They drafted him (sort of), and he was the franchise. And of course, as history would show, he went on to define them.
This donk team is different. Manning made all his hooplah as a colt. I don't hate the colts. I don't like them, but its different. They haven't been in our division. So, while I still hate the donks, Manning doesn't define them, so my hate with him at the helm is less. Make sense? Probably not, but I feel sort of the same way.
In '97 and '98, it was gut wrenching to watch Elway's broncos hoist the trophy. Now, it's not the broncos, its Manning. It's just not the same.

Lol, Manning hasn't hoisted anything yet. He still has to play the most dangerous team in the NFL right now, a team with a defense that could put his lights out if you know what I mean.
The only thing the Manning led Broncos have done is position themselves one game from the championship, that is all. If they lose it will be hilarious.
