If they would've overturned the call it would've still only been Brees's record on a technicality anyways, Peyton would've had an entire 2nd half to get it if it was called a run anyways.

How many people on this message board would be saying the same things they're saying if it was Brees in this situation? I'd say not too many. There'd be a whole lot of "He deserved it anyways and it doesn't even matter because he would've gotten it had he not been benched." People are still pretty angry over Drew's MVP snub and I understand that, but there's no need to hold a grudge over the man who clearly deserved this record with his play.

I also really don't understand the "he only has one ring!" argument either, does our very own Elite QB not only have 1 ring as well? In what, only 3 less years than Manning if you count Peyton's injury? Will we be saying the same thing about Brees in 3 years if we don't have another Lombardi trophy in our case?

I really don't understand the "well he has better players!" argument either, I mean I understand Welker (which was just a great signing by Elway anyways) but Thomas was just an extremely raw player with untapped potential when Peyton arrived, Decker was some mid round player who was coming off a good year but was never a "pro bowl" type player until you know who showed up(admittedly I really liked him coming out of Minnesota and would've loved it if he was drafted by the Saints). Who the hell was Julius Thomas before this year? And was Moreno not considered a bust before Peyton opened up some running lanes for him?

Point being, if you run good routes and can catch floaters right to your chest you're going to be a good receiver with Manning. I mean, who the hell is Blair White? Austin Collie? What ever happened to that guy?(concussions, but still). Stokley's career year when he had 10 TDs(what??) and 1000 yards was with Peyton. Sure he's had Wayne, Clark, and Harrison , but that doesn't take away from the fact that Peyton is the smartest QB to ever play the game and did nothing but help those players become what the're known for today.

Brees is a HOF QB and there's maybe only 2 other QB's I'd start a team with and that's Manning and maybe Brady(Belichick no doubt groomed this lanky 6th round 3rd string QB into a HOFer he is known as today). But I'm not going to sit here and hold a grudge and make excuses as to why he's the only player to throw for 55 TDs, 5477 yards and the other dozen records he's broken.

That's all beside the point. The FACT is he didn't break it. It's not about who held the record it's about historical accuracy. If the NFL doesn't correct this it means the records are a joke. You can just make up BS so the guy you want can hold whatever record they want him to. This is just one more blemish on the already tarnished shield. MLB has it's drug scandal and the NFL has Rodger Goodell.

Allowing Manning to hold record when everybody knows he didn't set is a disgrace.

Just because I don't think he should be given a record he didn't accomplish doesn't make me a hater. I have nothing against Manning.

That's all a matter of opinion, I personally think that he would've had a whole half to get the record if the refs didn't call it a pass on the field and if they overturned the 7 yard pass to a run I would've had to put an asterisk next to his record because it would only still be Brees's on a technicality. You're free to have you're own opinion about it, that's just how I feel.



And I didn't say everyone had something against manning, but obviously there are some people that do hold that grudge and will use it against him until the day he retires.

You live in a world where only good "ifs" happen.

If it didn't happen, it didn't happen.

By your logic Graham should have the TE TD record. "If " Drew had thrown it to him two more times in the endzone instead of running the click out he would have has it.

If my aunt had ballz she would be my uncle. But she doesn't and I'm glad for it... Uncles Kneel and Bob wouldn't go over well for Christmas.
