It`s a simple comparison, but the similarities are downright scary. Both played on AFC powers that were always contenders that fell short in the playoffs.  The numbers as far as passing stats look alike. As Peyton hits 30 he has not been injured or missed any time as his teams starting QB.   It wasn`t until Marino`s 11th season that he was limited to 5 games because of injury. Anyone wanna bet on Peyton`s streak after watching him try to avoid the pass rush since the SanDiego game? You simply can`t win by ignoring the running game. The selfish blame the rest of the team attitude that Marino made famous is developing at a record setting clip following the Colts loss to the Steelers-not Peyton Manning or his passing statistics loss though. Fact is Pittsburgh`s secondary isn`t that good, Polamolu is fantastic but not so much in coverage down the field---Where was the pattoned Peyton play fake? Who was that flustered Manning throwing the ball quickly to an outlet with his feet moving. No not Eli this time...it was Peyton. Sure he`s still one of the NFL`s greatest ever a regular season passing machine, but ask Marino if he`s give up all those records for one Super Bowl trophy. He`d say yes, and that he wouldn`t share it with anyone who doesn`t catch passes or wear Isotoner gloves blocking for him. The time is now Peyton to grow up and avoid being like the QB of Christmas past. Your final greatness will be judged by team titles, not just gaudy passing stats, just ask Dan.
