It's not easy to replace a legend. Ask Brock Osweiler, the backup quarterback for the Denver Broncos, behind Peyton Manning for the last three-and-one-half years. The former Arizona State quarterback has waited while Manning has continued to set records, become the all-time leader in yards passing, beating the record of Brett Favre, of 71,838, and set the record for the most touchdown passes, 509. He has also led his team to the playoffs every year and a Super Bowl loss. Does Osweiler have what it takes to replace Manning when he retires, or can't come back from injury? Time will tell, but he will start his first NFL game on Sunday, November 22, against the Chicago Bears, for the injured Manning.
Manning's accomplishments are legendary. They include the most yards passing in a season, 5,477, the single season record for touchdown passes, 55, and most seasons passing for more than 4,000 yards, 13. Osweiler has not played that much behind Manning, so what can Broncos' fans expect? Those in the team's organization have made comments that show they believe in him and expect a lot.

It doesn’t matter that Peyton Manning is playing the worst football of his career; the narrative of this game is Brady V. Manning. Without question, Tom Brady is the better quarterback in this matchup. He’s playing at an MVP caliber level- carrying his less talented team to the AFC championship- while Manning, is asked to platy well enough to not lose the game. He relies on his championship caliber defense. Ironically, this is probably the most talented team Peyton Manning as been apart of- yet, I would be shocked
Danny Trevathan recovered from knee surgery to lead the Denver Broncos with 110 tackles. The inside linebacker can hold up in coverage too with six defended passes and two picks. The Youngstown native is entering his prime and could be expensive, but would totally be worth it. Unfortunately, Denver won’t likely let Trevathan slip through their grasps.
When people talk about the greatest of football, Peyton Manning and Joe Montana are the first names that come to mind. Although Manning is still playing American football, he and Montana are huge role models to many young quarterbacks. For example, Tom Brady, Eli Manning, Peyton Manning’s younger brother, even Cam Newton, who is one of the newest quarterbacks in the NFL, have been affected by either Manning or Montana. Both athletes have had a great career in NCAA and NFL, leaving their mask and setting the bar very high for other players. However, every kingdom has only one king. Many will say that Montana is the better of the two quarterbacks; however, Peyton Manning is the better quarterback because of many statistical reasons.

Their is a backup QB, but he is not as good as The Great Aaron Rodgers. They have no choice but to put their backup in.

To start off, Tom Brady has broken a lot of records. Some of his records include the most super bowl wins by a quarterback, most super bowl MVP selections, has won twenty five of the thirty four playoff games he has started in, has been selected to twelve pro bowls, and he has the most divisions won by a single quarterback (Doeden). For instance, he also has led the Patriots from a losing team to a winning team. With Tom Brady starting at quarterback the Patriots have never had a losing season (Doeden). In addition, he also has broken records for his stats. One of the records he broke was the best Touchdown to interception ratio of 28-2, because of this he wants to play until he is fourth eight (Reyes). At this years Super Bowl he had a great game. The Patriots overcame a twenty five point deficit and took the game to the first Super Bowl overtime game, he threw his first post season pick six ever after playing in thirty four playoff games, and in the last six possessions of the game he lead his team to four touchdowns and a field goal (Craig). After all, he did this all while his family was going through tough times. His mom was battling cancer and Brady dedicated the win to her (Hofforth). This is why Tom Brady is the best quarterback to ever live.

Peyton Manning may be good at football but we can all agree that everyone would rather pay money to watch some adorable puppies run around with a football. Make all of the dog's look-alikes. That would make for much more interesting fantasy football.
