't think Tom Brady wins as many championships with Peyton Manning's teams.
