Archie was classic case of wrong place wrong time. Put him in San Francisco in the 80's and he's the greatest of all time. Of course there are others for whom this would also be true. It's to Montana's credit that he made the best of an ideal situation. Archie, on the other hand, was apparently a great father... no small accomplishment.
@dustin0004 You know, I always tell my friend that. I say, "You know, Archie could throw just as well as Eli or Peyton. And run a lot better. In turn, Archie is better."
@dustin0004 Peyton used to have a bit of speed in college. I'm not sure what happened to his speed, but if you go back and look at Tennessee footage of Peyton. He did have some skip in his legs.
No archie manning is not the gretest of all time. sorry bud. The greatest usually win heismans and lead their teams to chamipionships. he wasn't even the best of that era. During 1970 Jerry Tagge was winning championships and Johnny Rodgers was winning the heisman. I respectfully disagree about Archie Manning. I stay true to my previous list. And I didn't even mention Turner Gill, Billy Sims, Irving Fryer, Gale Sayers, Jim Brown, OJ Simpson, Barry Sanders. I guess this subjecive is subjective.
@dwmackey1 .......Archie was a lot better than Jerry Tagge. Nebraska's teams may have better than Ole Miss but Tagge was a product of the Bob Devaney system.

He looks like Eli Manning today in looking at that picture of Archie Manning back then.

Archie was so quick on his feet how did he have two sons in the NFL slower than molasses.
