Better than Mark Sanchez or Nick Foles

 

[butchna]

Better than good kneed Carson Palmer

 

[volatil]

Better than Matt Ryan

Guys like PM aren't concerned with being better than an average QB.

Best or nothing

 

[LA Vol]

He's looked difference since the Pats loss. It's hard being a punching bag week after week when you're 38, after four neck surgeries.

 

[butchna]

Better than anything Houston throws out.

 

[butchna]

Or Buffalo

 

[chavisut]

Yes, he's still better than a lot of guys.

 

[butchna]

C'mon....CLEVELAND???

 

[butchna]

Miami wouldn't snap him up in a second.

 

[butchna]

People loving Drew Brees right now

 

[butchna]

I'm a Bears fan...think I wouldn't ship Cutler back to the Broncos in a millisecond?

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Yes, he's still better than a lot of guys.

and I agree with this.

But After watching him regress as a passer the last last few games, i just dont believe he's going to all of a sudden start progressing back to throwing laser strikes like he use to.

 

[butchna]

Bad game against the Rams...they'd rip off Fisher's left nut for Peyton.

 

[butchna]

Oakland?

 

[butchna]

San Francisco?

 

[Bruce Wayne]

How good has peyton been that a guy on pace for 4500 yards and 40 Touchdowns is "done"?? hahaha

I've listed the majority of QBs in the league...that puts him in the elite.

He didn't exactly throw lasers last year either and still set the Touchdown record.

We get it he's better than 90% of the QBS in the league.

My argument is he doesn't settle for mediocrity.

He made the statement before this season that he will retire if he can't play at the highest level of his ability. He said he doesn't want to be remembered as one of those guys that stayed around 2-3 years too long.

Peyton's close to 40 and people act like it's some great revelation that he's in the home stretch of his career. No ****, he doesn't have many seasons left but he's still better than most of the QBs in the league.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

I completely agree, going into next year.. There's maybe 4 or 5 teams that wouldn't swap quarterbacks for him.

 

[LA Vol]

I think Peyton would rather go out on a high note than have everyone talking about how he's starting to slide. Just because he's good enough to play another year or two doesn't mean he will. Broncos have a tough path now.

He's not mediocre...that's my argument...I think there's a rush to judgement on here.

Yep. He's clearly not doing that and at his age recovery will become an increasing issue.

 

[volatil]

For the record, I've been saying I think he's hurt.

He was playing out of his mind at the beginning of the season.
