If his last name was not Manning, do you think he would have been a #1 draft pick? I don't.
If his last name was not Manning, do you think ESPN would still have a hefty man crush on him? I don't.
If his last name was not Manning, do you think he would have got Super Bowl MVP with the same stats? I don't?

Now for the bigger question... is he better than Brees or Rivers?
I say "HELL NO!!!"

Like said... the QB situation in San Diego benefited both teams.
You know what was really funny? Raiders fans taking smack when Brooks came to their team and ending up at 2-14!!! LOL!!!
