Can you imagine VY playing with a broken foot & face?

Big Ben is a lowlife who you would not want anywhere near your teenage daughter. But he is probably a hall of fame player and one of the top 5 Qbs in the league.

I think it is fair to look at the top QBs and their durability and reliability in comparison to VY. The Manning's never miss a start and Brady only missed time when he hurt his knee. Brees and Rivers have been reliable as well and we don't even need mention Favre.

How many starts has Joe Flacco missed since coming into the league? None.


Seems that the top Qbs are the most reliable ones. A player can't help his team when he is not playing.

 

The Manning's also have 2 of the better offensive lines in the league. I know whenever I watch a colts game..freaking Peyton hardly ever gets touched !

 

We all wanted VY to be the next Steve McNair, it never happened. Sad, but true.

 

Titans OL would look great too - if they were allowed to tackle like the ponie OL

 

Are you serious? Peyton Manning has over 200 consecutive starts(12 years!) only because of his offensive line? Get real!

 

Uhh... not sure what Mannings you are talking about, but it's not Peyton and Eli.

Peyton Manning has one of the worst offensive lines in the league. The Colts are brutal up front almost every year.

The reason Peyton never gets touched is because he's a master at getting rid of the ball quickly (without losing accuracy). He makes all his reads and then makes the correct decision in half the time it takes most quarterbacks.

 

and yet he sucks - go figure.

 

When's the last time you saw Payton take a big hit? He's good at getting rid of the ball fast, yes, but he's also scared to take a hit. When's the last time you saw Payton run up field and block for his RB?

Not saying he's bad, but if someone picked him up and dumped him on his head like James Harrison did to Vince, they'd be suspended for the season. Same goes for Brady, they created a rule after Brady's knee injury.

Favre and McNair are the only QBs I'd put in their own league of toughness. Vince does get hurt a lot but a lot of that isn't really his fault. The knee tweaks could have happened to anyone, the fact that he wasn't out for the season when he got rolled back on top of his knee this season is astounding. Hitting his hand on someone's helmet after making a throw? That can happen to anyone and he even wanted to go back in after that.

He's just had some bad luck with injuries this year, its not like his body is injury prone.

 

You do know that with the exception of this year Tennessee's Oline has been a top ten unit since we drafted Young.

 

Our line has also always been a lot better at run blocking, rather than pass.
