In my rat's ass of an opinion, the following was both a highlight and a lowlight in Manning's Colts tenure ........
The Colts starting the 2011 season at 0-13 and finishing it at 2-14 without Manning.
If you want to know how valuable a player is to his team, take him off of the team and see how they fare without him. That provision was on blatant display in that disastrous 2011 season.
The 2008 Patriots, on the other hand, went 11-5 without Tom Brady. The following season, the 2009 Patriots went 10-6 with him back behind the center.
Manning could almost singlehandedly carry an average (or even a below average) team into playoff contention year after year. Brady might have been able to do the same if he had to, but he was never put in that position.
