Default Re: Peyton Manning, Greatest QB of all time?

In this month's issue of Maxim, Dan Marino ranks the current top QBs.

"Tom Brady
Dan says: 'He's number one over Peyton because he's won three Super Bowls. But both of these guys are in a league of their own.'
Telling stat: Brady is 10-1 in playoff games
Factoid: In 2004 Brady became the youngest QB to win his second Super Bowl MVP. It was his third year as a starter.

Peyton Manning
Dan says: 'I don't think he's missed a snap as a starter. He's just your great prototypical franchise quarterback.'
Telling stat: Peyton has a career passer rating of 94.0
Factoid: Peyton roughed up Marino's record for touchdown passes in a season when he threw 49 TDs in 2004. But can he beat his dome baby rap? "

The list is rounded out with Carson Palmer, Marc Bulger, and Eli Manning.

I think it's very surprising to see Dan Marino of all people glorify Brady solely because of his Super Bowl rings. After reading the Patriots rant thread I think it is very surprising to see Brady even mentioned in the same breath as Peyton Manning when talking about all time greats.

Not to mention Eli Manning in the top 5, Eli Manning isn't one of the 5 best quarterbacks in the NFC East.

LOL at Marino putting Peyton below Brady because he doesn't have a ring.

It's a pretty typical thing to do. Ex. "I'm think Peyton is better and I'm a Pats fan" as if the fact that it's different then what your inner fan would tell you is comperable to fact.
