I'm not sure if it'll be a fair comparison because Manning never enjoyed the kind of defense he has in Denver while in Indy.

As we saw in 2011, Peyton Manning was the only reason why the Colts were competing for Super Bowls during the Dungy/Polian era. Peyton Manning carried those teams and IIRC, the 2009 Super Bowl runner-up Colts had the 29th ranked defense that season.

IMO, the "blame" for lack of Super Bowl appearances during the Polian/Dungy/Manning era lies squarely on the shoulders of Polian and Dungy, not Manning.
