[quote karsen]Peyton Manning is an A-hole. He's never, NEVER, won a big game either in college or the pros. After nearly every big loss he's had some sort of blame to place on teammates. Throwing a team mate under the bus after a loss is not carrying yourself well. This goes all the way back to Tennessee losses against Florida.
I've seen him waive off the punt team on 4th down before, essentially taking things in his own hands. He also calls the line blocking. He also calls many of his own plays (ever wonder why they throw the ball on 1st and goal from the 1 yard line so much?).
There's no doubt he is a great QB but when you take on that kind of responsibility on the field then you should man up and take the blame that goes along with it.
Wow, harsh words. Were you watching two weeks ago? I'd call that a big game, and that's just the most recent one. I've never heard Peyton call out an individual on his team after a loss. Peyton calls out each play because he studies more than any other player in the game. When he goes to the huddle he's given three plays by the offensive coordinator: 2 run, 1 pass. It's then his decision to make the call at the line, based on the defensive scheme presented by the other team.
To call him an a-hole? That's just unreasonable. Show me some facts. And leave the Irsay family out of it. That's an old excuse and it has been 23 years.
