they look a lot bette than they are because manning makes them look better. look at this tightend, jake tamme , his first game starting for the colts, although he didnt have dallas clark numbers, he looked real solid. manning makes people look good. i do agree though with everything else u said about how his postseason numbers r not that great, and he is prob the best REGULAR season qb of all time.
There's no doubt he makes players look better but all that talent around him makes his job alot easier too. Some of the things I saw Collie and Garcon do last year were NOT b/c of the QB. That was big tiem talent that slipped through the cracks. Peyton is a great player, one of the best ever but I think people focus too much on reg season fantasy #s and ignore his poor play in the biggest games including throwing away SB XLIV and it bothers me how he is being celebrated for playing one game w/ Clark and having to rough it w/ guys like reggie wayne and Garcon. What e has now is as good as Brady has had his entire caree w/ the exception of '07 and '09.
