Leaning...

Best Quarterback ever...Terry Bradshaw? No probably not, on a defensive team right? Alright, Tom Brady, definitely entitled to the conversation, 4 Super Bowls and won 3 of them. But John Elway's been to 5, the most all-time for a quarterback. Ok he only won two, but he was there throughout his career. If you're not from Denver can you name anyone on the team the years they didn't win, most of you couldn't. If your arguement is defined by Super Bowl wins and losses you have to say Joe Montana right? 4-0 and part of a dynasty we will all remember, and oh yeah, he got to throw to the greatest receiver of all time.

If you don't have to win a Super Bowl to be in the conversation the obviously Warren Moon is the best to ever play the game.

Ok why am rambling about this? "How 'bout, Peyton Manning, 6'5 250 quarterback with a laser rocket arm." I think if you've never seen Peyton Manning play you'd have a hard time believing someone trying to explain to you he's the best ever. I mean, he's never won the big game, well once. But he played in a boring Super Bowl against a one hit wonder Bears team, hardly memorable. He also has kind of a big head (which there's nothing wrong with), kind of stale with interviews, and he beats the Titans at least once a year but usually twice. His dry sarcastic sense of humor and clean cut interviews and hair cut makes a lot of people hate him. I hated him once. Then he won the Super Bowl and made a bunch of funny commercials so now I respect him and hope he wins his 2nd Super Bowl. I'm just not so sure I don't want the Saints to win more.

Peyton will be most remembered for his audibles at the line of scrimmage, his perfect passes, and the fact that he may go his whole career with out taking a serious hit. He's certainly on his way to breaking Marino and Favre's passing records. Most analyists and water cooler chatter say if he wins on Sunday he WILL BE the best ever. Quite a statement, but I'm starting to believe it myself.

So who do you root for? Peyton or Katrina? Reggie W or Reggie B? I've said it before, if this were the Saints 3 years ago I'd be all for them, but they're not the pobrecito team anymore. It would be awesome to see one of the worst football franchises of all time win the ultimate game. But we could also be watching the greatest quarterback of all time reach the pinnacle of his career.

The only thing that's decided for me at this point is that the score needs to end Saints x6 to Colts x1 and I won't care who wins.
