Yeah Peyton was always a good punching bag for Florida fans, how the TV announcers were always falling over themselves to compliment him, just to have Wuerffel smoke him, every time. It was almost comical. I thought he was crazy not to come out after his Junior year, being projected #1 overall, and give up on all that money and stick with Fat Fulmer. But maybe he knew best after all, since he’s arguably the greatest QB of all time, even though his senior year was a pretty big disappointment overall.
I always liked Eli better in college, probably more for following his father’s footsteps at Ole Miss, but I didn’t really like the shenanigans they pulled when he was being drafted. Once again maybe they were right, but it just didn’t set right with me. After meeting Peyton though, and he was so over the top gracious for no reason to some nobody like me, I truly believed they are good people. Maybe I’m wrong, but I’m usually a pretty good judge.

Iām not the only one who calls him that!
