If Peyton Manning was drafted by the Patriots

How many superbowls?

Patriots would probably have the same with Belichick as coach.

 

[HammerDown]

Every season of his career. They wouldn't have lost many games.

What Peyton Manning did in Indy and resurrecting a dead team in Denver proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that he's the greatest who's ever played.

 

[Steelboy84]

3-4

If he had a defense in Indy, he'd had won at least three I think.

Surrounded by the greatness they had in New England? They'd have won every year with Manning.

I dunno about that but he would easily 5 IMO.

It would not have been every year. Tom Brady didn't win the Super Bowl in his best season, one where he had stats like Peyton Manning. Actually, it was a season where he was breaking Peyton Manning's stats.

I honestly could see more or less. He would have had more help on defense, but Peyton did make the mistakes that were responsible for several of the losses, and he wouldn't have had the talent on offense.

Aside from the year with Moss and then now with Gronk, Brady has rarely ever had great supporting players. He made dudes like Deion Branch and Troy Brown look amazing.

Wayne/Harrison were far and away better receivers than whoever the Pats had way back.

Manning came into a pretty solid receiver core in Denver too. Thomas is no joke and Decker is solid. They were solid players prior to Manning's arrival and Welker needs no vouching.

Defensively!

If NE could have upgraded at QB and had THAT defense? SB every season.

1. He still would have beat Rex Grossman. But he would have gone one and done all the other times just like he always has no matter what team he's played for. That's all on him and no amount of coaching or defenses changes it.

 

[Logicallylethal]

at least 3-4 superbowls and deion branch would've been a hall of famer lol

 

[Stomp]

Barring injury at least 16 Superbowls by now and his presence would have made the Patriots defense even better number 1 every year.

 

[iowajerms]

I take it that Peyton is at least 10x better QB and team leader than Tom Brady according to some of you?

 

[Stomp]

Oh and Papa Johns would be the number one Pizza chain in the world too

How many superbowls?

No more than they have gotten into with Brady.

Now if they could have found a way to get Joe Montana a long time ago...

More inaccurate absolute statements about Manning from you. Rob. You're hopeless when it comes to him, aren't you?

He's being inaccurate about hypothetical seasons

Not true.
