DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 On 7/27/2016 at 4:17 PM, BroncoBuff said: Saved his best for last: His 1st, 2nd and 4th best yardage years were in Denver, as were his 1st, 3rd and 4th best TD pass seasons. Oddly, his WORST season ever - his last -was the year he won his second Super Bowl. Peyton played just 9 1/2 regular season games, but was second in the league with 17 interceptions (Bortles). Suck on that you monochromatic knuckle draggers with your freakishly lucky quarterback history. I couldn't care less about those stats. If 99% of casual football fans wouldn't be aware of (or care about) those stats, how is that a helpful indicator at all that he should be known as a Bronco? He spent 13 years of a Hall of Fame career in Indianapolis. Denver is his wrong uniform. If his HoF bust had a hat on it, he wouldn't even hesitate before picking a Colts hat. I think you might be doing a bit though, fishing for dopey overreactions like mine. If so, well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 FWIW, Peyton turned down Indy's (ridiculous) one-day contract offer to retire as a Colt. And if you asked him to pick ONE team which defines him, he wouldn't. In four years, the man pretty much became as much of a legend in Denver as he did in Indianapolis. Fitting he won one ring in both cities. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopernv Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 It's entirely possible that a player doesn't have a wrong jersey. As a neutral with no "favourite" NFL team, I see Manning as a Colt and a Bronco. He performed well in both cities. If he went to, say, Tennessee for a season and stunk up the place a la Favre, then you may have a point about him being in a wrong jersey.

It's always been a cool little quirk.

BroncoBuff Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 It's al just for fun guys, anything for a laugh. Not really fishing DC Corky, actually thought only Dolts fans might take it seriously. And like it or not, stats do matter, especially record-breaking ones. But really I was just going for a laugh (see my sig) ....... Because of COURSE the Colts will, in time, be the obviously "correct" uniform for Peyton Manning. Right now while the Super Bowl and his retirement are fresh, a good chunk of your 99% might pick Denver though ........... On Thursday, July 28, 2016 at 1:25 PM, dont care said: Bert Jones- Who? John Elway- Refused to play there and was traded Jeff George- Are you seriously calling him a good QB. He was the Ryan Leaf before Ryan Leaf. Bert Jones "who?" What are you, 16? It's debates like these you wish you had an expert handy ... maybe like a Bill Belichick to school youngsters such as yourself. At the very least Bert Jones was League MVP in 1976, though he managed just a 9-year 96 start injury plagued - errr ravaged - career. Lost to the Steelers 3x in the playoffs. _____________________ And MY POINT IS that the Colts were crazy-lucky to be in position to draft like that - in fact, the Colts have had more #1 overall picks than any team - seven - a whopping SIX of which have come in the Super Bowl era, plus an additional TWELVE Top 5 picks in the Super Bowl era. How the QBs turned out is a different story - some, like Elway, their own fault: Frank Kush was a ball-breaker, plus he quit the next season anyway, pouting because Irsay wouldn't move the team to Arizona. First they had Johnny Unitas for 16 years These 5 picks, all but George labeled to some extent "best of generation." Plus Art Schlichter 4th overall 12 other Top 5 picks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think they were that personal (but I don't know anything about baseball). Yes, and I believe it is because of the double flaps v single flaps. MiLB requires helmets to have ear flaps on both sides, rather than just the side facing the pitcher as in MLB. Also, i think it might have to do with cost as well. Cheaper to let a player wear his own accessories and helmet that issue him new ones for a single game. 1 Quote Formerly known as DiePerske Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks under the facemask to me, like it's the beginning stages of a horse collar tackle. Regardless, it's a great pic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
