Greatness Falls at the Hands of a True Legend

Written by Alex Fitzsimmons


It’s implausible to imaginerepparttar player who brokerepparttar 133002 most coveted record in football being remembered asrepparttar 133003 guy that couldn’t winrepparttar 133004 big game. Peyton Manning bears that ugly scar. After shattering Dan Marino’s single season touchdown passing record, throwing for 49 TD passes, Manning’s legacy was almost guaranteed to be that of one ofrepparttar 133005 greatest signal callers ever. That is, until last Sunday, when in three repugnant hours of chaos and confusion, it all melted away.

Previously known for his audacity, fieriness, passion forrepparttar 133006 game and his methodically deliberate decision-making ability, Manning was undoubtedlyrepparttar 133007 most dominant player at his position. He seemed carry a certain aura that few before him ever possessed. The way he could read a defense, starerepparttar 133008 linebacker inrepparttar 133009 eyes, shoot a factiously sly grin at him, and in an instant, he’d turn into a magician, andrepparttar 133010 football would end up 50 yards downfield, withrepparttar 133011 defender wondering whenrepparttar 133012 play was going to start.

Not only was Manning such an artisan at reading coverages, his arm strength and accuracy was and still is superior to any quarterback playing now. It’s not his arm that proved to be his undoing,repparttar 133013 problem was his swagger. Winning back to back MVP awards demands a degree of respect fromrepparttar 133014 league, and prior to being tumultuously exploited byrepparttar 133015 New England Patriots secondary, a decimated secondary lacking it’s best player, Ty Law, Manning yielded a power that said he wasrepparttar 133016 man and nobody could stop him. Looks like someone shutrepparttar 133017 power off.

But that wasrepparttar 133018 old Manning,repparttar 133019 truly “special” Manning. Now, Manning’s nothing more than a shell of his former self. He’s no longer a truly elite quarterback, just a good passer that wilted when his team needed him most.

As touchdown passes rained in Indy, numerous bandwagon hopping fans considered Manning one ofrepparttar 133020 greatest quarterbacks to ever playrepparttar 133021 game. He isn’t evenrepparttar 133022 best quarterback inrepparttar 133023 game right now, never mind one ofrepparttar 133024 greatest ever. Patriots’ quarterback Tom Brady proved once and for all that he is a better player than Manning, last Sundays 20-3 dismantling ofrepparttar 133025 Colts confirmed that. And last season,repparttar 133026 seemingly infallible Manning was picked off four times inrepparttar 133027 AFC Championship Game against none other than Brady andrepparttar 133028 Pats. The only stat in football is wins, and Super Bowl trophies. Brady is a perfect 7-0 as a starting quarterback inrepparttar 133029 playoffs. But what’s even more astounding, he’s 6-0 lifetime against Manning. Brady is also a two time Super Bowl MVP, at only 27 years old. Manning doesn’t have any Super Bowl wins or even appearances, and he’s a year older than Brady.
