How can Peyton Manning be regarded as the best QB in the NFL and he's never even won a Superbowl or playoffs?

You must be listening to shizer-for-brains John Madden too much.

I think it should be the Colts offensive line, not their QB. After all, they are the reason Manning has been doing so well. The others you have listed are great picks. \nI wish that most of these people would understand that the MVP is picked BEFORE the playoffs, not after the Super Bowl. \nMarino, B. Sanders and many others have gotten the MVP and have never gone to the Super Bowl.

The answer to this question may be different in a few years, but John Elway is arguably one of the 5 best QB's to ever play the game. \n\nBig Ben is off to a great start, but needs to show he can do it over a longer period of time, plus get atleast one ring before he can be mentioned in the same breath as Elway.\n\nPlease note: I give this answer even though I hated John Elway.

The best player in the NFL is by far LaDainian Tomlinson. He can run for a TD,catch a TD and Pass for a TD. It certainly isnt Michael Vick. Vick may be one of the most exciting but that doesnt make him the best. In fact he was one of the worst rated QB's in the league. 25th in the league to be exact.

Tom Brady knows one thing and one thing only, "JUST WIN". He doesn't care about his own stats, QB passer rating, completion percentages etc. He'll do what it takes to win a game. Peyton Manning is a better QB based on numbers and stats. But if I compare them intuitively, I favor Tom Brady over Peyton Manning because he just wins. Also another thing to note is Bill Belichick is the key reason for Tom Brady's success. If Bill Belichick was coacing Peyton Manning, Peyton will keep winning every Super Bowl. Reading from my comments you'll see that I adore both Tom Brady & Peyton Manning.

AIKMAN!!! That's why teams win super bowls because of having good players. One person can't win super bowls that is where the word TEAM comes into effect it takes a TEAM to WIN a super bowl. AIKMAN is a better QB because he's a LEADER of a GREAT TEAM!!!

if anything he will be viewed as a quarterback that uses the most with nothing...the guy has one player on that ENTIRE offense that could even sniff the NFL...if he was on a team with more weapons on offense we are not only talking about a multiple heisman winner, but also one of the greatest qb's of all time...but since neither of those has happened...i still think he will be the top qb taken...look at guys like joey harrington and alex smith and even david carr...true they aren't the greatest qb's in the NFL...but they did a lot with nothing to make HUGE names for themselves

He probably will have the best stats of any qb but if he doenst win a super bowl he will not b the best ever

Sure there are questions, especially for Manning who has yet to win a SB.  Stats are great but they are only one measure of a career.  Until Manning at least even gets to a SB, regardless of his talent and stats, there will be a huge question mark on his career.

He is no One Year Wonder.  He has had 4 years to sit back, learn everything about every play, every player, every situation that he needs to know about.  He will not be the next Tom Brady or Peyton Manning or any other QB,  He will be Tony Romo.  He will be the guy who came in everyday to practice, and practiced like he was playing in the biggest game of his life.  He will be the guy who waited for his turn to shine and never looked back.  Every player eventually has a bad game or a slump, its about how you deal with it and with the team you lead, that sets you apart from great QB before you.  He has the potential to be one of the best, and right now there is no reason for him no to be.

It all boils down to his health.  If he can stay healthy for a whole season he can be a game changer.  He has developed over the years, but his injuries haven't allow him to show his full potential.  We know he wont be anywhere near the passing QB of a Manning or Brady, but he can be a heck of a QB and lead his team to a Super Bowl which is all that matters.

i still believe that michael vick is one of the most overrated players in the nfl.\n\nby far the best qb in the nfl is Peyton Manning. no one can lead a team the way he can. no one. I think behind him is Tom Brady. And then Gus Frerotte. Just kidding about gus.

I know this is simple... and I don't think it matters. Wheather Eli or Peyton it doesn't matter, You most definately start Manning!\n\nThere is no doubt here as to who should start.\n\nThe Colts rank fourth in the league with 205 points. Manning leads the NFL in quarterback rating and trails only Philadelphia's Donovan McNabb in passing yards and touchdowns.\n\nBut Manning will face a strong Patriots defense, one of the few units that has given the two-time league MVP trouble in the past. Manning has thrown 14 interceptions in 11 career games against New England.\n\nManning!\n\nFrank C

Honestly, I refuse to put Peyton Manning in the as #1 until he wins something. For years now I keep hearing about his greatness, and he is a great player, but great players need to win something to prove it.\n\n1.) Tom Brady (almost always finds a way to win on the highest level)\n\n2.) Ben Roethlisberger (has done nothing but win since he got in the League)\n\n3.) Peyton Manning (despite his great numbers he has done nothing to give Indy a championship)\n\n4.) Carson Palmer ( great QB who has only gotten better since his debut in the league)\n\n5.) Michale Vick (dont give me crappy passing stats either...who cares when he is in the lineup the Falcons win...he is the real MVP of the nFL every year because without him the Falcons are a 2-5 win team. with him they are an 8-12 win team. nobody else makes that much of a difference.)

Tom Brady of the New England Patriots. Simply because he knows how to win. Three Super Bowl Championships proves that. Even though Peyton Manning has more talent, he chokes in big games. Thus I give the edge to Brady.

Best QB - Peyton Manning (Look at his numbers from '04.  Last year's weren't too shabby either.  Don't tell me Big Ben - he sucked in the Super Bowl despite their win.)\n\nRunning Back - Larry Johnson (1750 yards last year and he didn't even start every game, plus he is a terrific all around back - speed, power, he can catch, etc.  Don't even mention Shawn Alexander - he is only as good as his line, which has suffered this offseason thanks to the loss of Steve Hutchison, and he can't catch worth a damn.)\n\nWide Receiver - Marvin Harrison.  Great routes, great speed, great team player.  Sure, he may not be as big, strong, or fast as a guy like T.O., but it also has to do with what he brings to your team and the chance he gives you to win.\n\nCorner - Lets broaden this category to include all DB's, including safeties.  It is hard to measure what makes a corner good.  Interceptions?  No, because some guys are "shut down corners" who never see a ball thrown their way, and therefore never get picks.  Tackles?  No, for much the same reason.  Although he is a safety, I choose Troy Palumalu for this category - he is simply awesome.\n\nTeam - Pittsburgh.  They sure looked like the best all around team during the playoffs, and they proved it through sound, fundamental offense and a great defense.
