In the case of Peyton Manning vs Eli Manning the question is who is the better MAN-NING! At first glance the answer would be Peyton right? In 12 seasons he's considered one of the all-time greats. He's won 3 regular season MVP's and a Super Bowl MVP, he's thrown for 336 TD's, his 64.5 complection pct. is 3rd all-time (among QB's with 1500 attempts). He's the Colts all-time winningest QB (but doesn't like to be compared to Johnny "U") He's the master of the 2 min drill and has led countless 4th qtr combacks including Monday night against Miami. He's started 178 straight games second all-time only to Brett Farve. So Peyton's the obvious choice right? Not so fast LiL Bro Eli isn't just chopped QB. It was a rocky start for Eli after being drafted in the 1st rd by San Diego he refused to play there and then the Giants and Chargers worked a swap for Phillip Rivers. All Eli's done since is win a Super Bowl in dramatic fashion against the mighty Patriots. He's evolved into a true leader, he plays with a quite confidence and he's cluth under pressure. He does what all great QB's do he plays big in the big games (Dallas Sunday night). He'll never put up the numbers that big Brother does because of the system he plays in but last time I checked both Manning's have a Super Bowl Ring. Either one you choose you can't go wrong. Peyton will be in the hall of fame and Eli right now is at the top of his game. There's onl... [More]

It was an outstanding week 1 in the NFL. It was no surprise the Adrian Peterson ran through and around the Browns for 180 punishing yds in the debut of #4 for the Vikings. It also wasn't a surprise that Drew Brees set a league record by throwing 6 TD's on opening day. It wasn't even a surprise that the 49ers went in to Arizona and smacked the defending NFC champion Cardinals in the mouth. What was a surprise was the peromance of Jets Rookie QB Marc Sanchez who didn't play like a Rookie at all. It wasn't just his numbers 18-31 for 272 and his first career TD it was his presence in the pocket, his command of the offense. For the most part he made the right reads, and good decisions and got the ball where it needed to be and when it needed to be there. Sanchez is an upgrade over some guy named Farve they had last season. Rookies don't do what Sanchez did in their first game (ok Dan Marino) not Montana, Elway, Unitas or even "Broadway Joe" Actually though Sanchez isn't a Rookie because he's already played for a professional team the USC Trojans.
