Comments on: Eli Manning Following in Peyton’s Footsteps Again http://www.zoneblitz.com/2009/06/19/eli-manning-following-in-peytons-footsteps-again/ Two Linemen, Dropping Into Coverage Wed, 08 Feb 2012 23:56:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Charles http://www.zoneblitz.com/2009/06/19/eli-manning-following-in-peytons-footsteps-again/#comment-1763 Charles Mon, 22 Jun 2009 19:27:02 +0000 http://www.zoneblitz.com/?p=975#comment-1763 I totally agree. My problem with the two manning brothers is that they are like their other quarterback idol Dan Marino. They want to have all of the pressure on themselves so much that the rest of the team becomes no good. This is the main reason why Dan Marino never won a super bowl. In 1984 hegot what he wanted in being the main man in an offense that dazzled the National Football League World but the defense that they had in the previous seasons were so bad in 1984 that they became one of the worst defenses. They could not stop the run or the pass and when they showed up to play the San Francisco 49ers they were picked apart by the West Coast Offense that Bill Walsh had set up. Roger Craig and Wendell Tyler had a field day both running and passing and Roger Craig prooved that he was one of the best running backs in the NFL who always has played his best in the postseason and in the three superbowls. The 84 Dolphin Defense and Running Game was no factor in that superbowl and in the entire season and the rest of the 80's decade. The Indiapolis Colts are the same way. In certain seasons and in some spots they can be very dominant. However, they are so one-dementional that they are a no-factor in the postseason. Their defense cannot stop anybody and they are always getting pushed around by physical teams such as the Jacksonville Jaguars. They are one of the worst-best teams in the National Football League. Peyton Mannning is easily one of the greatest quarterbacks in the game and will go to Canton when he retires. However, a bad defense and the loss of fellow future hall of famer in Marvin Harrisson will make it impossible to win another Lombardi Trophy in the near future no matter how many games they win in the regular season. The same goes for the baby brother of one of the greatest quarterbacks Eli Manning. He has the ability to lead his team to victory but like his older brother he always struggles to win the big games. Yet even though he does not post big time numbers he is more than capable of leading his team to victory. This goes to show one that even the stars have flaws. When you play for the money then the rest of the team will begin to suffer. The superstars, especially quarterbacks need to realize that it takes a team not one player that wins a championship.
