The greatest Vol ever will retire as the most prolific passer ever!

Tough going in the cards with a whole new coaching staff in place, player moves, etc. Hoping for the best for him to go out on a high but Super Bowl would be a stretch IMO...hope to be proven incorrect

Ranking the 16 greatest quarterbacks in NFL history | FOX Sports

Despite his lack of success in the post season, Manning comes in third on this list only Montana, and Brady are ranked higher, and it's because thier teams won more Super Bowls than Manning's teams.

It's also because both Brady and Montana were much better QBs when it came playoff time. Yes the teams won more but QB is one of the most important positions on the field. Facts.

The same Colts who eliminated the Broncos this past season.

Colts still don't stand a chance of winning the SB (unlike Broncos who are actually better than Colts when Peyton is healthy - as we saw the previous season).

Colts are 2-1 against the Broncos while Luck has been in Indy and Peyton has been in Denver.

The Colts have more talent on defense than when Manning played with them. But, they still won't get to the SB without Manning.

Peyton didn't win a playoff game until his 6th season or get to the Super Bowl until his 9th season.

Luck has only been in the league 3 years. Give him some time.

Tom Brady has to retire at some point.

Sorry to change the direction of the thread, but had to get the Reggie White plug in there. That said, I hope Manning has 3 more years in him, wins the next 3 Super Bowls while laying at least 75 more TD's on top of his record, and is forever talked about as the Michael Jordan of football.

I actually believe Kubiak's system can help him get there. Lean more on the run game and reduce the number throws Manning has to make throughout the year. Ware and Miller could be pretty fun to watch in that 3-4 as well.

Manning passed his physical, but I don't know that he has 3 years left in him. He certainly needs to have more success in the playoffs and win a SB to cement his legacy as one of the greatest ever to play QB.

I think he gets it done next season if he can stay healthy.

You really think Mannng has two more seasons in him? I don't see it. I will be shocked if Denver makes it to the AFC title game. Of course if they do it will likely be against NE at NE and we all know what that means. Peyton is a top 5 QB of all time but I think #3 is the highest he can get. Which BTW is nothing to be ashamed of.

Yes, I do think he can get it done, but it can't be ONLY up to him. Denver must improve the defense and the running game. Manning will do his part and more, he's a winner.

Will be interesting to see what that Kubiak offense can do with a real QB running it...never had one as a HC...looked pretty salty in his one year with Flacco.

I wouldn't mind seeing Peyton run a little west coast offense with a power running game.

That said, I for one will never get over him leaving Tennessee for Texas - not a VFL. :)

It is not going to be the same when Peyton is not in the NFL. Every time I see him I am reminded of what a great representative he is to our University. :clapping:

Nothing to be confused about. Reggie is the greatest defensive lineman of all time while Peyton is the greatest football player of all time. So wonderful they both happened to play at UT.

Doug Atkins is considered by many to be the greatest Vol ever. Atkins was the only unanimous selection to the SEC All Quarter-Century team and was selected as the overall SEC "Player of the Quarter-Century" for the years 1950-1975.

Props to Peyton and Reggie White, but Atkins led the 1951 Vols to the National Championship.

Reggie is the best defensive lineman to play the game without question. I love Peyton and think he has a case as the best QB ever to play but the best football player in my opinion is this guy.
