He is the best football player to ever play the game. That isn't even an exageration. QBs throw pics, it happens. Brees almost threw two in that game, Colts defenders dropped them. Manning's body of work says it all, don't judge him based on one game.

RCA, get off the mans jock, I was just rubbing it in the faces of everyone who thinks Peyton Manning is the second coming of jesus.

Yeah man, there was NO chance the Colts could lose to the Saints, do you know who their QB is? I must have watched the wrong game.

I did literally laugh out loud when Peyton threw that pick 6, all I could picture was all those arrogant "Peyton is our QB, we can't possibly lose to the Saints" Colts fans with their heads in their hands. Yeah, I can judge him on one game, because that one game is the super bowl and that separates the men from the boys. Yeah, yeah, yeah he beat the pathetic Bears in the rain bowl in 07', but this game might just define his legacy. Yeah good quarterback, but not perfect.

31-17, who dat gonna beat dem saints? Not the Colts.

Peyton could of gone his entire career with out a Super Bowl and he would of still been the best football player of all time. He made a mistake, like I said if Drees got picked off like he should of, then it wouldn't matter. One mistake (on the football field) rarely defines a players career.

I'll be honest, but I believe the Saints won because of the successful onside kick, call it genius, call it lucky, i'll call it the game changer. Colts get the ball, at least a field goal is pretty much a for gone conclusion. Of course I think the Saints still win without the onside kick, because the Colts D was dinged up bad, Freeney, rookie corner Jerrod Powers, on and on, no real pass rush means Brees (or probably any quarterback for that matter) carves up the defense.

So then Peyton gets the ball in his "time to shine" to seal himself as pretty much the greatest quarterback of all time, and he throws a pick to a corner who obviously had the play read all day. That's not what the greats do, this was the Super Bowl and he looked like a major dunce. Then on top of it, doesn't shake anyone's hand at the end of the game, what a toolbag, get over yourself you arrogant prick. Loved every drawn out disgusted face Peyton made.

Saints outplayed the Colts in almost every conceivable way after the end of the first quarter.

Onside kick isn't what did it. Saints won by holding Peyton to 17 points and not allowing themselves to be held down on offense.

Call him what you want but I wouldn't question him because of his body of work. Now if he were to be doing this all season long then ok sure rip him apart. Also no sealing necessary, he is.

No, the super bowl if anything watered down his legacy.

He had a chance to either, make a comeback and help the Colts win the Super Bowl, therefore erasing any doubt in peoples minds that he was and still is the greatest quarterback and dare I say it player of all time. Or, he could have not stepped up to the plate in this very game, which is exactly what he did. Not only did he not tie the game when he had the chance, he threw an interception which for all intents and purposes ended the game. I mean jeez he couldn't even help the Colts score from the 4 yard line.

What do you think everyone is going to remember, Peyton beating a mediocre Bears team in the crappy "rain bowl", or him failing to bring his team back to even against the Saints, even helping to seal his teams' fate with the interception and TD? I'm going to go with the latter.

You could do that, but the rest of the football world will see:The constant audibles, the only QB that is also a offensive coordinator, the attention to detail, the charismatic commercial dude, his extremely competitive nature (a reason why he didn't shake hands), the amount of come backs, some seriously crazy comebacks (20+ points in the 4th), the amount of games he won almost single-handedly, the records, the stats and the wins.

Also the Bears were mediocre enough to make the Superbowl...Do you read what you write? Rain affects both teamsThe Bears that year had the 5th best Overall defense and 2nd best Takeaway/Giveaway ratio, they weren't bums.

You just hate Peyton Manning, you are blinded by his greatness, I get it. If Drew gets picked off twice (like he should have) then what, are you going to talk sh*t about him? No, because he is a great QB that (would of had) a bad game. Football is a game of inches things happen. Look at the big picture and not one performance. Because for every game Peyton helped to lose, there are 15 games he helped win. Take off the blinders and see the truth.

The Bears offense was horrible first off, they pretty much had no chance.

Blinded by Manning's greatness....hardly. Sickened by Manning's arrogance....very.

Brees shoulda, woulda, coulda been intercepted, but he wasn't and he won the game.

I don't have to say anything further, this was Peyton's chance and he blew it. Love it, maybe it will shut up the Manning jock riders for awhile.

I was so happy watching peytons stupid face after the loss.

1. Joe Montana2. Tom Brady3. Terry Bradshaw

Just to name a few, dan marino, john elway...

Peyton Manning is the greatest REGULAR SEASON quarterback of all time...but when the game is on the line i'm not calling on him to be my qb...i would rather take .500 record regular season everyear and win the superbowl.

Oh and i'm a bears fan and the colts didn't beat the bears in super xli...the bears beat themselves aka turnovers and just bad play calling in general.

when manning threw that pick i was so relieved but now he knows how rex felt when he threw that pick in the 4th quarter for a pick six.

The Bears defense in 06 was real good and yet with the terrible conditions Manning still had a good game. I am not saying he won on his own, football teams do. The Colts play the Saints, not Peyton Manning. Also you proof my point with "would of, could of". Think about it, Peyton made a bad read and now he is the worst QB of all time, sure ok. But Drees made mistakes as well but got away with it but what does that make him better? I am saying Peyton is good and even with that interception he still has a 92 QB rating. Great performance, most football teams win games if their QB has a rating like that. These are things many people don't take into consideration, you need to play football to appriciate/understand it. Highlights and ESPN don't tell the whole story.

Joe Montana is the perfect case of "right place at the right time". I feel he is a good QB but every one puts him on this pedastal because the 49ers won 4 Super Bowls. Qbs don't win games, teams do. Having 8 probowlers per season definitly helped Montana, not to mention 3 or 4 Hall of Famers. He didn't need to make plays, his stats are weak and that has all to do with the talent around him. Because he didn't need to score those extra TDs. I think Montana is VERY over rated. I put Montana in the top 5

Brady is a guy who I feel is a stud and what I saw out of him is nothing but awesome. Prior to the 2008 season I had him in the top three but Matt Cassel really made me rethink Brady's position. Matt Cassel didn't start 1 game in college or the pros prior to Tom Brady getting hurt. He was the 230th pick in the 7th round (similar to Brady) and yet his first season as a starting QB he pulls out a Pro Bowl esk type season. I find that fishy. Yes Brady has won Super Bowls but that "Greatest Defense of the Decade" tag given to the Patriots take away from his acomplishments. So what are the odds of the Patriots Drafting two QBs in the 7th round and have them be great stand outs? Something tells me I could play quarter back for the Patriots (exageration). I removed Brady from my top ten.

Terry Bradshaw in the top 3 QBs ever is rediculous. The only thing going for him is the Steelers Super Bowl wins and even then he barely contributed in the playoffs. His career was mediocure at best but I have to say he was potent in the Super bowl but with out that team he wouldn't have a job after 1973. With all that said, he does not belong on the top 3 list. Maybe top 10... maybe.

Career Totals: (Atts) 3901 (Comp) 2025 (Pct) 51.9 (Yds) 27989 (TDs) 212 (INTs) 210 (QB rating) 70.9

My top ten:

1. Manning2. Marino3. John Elway

Never said Manning was a bad quarterback, hes probably the best quarterback in the NFL right now, with Brady, Brees, and a few other nipping at his coat tails.

I was just saying this was Manning's chance to immortalize himself as the greatest quarterback and possibly player of all time. If Manning could have pulled a victory out of his a**, I would have no problem calling the arrogant bastard the "greatest". Of course his time came and went and the Colts lost 31-17. s***, he couldn't even score from the 4 to make the game (with extra point) 31-24 maybe give the Colts a chance to kick the onside kick to get the ball back. You never know.
