someone's gotta feel like a complete jack ass picking ryan leaf ... i wouldn't even draft ryan simply because his last name has "fail" written all over it
@kingpin22s If you replace the e with an i for his last name, it actually would be fail spelled backwards. That should have been the ultimate red flag that this guy was going to be the worst QB in Chargers history.
This is funny, but it sucks that for a couple years the Chargers had our number in the playoffs, seems they decided to hold up their end of the bargain with or without him.
Truth is if the Chargers would wait one more year Ryan Leaf could become better with tomlinson on his side maybe then he wouldnt be a draft bust but then again Drew Brees would play better then Ryan Leaf even if he improved
@ziadrazzak If his statement is accurate, then that means he has 2 years left in his career before he retires. It'll be difficult for the Colts to find another QB after Manning retires. I know his replacement won't be Curtis Painter, that guy is a lousy QB. I have seen him play and he is awful.
@anonymous11441144 anybody would be happy with one superbowl ring, plus peyton is going to the hall of fame, and the colts haven't had a losing season since 2001.
@rafaelth1 The Manning's hate the Chargers so bad for some reason. I think the Chargers wanted Manning. P.Manning should not be so butt hurt over the Chargers not making the move to get him its not there fault
@killzwitskillz Agreed... and he is the best QB that ever played the game... I just made a comment and people took me like i'm some kind of manning hater... NOT AT ALL
@rafaelth1 Ya you're right and because of that, the colts should have take the worst draft bust in NFL history instead of one of the greatest Qb's to ever play the game... idiot
@rafaelth1 It's not really Peyton though, it's more the fact he has got a terrible team around him, proven by the game against the Texans this week, he IS THE TEAM.
I really want to see Peyton Manning with a bad offensive line and see how productive he can be. Cuz any QB in his position can be breaking records and be the best with a great offensive line like the Colts.
thats funny he said hes going kick COLTS butt for 15 years, he can barely kick the chargers butt!!! MANNING NEEDS TO SWEEP SUPERBOWLS NOW TO fulfill his legacy, win 2010 season so thats the 11, then the 12 and 13 to complete his career then retire and let somebody have else have fun. lmao. but thats prolly not going happen....damn im still shitty bout the sb.
are you kidding me? tom morroe is one of the best offensive minds in the game. there's a reason he's been in the nfl since 77 and coaching football altogether since 61. the problem isn't the coaches or the rest of the team. the problem is peyton but everyone is too scared to admit it. he has never been a good big game qb. not in high school, not in college, and not in the nfl. look it up. it isn't tom moore's fault that peyton threw the pick 6 to seal the win for new orleans. it's peyton's
excuse me. tom moore. typo. anyway, this is what annoys me. when the colts win, everyone gets on their knees to kiss peyton's ass like he did everything on his own. yet when indy loses, it's never his fault. first of, his only super bowl win wasn't because of him. he threw 3 td's to 7 ints in that playoff run with a rating of 70.55 while the defense allowed 16.25 points per game and the running game averaged 151 yds per game in that playoff run. but that was "all peyton" right?
Dude this season Peyton carried the Colts, in the playoffs he was a beast did you even watch the Jets game? The fact of the matter is the Colts were outcoached plain and simple yes Peyton through a pick 6 but so what it happens. In 2007 Brady through a pick to seal the win for the Colts in the AFC game it happens. The second of half of the 2007 AFC championship game Peyton played masterfully but you conviently leave that out.
@purdue2009 so what it happens? are you nuts? this is the super bowl. the colts are already losing that game and that pick 6 sealed the win for new orleans. after all this talk about peyton being the "best ever", once again he shows us why he's not. first off, joe montana NEVER threw a pick in the super bowl and he played in 4 of them. and second, peyton manning in the playoffs is nowhere near the level he is at in the regular season. look it up, it's a fact.
@purdue2009 not to mention the fact that the one ring he has is due to the colts' defense and running game stepping up and carrying him through the 2006 playoff run. look it up, he played bad in the 2006 playoffs while the running game averaged over 150 yards per game and the defense held kc to 8 points, baltimore to 6 points, and the bears to 17. true he did play great in the 2nd half of the afc championship game against ne but he was awful in kc and bmore and just ok in the super bowl
Biscuit Leaf could have lived up to his draft status he needed a coach like Bill Parcells to stay on him constantly he had the talent everyone just believed in sucking up to him and that cost him his career.
Well lucky for the Dolts, Cryan Leaf didn't wanna play for them. And they didn't want another Elway situation again. At that time Peyton was better fitted for them cause they had the receivers & running backs to help him out.
They picked Peyton over Leaf because in interviews Petyon he'd spend the week after getting selected #1 studying his new team, while Leaf said he'd go to Vegas.
amongst other reasons. I can remember the 1998 Draft and Peyton was going to be the guy Leaf was never really considered for the #1 pick Bill Polian has said this himself the only reason Leaf was even mentioned to Peyton was for contract negotions, the media has vastly exagerrated the Manning Leaf "contreversy"
@CognizantCheddar Yes I remember that infamous interview with Leaf and what he said.He pitched a bitch to his college coach Mike Price because he was going to redshirt him in '98.
why is it alright for people like you to act like saying that two men should suck your balls is a cool things to type/say. its gay your gay.....now suck my balls
no disrespect but id have to say Leaf. im not a Raider fan and i think Russell is commiting larcenies when he cashes his check but i dont think that Russell has the attitude Leaf did i mean this guy was a HUGE ass clown. whereas i think Russell's problem is that he was drafted @ all Raiders made a big mistake drafting this guy he doesnt appear to have the smarts
the first time....idk what happened to peyton. the offense just sucked at the end. the second time the colts werent that good of a team. i think if the chargers played the colts now the chargers would get raped!
...On a second note, The scouts were really impressed with Leaf's stronger arm and better mobility. However, let it stand as proof that you can watch all the film on a man you like and until you get him in the big time and get to see him in action yourself, your never going to know just what your really getting. The highly anticipated/under achieving QB is an annual debacle in the NFL, and Leaf is one of many that fits that category.
@shawnsummers I would not say that with all the rules they have that favors the WR's and less defense of coverage. Farve took his team to the superbowl and won it. Manning never did that even though he has a ring. he can't thank his defense for the only ring he won
@shawnsummers wowowowowowowo now idk why you guys gave him thumbs up manning is good but favre almost holds every record you can think of for QB position now untill manning breaks it he is not better i want to see manning be 39 and still be great like favre but that wont happen manning is alredy showing slight decline in his awareness he is still great tho but low awareness more hits on your qb which the colts saw last year
@conlaugh lmfao yea thats one that shoodnt be broken but the man is a legend aand will go down as maybe the most historic qb ever man trust me i watched brett his whole career but lmao lafing at your comment that was a good comeback funny one
@b0ricuapr1d3 brett farve isnt even a top 5 qb right now... how is that great Current QB rankings IMO 1. Peyton Manning 2. Drew Brees 3. Aaron Rogers 4. Tom Brady 5. Philip Rivers 6. Micheal Vick 7. Matt Shaub 8. Brett Farve 9. Donavin Mcnaab 10. Matt Cassell
@GMforlife90 matt cassel shouldnt be on that list. Kyle Orton is definitely top ten and possibly Mark Sanchez given the way he has been playing lately.
@GMforlife90 brett favre shouldn't be on that list right now. he's playing awful. kyle orton should definitely be on that list tho, especially if you're gonna include vick. orton and lloyd make a great tandem.
@GMforlife90 mcnabb and favre dont deserve spotts. u seem to have forgotten matt ryan and josh freeman both youn quarterbacks leading their teams to impressive records
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Ryan Leaf could have been great but in the NFL once you bust on a AWFUL team your career is like over. The Colts had Marvin Harrison/Reggie Wayne etc who did the Chargers have?
Right now Mannings completion percentage is 70% avg over 300 yrds/ game with the majority of the passes going to Pierre Garson and Austin Collie. Manning spreads the ball around, so while having Harrison helps....its mostly Peyton Manning.
The Colts were awful when Manning...hence the #1 overall pick. I'm not saying the Chargers were stacked, but Manning went 1-15 in his first year. They were bad. Harrison was there, but he was a nobody at the time. Did Manning create him? Who knows?
On a second note, when you look at his NFL Debut you see he shined 2 games into his rookie year. When the chiefs came to town however the defense was bigger and better than all he had ever faced. It was the first true test of not just his physical talents, but his leadership qualities and self confidence. He got knocked around and frustrated back there. Meanwhile Manning wasnt having all that good a first year either. But you gotta respect Manning for his mental Toughness.
Ryan Leaf to get the story straight, was the better gifted athlete when compared with Peyton Manning. In the end, Manning had then and has now the mental capacities and emotional toughness to be a champion whereas Leaf does not. Leaf's era is done. He still has issues time to time, but the man I really believe is TRYING to better himself. I'm not going to judge his mistakes..i got enough skeletons in my own closet. Rather than blast the man, I just feel terrible his talent has been wasted.
Leaf was not the better athlete. I agree that Manning is tremendously strong mentally, and Leaf was a waste of talent. But to assert that Leaf was the better athlete it asinine. Manning is arguably the best QB to over pick up a football, and it is not all due to his brain. His body has a lot to do with it.
Yeah I agree Manning is a tremendous athlete. You just dont make it in the NFL on brains or brawn alone...you need the best of both worlds. Look at Chad Pennington for example who is a good case of high intelligence but perhaps not the strongest nor fastest QB. You need both to succeed as well as Manning has. But there is a reason the scouts favored Leaf over Manning that draft and it has to do with the physical talent of Leaf.
Your flat out wrong. Leaf was a far better athlete. Manning can barely move out of the pocket at all. Leaf had a fair amount of mobility. You're blurring the distinction between mobility and ability. Manning is great because he has a talent for playing football, not because of his physical gifts.
Youre obviously blurring the distinction between athleticism and 40 yard dash times. How do you think Michael Jordan pulled off those amazing behind the back, no look, being fouled in the process lay-ups? Knowing how exactly to move in any situation to get the ball in the net. Coordination my friend. Manning has an unbelievable ability to throw perfect strikes with defenders in his face. He knows exactly how to move his body in order to make the throw. Thats true athletecism, not 40 times.
Most scouts had Ryan Leaf being the better pro. He had better physical tools and better arm strength.
PS- No one knew Leaf was a nutcase during his College days. everything came out once he was in the NFL. So your statement about him being "immature" fails miserably.
Is he your uncle or something? no need for name calling. my "immature" statement fails miserably for you because it went right over your head like one of ryan leaf's passes. Now you're a dipshit too. The Colts sure as hell didn't have him being the better pro...did they? Only the chargers would be ignorant enough to pick leaf over manning back in the day. They have to live with that forever. They also traded Drew Brees! HHAAAA! HHAAA!!!
Thats a Confident statement. I would have picked him if he said that. Sure we can look back and say Ryan Leaf was such a terrible pick but its never certain. Who knew that both, Matt Leinart, and Vince Young, would be draft busts. Ha you can even call Reggie one. He should have been drafted as a receiver or punt returner (no rb vision and always hurt)
If I were an NFL coach, I'd think that was a very cocky statement. But here's the thing, Peyton Manning's got the goods to back that statement up. And now Peyton ranks as one of the greatest QBs of all time.

no disrespect but id have to say Leaf. im not a Raider fan and i think Russell is commiting larcenies when he cashes his check but i dont think that Russell has the attitude Leaf did i mean this guy was a HUGE ass clown. whereas i think Russell's problem is that he was drafted @ all Raiders made a big mistake drafting this guy he doesnt appear to have the smarts

...On a second note, The scouts were really impressed with Leaf's stronger arm and better mobility. However, let it stand as proof that you can watch all the film on a man you like and until you get him in the big time and get to see him in action yourself, your never going to know just what your really getting. The highly anticipated/under achieving QB is an annual debacle in the NFL, and Leaf is one of many that fits that category.

shawnsummers 2 years ago 29
@shawnsummers I would not say that with all the rules they have that favors the WR's and less defense of coverage. Farve took his team to the superbowl and won it. Manning never did that even though he has a ring. he can't thank his defense for the only ring he won

Right now Mannings completion percentage is 70% avg over 300 yrds/ game with the majority of the passes going to Pierre Garson and Austin Collie. Manning spreads the ball around, so while having Harrison helps....its mostly Peyton Manning.
jdigitalseven 2 years ago
The Colts were awful when Manning...hence the #1 overall pick. I'm not saying the Chargers were stacked, but Manning went 1-15 in his first year. They were bad. Harrison was there, but he was a nobody at the time. Did Manning create him? Who knows?

jeffbrister2004 2 years ago
On a second note, when you look at his NFL Debut you see he shined 2 games into his rookie year. When the chiefs came to town however the defense was bigger and better than all he had ever faced. It was the first true test of not just his physical talents, but his leadership qualities and self confidence. He got knocked around and frustrated back there. Meanwhile Manning wasnt having all that good a first year either. But you gotta respect Manning for his mental Toughness.
Aeschliman1982 2 years ago
Ryan Leaf to get the story straight, was the better gifted athlete when compared with Peyton Manning. In the end, Manning had then and has now the mental capacities and emotional toughness to be a champion whereas Leaf does not. Leaf's era is done. He still has issues time to time, but the man I really believe is TRYING to better himself. I'm not going to judge his mistakes..i got enough skeletons in my own closet. Rather than blast the man, I just feel terrible his talent has been wasted.
Aeschliman1982 2 years ago
Leaf was not the better athlete. I agree that Manning is tremendously strong mentally, and Leaf was a waste of talent. But to assert that Leaf was the better athlete it asinine. Manning is arguably the best QB to over pick up a football, and it is not all due to his brain. His body has a lot to do with it.
ZiaCombs 2 years ago
Yeah I agree Manning is a tremendous athlete. You just dont make it in the NFL on brains or brawn alone...you need the best of both worlds. Look at Chad Pennington for example who is a good case of high intelligence but perhaps not the strongest nor fastest QB. You need both to succeed as well as Manning has. But there is a reason the scouts favored Leaf over Manning that draft and it has to do with the physical talent of Leaf.
Aeschliman1982 2 years ago
Your flat out wrong. Leaf was a far better athlete. Manning can barely move out of the pocket at all. Leaf had a fair amount of mobility. You're blurring the distinction between mobility and ability. Manning is great because he has a talent for playing football, not because of his physical gifts.

Athleticism isn't going to get you to the play-offs or that Super Bowl ring as a QB.
PrUnEJuIcEtHeThIrD 2 years ago
Youre obviously blurring the distinction between athleticism and 40 yard dash times. How do you think Michael Jordan pulled off those amazing behind the back, no look, being fouled in the process lay-ups? Knowing how exactly to move in any situation to get the ball in the net. Coordination my friend. Manning has an unbelievable ability to throw perfect strikes with defenders in his face. He knows exactly how to move his body in order to make the throw. Thats true athletecism, not 40 times.

manning.
fosiao 2 years ago
douche bag, neither has been tested.
Most scouts had Ryan Leaf being the better pro. He had better physical tools and better arm strength.
PS- No one knew Leaf was a nutcase during his College days. everything came out once he was in the NFL. So your statement about him being "immature" fails miserably.
JohnnyBananas69 2 years ago
Is he your uncle or something? no need for name calling. my "immature" statement fails miserably for you because it went right over your head like one of ryan leaf's passes. Now you're a dipshit too. The Colts sure as hell didn't have him being the better pro...did they? Only the chargers would be ignorant enough to pick leaf over manning back in the day. They have to live with that forever. They also traded Drew Brees! HHAAAA! HHAAA!!!

thats hilarious and very true. chargers are still to this day very overrated with all the talent they have.
FicoBezKocnicaBL 2 years ago
Thats a Confident statement. I would have picked him if he said that. Sure we can look back and say Ryan Leaf was such a terrible pick but its never certain. Who knew that both, Matt Leinart, and Vince Young, would be draft busts. Ha you can even call Reggie one. He should have been drafted as a receiver or punt returner (no rb vision and always hurt)

If I were an NFL coach, I'd think that was a very cocky statement. But here's the thing, Peyton Manning's got the goods to back that statement up. And now Peyton ranks as one of the greatest QBs of all time.
