Is Peyton Manning the greatest NFL player ever?

[ShootSpeeders]

He's the all time leader in total offense and has 5 regular season MVPs while no one else has more than 3. The big knock on him is he only has one super bowl ring while other contenders like brady and montana have 4.

 

[Wyatt earp]

No


Dick Butkus or mean Joe green was

 

[TheOldSchool]

Peyton's not even top 10.

 

[TemplarKormac]

I always thought Troy Aikman or John Elway were. But that's just me.

Nope. My vote would be for Jim Brown. The man was incredible...

But he only played 9 years. Peyton has twice that.

He has already been around for 18 years? Holy crap where does time go.

Yeah? So? You said best. Longevity doesn't equal quality. Jim Brown ran for 1300 yards a year for 9 years straight when those yards were hard as hell to get. Back when Brown played the defense tried to kill you. There were none of these rules to protect players. It was a brutal, damaging game. The fact that he made 9 years and was still able to walk is incredible.

 

[Desperado]

Peyton Manning isn't even the greatest quarterback let alone the greatest player in the NFL

 

[Stephanie]

I not sure the best. but he's up there with some of the best. Bradshaw, Montana, Elway and quite a few more

5 reg season MVPs is mighty impressive. You just hate him because he's white.

 

[Papageorgio]

Best QB's Montana, Elway, Manning, Brady, Tarkington, Blanda, Starr, Favre, Staubach.

As far as best player? I wouldn't begin to guess.

RB's Walker, Brown, Sanders, Sayers, Allen would be in the discussion.

No...unless you count "choking".

What the hell does color have to do with it, Montana, Elway, Brady, are all white. I consider Manning as one of the best but color isn't an issue.

Walker?? You mean herschel? He retired 20 years ago and he's still not in the HOF. Only made the pro-bowl twice.

 

[Toro]

No.

Montana was better.

Jim Brown
