NFL MVP is Colts' QB Peyton Manning
NFL MVP is Colts' QB Peyton Manning
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/...entry_id=54954 Indianapolis Colts Quarterback Peyton Manning has scored a record 4th NFL Most Valuable Player Award, and his second NFL MVP Award in two consecutive years. According to ESPN, Manning received 39.5 votes, to 7.5 for Drew Brees and 2 for Drew Brees and 1 for Brett Favre. But the 2009 NFL Season was among Peyton Manning's best. Peyton Manning threw for 4,500 yards and 33 touchdowns in the 2009 NFL Season. And at 33-years-old, he's started in every game of his career. He led three fourth quarter comebacks this year, and during a winning stretch that saw the Colts rack up 14 straight wins. While many in the media point to his receivers and his drive as the reason for his amazing success and the 2009 NFL MVP, the other reason, the main one, is his ability to read NFL defensive coverages and determine how best to attack them and the freedom the Colts offense gives him to do this. Peyton Manning's success is a testament to the idea that the quarterback, not the coach, has the best feel of the game. It's something that may have missed Minnesota Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress and caused his arguments with Quarterback Brett Farve. In the Colts Offense, Peyton Manning is given three plays to pick from and at times, he changes the play at the line of scrimmage. Moreover, Peyton Manning's throwing motion is worthy of study. He carries the ball high, near his ear, thus reducing the time it takes for him to throw a pass. It's in stark contrast to legendary Dallas Cowboys Quarterback Roger Stauback's wind-the-arm-back, then-bring-it-up-to-throw long developing motion that NFL defensive backs would take advantage of today. That major key to Manning's success also shows how far the pro football passing game has evolved from the 1970s. Peyton Manning's MVP award is the result of a technical understanding of the game, use of textbook passing mechanics, coaches who have developed a state-of-the-art offense, tutored him in its operation, and let him run with it. That's a formula for constant success. |

Why all the Manning hate?
I realize a lot of people slobber all over the guy like he has the cure for cancer... and everyone has cancer. That said, the guy is humble, can laugh at himself, and really is a damn good QB. I'm missing something here. |

Just kind of a given, most years.

He is the one great QB who I would love to just sit with, have a drink and shoot the shit. He seems more down to earth and real than any other. That being said, in the playoffs, he has failed to produce. It's really as simple as that.

I agree. But, as I've said in the past, another ring, and he's not just in the GOAT discussion, he's the GOAT discussion.

GOAT isn't simply about numbers, it's about peformance, in the regular season, in the playoffs, and especially in the clutch, and no one was better than Montana. And understand this, I have never liked Joe Montana, even as a Chiefs QB.

And two of those wins on the way to the SB were games he tried as hard as he could to give away, including, what was it?, 3 interceptions to the Chiefs.

One would think that he took a three step drop and threw a rocket at a kids head. |

Would I want him as my QB? You bet your ass I would. But his playoff performances over the years would have pissed me off royally. However, he still has a chance to correct that, and honestly, I wouldn't bet against him with any comfort.

But he's a huge tease that rarely gets it done when it counts. I think the actual venom comes from him beating our asses. |
