Peyton proves critics wrong

Many underestimated Peyton Manning as he entered Super Bowl XLI. In the past three years he has thrown his chances to compete in the coveted game in the playoffs. Most blame him and his failure to lead his team due to his mistakes he made on the field. In comparison to former Miami Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino, if Manning wouldn't have went on to win this year he would have been referred to as another has been. Like Marino, Peyton has had many chances and would have been considered to have the same curse of making it to the Super Bowl and never winning a ring. Luckily for Manning and like Marino, his name will go down as argueably one of the best quarterbacks of his time. The distinction between the two is that Manning can proudly wear his ring...that is until next season ;)
