It's easy, and only takes a few moments.When did Reiss slowly turn into such a Manning ballwasher as he has all year? You'd think Manning did something epic or extraordinary this year the way Reiss - and the rest of the mediots - talk about his season. Brees & Rivers, without a doubt, had better seasons. And as for Manning making Garcon & Collie better, well Collie was considered the most polished route runner in the draft.
What about what Brady did with Edelman? The guy had never even run a route in his life until this spring.
Part of the reason I think I may root for the Jets this weekend is to see Manning fail against an AFCE team. As much as I hate the Jets, that defense is legit, and makes what Manning faces in the AFCS look like a joke.
And don't get me wrong, Reiss is the man, but all year he's been pimping Manning as if this has been some career year for the guy when Rivers & Brees...and as much as I hate to admit it, Favre...have been playing better ball. I have a lot of respect for Manning, but I don't think he had a better season than Brady, weapons & level of competition considered.
I hate the Colts so much I am routing for the Jets for only the third time in 40 years (once vs Oakland at the end of 2001, and once against Miami at the end of 2008). But as much as I hate the Colts, I have to admit Manning has been supreb this year. Without him the Colts would be medicore and I expect them to win the superbowl. They would have gone 19-0 except for Polian, and for that I thank the little turd. Manning would have gotten the 19-0 job done and we would have had Hoosier Goobers on this board for years.
