Side side note - They probably score on every single drive. So if their D can get them the ball back quickly, they score more like 50-60 every game. I go Manning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seminoles1 Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Who does better? Uh...I don't know a single starting QB (like, consistent starting QB. Not one offs) in history who wouldn't win the suber bowl every year if this supporting cast is even remotely healthy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iknowcool Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 I think this group fits better with Rodgers' style of play than it does Manning's. Obviously they would both feast but I think A-Rod's ability to extend plays with his legs maximizes the damage Moss and Calvin can do. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayRaider Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Athletic receivers would do better with Manning. Manning will go off-script and take advantage of their athleticism. Rodgers is about premium route-running, efficiency, and rarely going off script. Athletic WR’s will still get their numbers with Rodgers, but I can’t see them reaching their potential like they would with Manning. Manning will make athletic WR’s look better. However, Rodgers would make bums off the street look way better and mid round picks look way better than Manning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duluther Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 The purpose of this exercise is to isolate QB play from poor talent. I feel Manning’s ability to scheme away from the defense enables lesser talent to be in position to win vs better talent. In this exercise, Manning’s scheming becomes nearly irrelevant. So who can make the best reads post snap and make the most plays? Rodgers. Regarding the first part, he throws far less INTs; regarding the second part, he can make every throw… for as great as Peyton was, he couldn’t make every throw on every snap infinitum.

diamondbull424 Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Peyton Manning is the better QB and if not for having to deal with a far superior conference to what Rodgers dealt with, he’d have had more rings to show. But the answer is him, he’s getting 6500+ yards passing and 60+ TDs with this offense. We’ve got 17 games and an onslaught of talent. Manning is also far less dependent on an offensive scheme as he IS the scheme. Also these guys are all going to respect Manning, whereas Rodgers personality might cause some conflict and that’s about the only thing I can think of that would limit this offense’s potential would be ego. Manning has the communication ability to keep all these egos in check, whereas Rodgers might throw some gasoline on the fire and suddenly TO is pissed off and a locker room cancer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancerman Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Manning. He’s a better QB and does more of the little things well compared to Rodgers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
