Peyton Manning, Greatest QB of all time?

[battschr]

I don't think Manning's o-line is all that great.

What do you mean by that? Are people still hung up on the comment about the protection breaking down a year (or 2?) ago? Because if I remember it right it sounded as much like a shot at himself as it did the O-line. Hes the one who is supposed to read the defense and call the play/protection so if the protection was bad, he would share the blame.

Also, relevant/interesting chat from FO this weekend:

Michael David Smith: Am I the only one on the FO staff who thinks the Colts have a bad o-line? When I watch plays like that Addai pick up of six inches on third-and-four inches, I just feel like the Colts’ line is the worst in the league at pushing forward in short yardage, which in my opinion is the most important thing a line has to do.

Mike Tanier: Greg Cosell at NFL Films told me in December that they have an average at best line made better by Peyton. But they really looked good against the Eagles, the Ravens last week … I really had them scouted out as better than this. They really look awful.

Aaron Schatz: Well, the Colts’ line is definitely terrible at pushing forward in short yardage, and has been for years and years. Not the only way to judge a line, but they do suck at it.
