Peyton Manning, 2nd GOAT

Peyton capped off the greatest statistical career of any QB in history with his 2nd Superbowl title.  Ultimately, his legacy is that he has changed how the QB position will ever be played.  (Brady, a system QB, has no such legacy).  The Broncos upset the 17-1 Panthers, though Carolina had the #1 offense in the league and were led by MVP, Heisman winner and BCS champion, Cam Newton.  En route to the SB, Peyton fittingly had to overcome his career nemesis, Brady in the AFC Championship (Peyton is 3-1 vs Brady in the AFC Championship).

A few more notable facts:

- Peyton is the only QB to win championships with 2 different teams.

- He has reached the SB 4 different times with 4 different coaches.

- He is also the oldest QB to win a SB at age 39.  Elway did it at 38.

- Peyton has become the only QB to get to 200 total regular season and playoff wins, besting Favre's 199 wins.

- With the SB win, Peyton finishes with a winning playoff record at 14-13.

- He is the 12th QB to win multiple championships.  Now only Montana (GOAT), Bradshaw, Brady and Aikman have more.

- In regular season stats, Peyton finishes first with all-time most MVPs, passing TDs, passing yards and wins.  He is by far the best regular season QB ever.
