Re: Peyton Manning, Greatest QB of all time?
[ QUOTE ]
What is that about? Why does/did Manning take every snap of every game? Seriously, I'd like to see a really good argument for this.

It's pretty much standard operating procedure -- most teams leave their starters in all the way even during a blowout (not that the Colts blew a lot of teams out this year, remember). Maybe an average backup gets (literally) one or two mop-up drives in which he just hands the ball off a few times, but do you really think that that prepares a QB for anything significant? It would be much more valuable to have him take extra snaps with the first team in practice.
