You guys must have missed Indy’s last 3 games. Peyton has been struggling and the Colts have won despite his INT’s. I’m not saying he stunk it up, but definitely not MVP worthy.
 My vote goes to Favre.

but you should watch it. gonzo’s gonna yell at you, big guy. remember the name calling and swearing thing?

Cutler’s got a shot, if he keeps mixing enough TDs and wins in to go along with the occasional 4 INT game.

… when they surgically removed his infected bursa sack (no snickering) from his knee. I thought sure he’d miss a game after that, but it didn’t happen. Now I’m not so sure. He does a great job of backing out of traffic after many of his passes, which keeps him from getting caught up in the trash around his feet or smacking his hand on a helmet on his follow through. Those techniques are what has kept Favre on the field all these years. Well, that and his willingness/ability to play through pain.

All it takes is one wrong hit though, and he’s about 100 games behind, so who knows…

… though he’s smart in how he moves in the pocket. He’s had very good pass protecting OL’s for about a decade now. I’m not sure why that would change unless protecting their QB suddenly is no longer the priority for Indy when they’re drafting O-linemen. On second look at the numbers, it’s probably not too likely that he’ll catch Favre’s consecutive starts record. It’s possible, but Manning’s already 33 and will be 34 before next season. It’s possible that Manning will play and start until he’s 40, but statistically unlikely, and if he doesn’t, he probably doesn’t have enough time to catch him on the starts. As for the rest, it depends on how long Favre really plays. If Manning gets 4 years of career average numbers after Favre retires, he’ll top most of Favre’s numbers. But whether that will happen is up in the air, I guess. It’s certainly hard to imagine Favre not coming back for 2011 at least.

As for my psyche, you can thing what you like. I’d probably think the same thing if I were you. I loved watching Favre play when he was in GB, for the most part, but I was never one of the guys who thought he was the best QB of all time. With the exception of 95 and 96, I was never convinced he was the best QB in the league at the time. I preferred Steve Young early in Favre’s career and Peyton Manning later. So my position on Favre hasn’t really changed.

I will say that I did not expect the performance he’s put up in the first 10 games. I thought he was incapable of getting through a regular season with fewer than 10 picks or putting up a TD/INT ratio of 2/1 or better (let alone the 7/1 he’s got going right now). The season is breaking almost perfectly for the Vikes thus are, despite some inadvisable 40-50 attempt games in the first half. Games like today’s are important chances to minimize the throws and get him out of the game early, and the division race is over, so barring a to the wire fight for home field there will be chances to sit him down late in the year too, not to mention the fact that there’s virtually no chance he’ll have to play an important game in cold weather at all, or an important game outdoors before Miami, if you make it that far.

Peyton is just 1 injury away and I mean to his linemen.
Look what happened when Saturday went down, he started getting sacked more often. People forget that Peyton has had the same OL’s his entire career give or take 1 or 2 people for 1 or 2 weeks here and there.
He benefited from their longevity and consistence.

when you picked him on your fantasy team?
