that is all
Well, we'll see how great he is...can he win consecutive MVP awards? Yes, he's got some skills, but consistency is one of the keys to greatness...
Maybe you missed this long list that Matt typed up showing thing called consistency that you speak of.
Originally posted by MbTDI: Peyton has the biggest team turnaround in league history (3-13 to 13-3 in 98-99), and the biggest 4th quarter comeback (against the Bucs).
He's well on his way to becoming the 2nd back-to-back MVP winner since... Brett Favre!
He has the TD record that most thought would stand for decades (here's a good article about the achievement), he's the 2nd fastest ever to 200 TDs in his career (behind Marino), and he's thrown for over 4,000 yards in 5 straight seasons, breaking the previous record of 4 held by... Peyton Manning. No other quarterback in league history has had more than 3.
He's on his way to breaking Steve Young's passer-rating record for the season, and he's the only quarterback in history to throw three "perfect games" (a rating of 158.3).
He entered the Hall of Fame's top 20 passer ranking in his THIRD season in the league. He owns a franchise record of six TDs in one game (and this is a franchise, lets not forget, that boasts of Johnny Unitas...) and a smattering of other franchise records.
In 7 seasons, Peyton has 216 TDs and 120 Ints (a 1.8 ratio, with 49/10 this season, a 4.9 ratio). Favre has a 1.65 ratio for his career and 1.64 for the season.
Face it... Peyton is well on his way to being the best passer the NFL has ever seen!
