He managed one sustained drive the entire game to get 7 points, and only managed to get 3 points out of 2 gifted turnovers. By what measure was that good QB play?

Why are people mocking the 39 year old winning QB

Bravescoug

They're ageists.

Hoosier Cougar

Because he played like crap and he is the worst QB to have ever won a super bowl

Josef K

You serious? This is a silly statement, he had a terrible season, but was not

Dilfer was much better than Manning.

Which is great. I like Mannnig a lot. But he is a TERRIBLE QB.

lololololol

No longer tied with Favre on wins - yesterday was 200 for Peyton

BYUFam1

2/8/16 8:51am

Yep, that win put him as the all time wins leader

goose

2/8/16 8:54am

Top three QB of all time.

Josef K

2/8/16 9:00am

I get that, but he was hurt for most of the season, he knew his role and.....

goose

2/8/16 9:03am

That is a demonstrably false statement

workindev

2/8/16 8:33am

It is demonstrably true. Worst passer rating in the NFL. 9/17 TD/INT ratio.

Josef K

2/8/16 8:39am

Carson Palmer, Brian Hoyer, and AJ McCarron all had worse post season QB ratings

workindev

2/8/16 8:43am

Okay. If you want to discuss this post season: 9.9 post season QBR. WORST EVER.

Josef K

2/8/16 9:04am

Meh, it happened to one of the all time greatest. He knew his place and his role

goose

2/8/16 8:33am

The ole ball scratch / handshake on your sig gif

workindev

2/8/16 8:47am

He actually didn't play like crap. He couldn't convert in the red zone, and

Why is it mocking to say he played poorly? Are you related?

SouthernBlueBlood

2/8/16 8:23am

Yes

Bravescoug

2/8/16 8:30am

Apparently because he's white

LV Mike

2/8/16 8:26am

What?

scootsy

2/8/16 8:33am

Oh, right . . . whites can't use the race card. My bad.

LV Mike

2/8/16 8:35am

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Regardless, why should whites be allowed to use the race card?

scootsy

2/8/16 8:50am

White isn't a race??????

ByuMba90

2/8/16 8:57am

Pay them no mind. They don't understand why it's cool

Cochise Cat

2/8/16 8:26am

did Newton play worse?

smokymountainrain

2/8/16 8:26am

Much

Bravescoug

2/8/16 8:29am

Higher QBR, more yards passing, despite playing against a better defense.

smokymountainrain

2/8/16 8:30am

Didn't attempt to recover a fumble that was his for the taking when

LV Mike

2/8/16 8:34am

so you're saying he made mistakes and didn't play well. pretty sure that

smokymountainrain

2/8/16 8:35am

You're saying game losing "mistakes" are not part of the "play well" equation?

LV Mike

2/8/16 8:43am

again, did I say Newton played well?

smokymountainrain

2/8/16 8:44am

You suggested he played better than the winning QB based on stats

LV Mike

2/8/16 8:47am

I didn't say he played better. I listed some reasons one could argue

smokymountainrain

2/8/16 8:49am

He also had more turnovers, and was completely incapable of scoring points

workindev

2/8/16 8:35am

is somebody saying he played well? wow. reading comprehension isn't

smokymountainrain

2/8/16 8:36am

Uh, you did

workindev

2/8/16 8:44am

I guess I'm not seeing the part where I said he played well.

smokymountainrain

2/8/16 8:50am

More yards passing because Carolina had to pass, Denver called a conservative

gilbertatty

2/8/16 8:36am

again, that wasn't the argument. Bravescoug said Newton played worse and

smokymountainrain

2/8/16 8:38am

Lack of heart = playing worse. You seem to be the one with comprehension fail

LV Mike

2/8/16 8:39am

how does one measure heart? I'd say he played with plenty of "heart"

smokymountainrain

2/8/16 8:41am

If you feel that refusing to dive on a fumble right in front of him = "heart"

LV Mike

2/8/16 8:44am

Manning led offense = 17 points, Newton led offense = 10 points

workindev

2/8/16 8:45am

so turnovers by teammates, dropped passes, etc, aren't part of the

smokymountainrain

2/8/16 8:47am

Huh? Newton was directly responsible for 3 of the 4 Carolina turnovers

workindev

2/8/16 9:01am

Mrs. Newton, Cam did not play well enough to win. He is young and may make it

BYUinTX

2/8/16 9:11am

He did? Don't think so. Manning did next to nothing. He didn't turn it over

Singcat

2/8/16 8:36am

yep. both QBs played really bad. to say one clearly outplayed the other is funny

smokymountainrain

2/8/16 8:39am

I never said hey won because of Manning. I never even said he played well. I

Bravescoug

2/8/16 10:42am

13 of 23 for Manning. 18 of 41 for Newton.

Cochise Cat

2/8/16 11:49am

He turned over twice. Once on a terrible interception and the other was a fumble
