    well some people are idiots by saying derik anderson and drew brees come the hell on you idiots...you can say all you want but when mannings career is over he will have every record not to mention hes has a superbowl and could have more....manning will go down as the greatest ever to play...i love all the old qbs unitas elway marino young montana but this is a different era.. if you dont think playing football was easier back then your a joke...today there are guys who way 300 pounds and are 6'6 running the 40 in under 5 seconds, not to mention strength these guys can out bench press any player from back then...just think about it whos the best with all that in consideration.....peyton runs his own offense he calls all the shots, he throws over 4,000 yards a year for like the last six years, he did have the td record tell brady took it not to mention the year peyton threw those tds he didnt play the last three games other then the first drive...tom brady played every minute of every game and he only beat peytons by a few tds.........peyton manning is god
