WUT? So it's Peyton's nice guy southern images fault for racism against black QB's.. how about Tom Brady's dreamy golden boy image? His fault for racism towards black QB's also?
IDK about racism, but LOL at this.
Brady gets WAY more heat and criticism than Manning. It's BECAUSE he's a pretty boy with the seemingly perfect life that he gets hate...ESPECIALLY because he's had a far more successful career than "The Chosen One", Peyton Manning, the guy who was SUPPOSED to be the GOAT. Might also have to do with the fact that Brady plays for the Pats, a team that is pretty universally hated.
But yeah, the media hypes up Peyton Manning as the GOAT every chance they get, while they excuse everything away whenever he screws up. Meanwhile, I've never seen another QB of his caliber get questioned as much as Brady. People try to give all the credit to Belichick, or the defense, or the O-line, and when all else fails, Spygate. Manning gets all the credit when his team wins, but then has people like you make every excuse in the book for him when his team loses and he plays like crap.
What are you talking about? First let me put this out there.. I'm an Eagles fan. I have no dog in this fight.
Second, Manning was given grief his whole career until he won his first SB.. you think this calling him a choker is a new thing?
And this idea that you're pushing about Brady getting criticized more than Manning is a crock of garbage... Brady won his ring way early in his career and from that moment on he could do no wrong.. first it was a lucky throw and catch by Manning and Tyree.. then it was Welkers fault for not catching a ball when it was Brady who overthrew him.
Brady is the golden boy.. the media cemented him as a top 5 Qb before he even played 10 seasons in the league and Manning was always perceived as a great regular season QB and a not so great post season QB even though he always went into big playoff games with a weak ass defense.
And judging by your screen name I know for damn sure you're biased whereas I'm not a fan of the team either of these guys have played for.
And finally you're going to lol at my post but the guy who blamed Manning for the reason black Qb's are slighted is okay in you're book.. without giving credence to the country we live in and the history behind said country? Give me a damn break and step the hell off.
