Yes, he is scarily good. And the Colts are good enough to win the Super Bowl. I doubted them for a while, but they can do it. I don't think they WILL (I don't think they'll win back to back games in Foxboro and Pittsburgh), but they're clicking.

Peyton is good but he's not a great quarterback yet. I mean he's no John Elway. He hasn't proved that he can win the big games against the toughest teams. He hasn't proved that he can lead a winning drive when he's running out of time and he has to score now. The Chargers are just one year out from having a very weak defense and they disrupted Peyton's passing game fairly well for the first three quarters. If the Bolts had covered kickoffs better today, they would have won.

Peyton strikes me as more of an intense competitive guy who's up for every game even against the weak teams. He's like Marino in that sense, so they both rack up big statistics against the bad defensive teams. But I think the guys who are a little more relaxed, like Elway and Montana, are able to crank their game up to another level for the big playoff and Super Bowl games. We'll see if Peyton has another level to his game. I don't know yet.

That's right. They seem to have serious problems in Foxboro and Pittsburgh. I hope, but don't think, the Colts are Superbowl caliber yet. They're close but not quite there.
