In their careers, Peyton Manning has averaged 30 passing TD's a year (highest ever), while John only averaged 21.
Manning has ten 4000+ passing yard seasons (highest ever) and John has just one.
but...
John went to 5 superbowls and Peyton has only been to 2.
John has 2 superbowl wins and Peyton has 1.
John had 3407 rushing yards and 33 TD's while Peyton has 704 rushing yards and 17 TD's.
So I guess the first breakdown (favoring Peyton) shows why people think of Manning as the best regular season QB ever; And the second breakdown shows that Elway is more clutch in the playoffs and is more of a complete QB becuase he can both scramble and pass the ball.
In the end, you can sway the stats the way you want, and Peyton's passing stats during the regualar season blow Elway's out the water, but I still would want my boy for his all around play.
