Re- Luck, I think he has a great chance to have a career that exceeds Manning's as a winner. He'll NEVER out stat Manning, but he's also 100% concerned with winning however need be... you don't see him checking out of run plays inside the 2 so he can throw yet another TD, or break records.. you see him just getting it done (ugly, pretty, checking to a run, etc). I really like Manning, and always have, but I've also never seen anyone who seems so aware of his stats.. nor have I ever seen someone throw the ball so much inside the 5 yard line, or continue to rack up passing stats into the 3rd/4th quarter of games that are basically over. More power to him (and his fantasy owners), he's great, but stats don't always equal win (see Super Bowl XIX- Montana v Marino, or Giants v Bills).
