Regular season against NFC teams, Manning's teams are 43 - 21. That is a .672 winning percentage.

Post season, Manning's teams are 9 - 11. That is a .450 winning percentage.

Again, for a guy who is so smart and who has put up such outrageous numbers on offense, having, at best, a .500 winning percentage in the post season and getting dumped in the first round on more than one occasion means that Manning is no more than an average QB against good teams.

Part of the reason for this, imho, is because Manning is stuborn.

No matter what the down, distance or place on the field he is, Manning thinks doing things his way is the right way. This works against bad teams but not against good teams.

Manning thinks that laterals, reverses and flea flickers (gimmick plays) though legal are beneath him. That is why his teams hardly EVER run those plays. Whereas opposing teams have no problem using thiose plays against Manning's teams.

However, it is those EXACT plays that need to be called sometimes to get GOOD teams out of their mindset against him. Yet Manning wont call those plays and he loses because of it.

Sorry I can't take anything you say serious when you say peyton is just average.
