OT: Manning announces his retirement
Very sad day to hear that Peyton has decided to take a permanent vacation from the NFL.
Best wishes and been a blast watching you as a player!

He is a class act. Old school and team first player and doesn't cheat. Players like him are definitely in the rare dept.

Great player, perhaps the best QB ever. I do hope that he does fewer commercials in retirement though, that would make me very happy.

Sonny Jurgensen goes on my list of best passers. Incomparable. And I don't see how any QB list doesn't have Unitas.

I think it's hard to rank players with one guy being a solid #1, then 2, then 3, etc., but I don't know how you'd rank anyone above Jurgensen as a pure passer. He was incredible. (Having Charley Taylor, Bobby Mitchell, and Jerry Smith didn't hurt, but his throwing and offensive management were great.) I'd perhaps put Marino and maybe Rodgers in the same class, but wouldn't say any of them is the clear cut best. As for Unitas, I don't know how you compare across eras, but I think he's in the group of the top QBs ever. And don't forget Otto Graham. |

Will miss watching him and Brady go at it; that was always a good rivalry. Though I do agree with Jobu about the commercials.

I recall the expert rap on Marino was that he was subpar in his ability to find his secondary receivers. This is perhaps Brady's greatest talent, and was Manning's. He certainly had a quick release and great arm.

but yea tom brady or joe montana over peyton as best QB ever...and aaron rodgers is the best passer ever past or present. he may not have the best arm but his deft touch and pinpoint accuracy lets him make throws into small disappearing windows that only he can pull off. plus he thows very catchable spiraling balls (very underrated aspect of qb-ing)...he doesn't overpower you like a cam ball or dying ducks of manning. rodgers' always balanced with his little moves inside the pocket. |
