LUVTHESHOE Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 (edited) Yeah his game has flaws. He's not the most athletic QB in the world. He's not very mobile, he throws better in the pocket than he throws on the move. Those are some of his flaws.Saying he isn't a great passer isn't proclaiming a fall, it's just pure ignorance.If you are saying Jeff George has a stronger arm then say so, but having a strong arm doesn't make one a great passer. Kyle Boller can attest to that. Manning's one of the two purest passers to ever play the game with Marino and neither one threw a tight spiral more than 50% of the time. A tight spiral doesn't make for a great passer.Again, this is ridiculous and if you think Jeff George is a great passer and Manning isn't, then it's far worse than ridiculous.Fire, you should know better than to talk sense. You will receive a paragraph of stuFF for your effort. Edited November 11, 2011 by PeytonGirl name calling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe in those type of drills Peyton would score very well. However, again that doesn't mean he isn't a great QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BionicDamien Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I would say we are where we are because (1) we are missing Peyton and (2) For whatever reason the Colts made a very poor choice for the backup QB. If we had a viable backup this team is like 3-6 or maybe even 4-5 this season, however with the person manning the QB position right now the odds of us winning is not very good. And who knows...maybe that was the master plan of those in charge from the start?Of COURSE we're missing Manning. That goes back to my main point. Who's more valuable to the team? Who's more responsible for the run of success? The Polians just because they made the right choice in 1998?? %$^@$Who's responsibility is it to assess the back QB position so that we have at least a decent one? Joe Fan sure realizes that Painter is horrifying. Which raises questions for me on what Sorgi was actually capable of. If they (the Polians) think Painter is/was decent, they probably had the same misconception about Sorgi so for all we know we may never have had a decent backup QB in the Manning era. Who's decision was it to sign Collins? I mean, Manning as awesome as he is, shouldn't be the difference between 10-13 wins vs. possible 0'fer. I'm sorry, not buying it. Even with an awful QB.

BionicDamien Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Manning has a decent arm (well, had up until just recently, hope it returns!), superb vision and poise, uncanny awareness in the pocket, and the ability to maneuver under pressure and reset his balance (people mistakenly refer to this as "happy feet") almost in one motion to make a throw.Oh, and he's extremely accurate. Sounds like a great passer to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a number of things that go into being a HOF QB, you don't have to be tops in each of those things.I simply don't understand your logic. To be a successful QB, an elite QB, you better be able to put the football on point, with velocity, and on time. Throw more touchdowns than interceptions, etc. etc. Are these not attributes of a good/great passer? The difference between bad/good/great more than likely being accuracy with velocity and touchdowns vs. interceptions? I mean, Manning has thrown some poop balls in his day but they are few and far between. C'mon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manning doesn't have an exceptionaly strong arm, he can't "fire" it in there like say Elway could of even Rogers or Farve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course not, but having a rifle for an arm does not a good passer make. And mind you, he doesn't "put" his receivers anywhere, he puts the BALL where his receivers have the best chance to make a play on it. Anywhere on the field. Hence, great passer.

I don't think we should draft Luck regardless of Peyton's health and I don't think Bill Polian is as evil nor incompetent as many people claim him to be. Those are 2 opinions I hold that disagree with the majority of the "pack". Disagreeing with pack mentality does not make you a troll. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
