Manning struggles mightily against teams that play a physical D.

If the timing in their offense is disrupted, and Manning starts to take a couple hits, he gets rattled and starts just making bad throws and bad decisions, which is why I refer to him as a pussy, and call his MVP award the Most Vaginal Player.

I've decided I need to expand on this a bit.
All QBs make mistakes when they get pressured.
However, using Green to illustrate the difference, or at least my perception of the difference, what Manning does is he gets gets rid of the early, so as not to take the hits.
Green, on the other hand, will hold on to the ball as long as he can, slide around in the pocket, and make his throw at the very last minute in an attempt to make a play.
