Should this carry any weight as part of the overall consideration of this debate? Peyton Manning out for the season and the team wins 1 game (or was it 2). Tom Brady is out for the season and the team still goes 11-5 with Cassel of all QB's (yikes) Brett Favre is out for the season, oh wait....never except for the end of his career in MN. Just making sure this was seen due to timing and the fact we are on the next page now.

But why should "best OC" even play into this? We are looking for the best QB. Who played the position the best. Maybe I'm just being hard headed, but if we have 2 QBs (A & B), and A has better numbers in the regular season and post season, I'm not going to chose B because I liked the quirky things he did in the huddle better. Consider a 1 mile race. If one man beats the other to the finish line by a minute but the slower one danced and flung skittles from his pockets along the way, I won't say the slower man is the best runner even if I enjoyed the dancing. The "best" one is the one that wins. Yes but calling plays and reading a defense serves more of a purpose than throwing Skittles. Like it or not having the smartest guys to ever play the game running your huddle IS a benefit and that is part of playing the position.

Ok so by that logic shouldn't Favre (who has better stats all around then Manning to start) be considered the best ever because he started 297 games in a row. Because it's obviously more important/impressive for stud QB to be starting for you then taking games/seasons off with injury right? You want consistancy and reliability from the QB position. I also disagree with the smartest QB idea. Again he wasn't good come post season. I refuse to call a guy that can't even post a winning record in the playoffs the smartest ever. Maybe if he listened to his OC more they could have won a few more games. (BTW Beast Mode disagrees with your skittle throwing comment!)

Honestly, I am more impressed with Jenn Sterger than Brett Favre and would feel just as comfortable with her throwing a pick in the NFC Championship Game as I would Favre

I don't know where I would rank Peyton on the all-time list, but I can say that I am thrilled he is in Denver now. (Sorry I know this answer is a bit off topic.)
