Personally, I think he’s a great player, and from all accounts, a great person. His story of redemption so far after being tossed aside in Indy because of his neck issues, is also another great reason to root for him. He's an all-time great, but best ever? The guy is sub-500 in the playoffs, has 1 ring, and has even lost in the big game. The argument that his defenses have been less than stellar is true. But he's always been stacked with offensive weapons - Harrison, Wayne, Clark, James, and so on. In Denver - too many weapons to list.

The counter argument to that is that a team can only be dominant in offense or defense – and his teams obviously are offensive teams. So, what gives? And he hasn’t been stellar in the big games – even in the 2006 Super Bowl win he was very average. He's made critical mistakes at critical points of playoffs games which cost his team a chance to win. Does the best in any sport ever do this? I don't think so. To be the best at something, shouldn’t you be the best when it counts the most?

I wish him the best and he's one of my favorites. I just find all the "Best Ever" coverage unreasonable. What are your thoughts?
