Peyton Manning is just average and is to blame for loss!!

9-9 career in the post season and 1-1 in Super Bowls. That my friends is simply just average. And if he is the signal caller/offensive cordinator who calls the majority of the plays for the Colts, then he should be to blame for the pathetic game plan in this super bowl. Throwing the ball 49 times with only putting 17 points on the board when his Rb is averaging 5.9 yeards a pop is flat out ridiculous and shows how selfish he really is.

Had he maybe thrown for what 35 times and given Addai another 10 carries he chews some clock and keeps the ball out of the hands of Terry Porter and also Drew Brees. But he isnt ever going to QB like that. No way. And that my friends is an ego I wouldnt want.

in my opinion, Peyton's television commercials are still way above average though...

one could also make the argument that Peyton must be an above average QB to have led his team to the Super Bowl in spite of having the league's worst rushing offense...

We had a great running game and a dominant defense and several AVERAGE quarterbacks- how did that work out for us and getting to the Super Bowl.

Just sayin'

Sorry, I think it's just silly to call Manning average. Just start with Superbowl wins - how many qb's have won? Then you look at his numbers, saying he's just average is like saying Marino is just average.

Now is he to blame for this loss? I'll go with that since it's said he makes the calls at the line. Can blame the Colts D too, I suppose, but I think his QB average was only in the 80s today.

I have a feeling that pic is going to turn out to be like O'Donnel's - the receiver should have turned in, and the ball was thrown early to where he should have been. Still the QB fault (don't throw it like that with a defender in the area).

One area where he is less than average - sportmanship. He comes across consistently as a spoiled brat.

I think QBs should be broken down into 2 categories. Regular season and Post season. Payton is probably the Greatest QB of all time, IN THE REGULAR SEASON. Joe Montana was the best in the post season. Now you have to make a choice what would you rather have. More SBs or some badass regular season stats. When it counts and it doesn't get done...you've got to wonder.
