In response to "There are teams that win superbowls that rest their players. Teams with a loss not going for the perfect season rest them all the damn time." by Redmond

That strategy has never worked out for Indy, though.

Posted by the wrong element, bad guy (aka JFields) Dec 27 '09, 15:59

They've rested players more than once after they've locked up the top seed. They have never made the Super Bowl, let alone won it, when they've done that.

When they did win the Super Bowl, they had to play their starters every game.

as I've been led to understand, using facts and evidence against Redmond isn't fair. -- nm - Reagen Dec 27, 16:03 25
- How about: I was always told quitters never win. Indy just quit on the rest of the season. Now they'll never win. - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 27, 16:13
- The Indy coach obviously agrees with me. -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 16:04 23
  - No, Peyton doesn't, I'd bet. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 27, 16:05 22
    - We can both agree on this. -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 16:07 21
      - No, you said the coach agrees...I said I'm sure Peyton doesn't. Since Peyton's very likely the coach of Indy..we disagree - Will Hunting Dec 27, 16:09 20
        
        As we saw last week. The Star Quarterback isn't always right. -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 16:10 19
        
        Peyton Manning as a game technician is about 100x better then Brett Favre can dream of being. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 27, 16:11 17
        
        I've said it for several years now and I mean it every time. Manning is the best I've ever seen. -- nm - David Dec 27, 16:12 11
        
        Between him and Brady, I really don't know where to make a bad choice there. - Will Hunting Dec 27, 16:15 1
        
        Dwight Clark and Freddie Solomon weren't exactly the best receivers in the game either... - Stephen Dec 27, 16:38
        
        I had the luxury of seeing Montana (live a bunch of times) and he is the best I have ever seen. - Redmond Dec 27, 16:14 8
        
        Montana is a much more limited QB than Manning. -- nm - David Dec 27, 16:15 7
        
        It's hard to compare salary cap era vs. non cap era. However Montana was cooler under pressure in my opinion. - Redmond Dec 27, 16:17 6
        
        I'm not talking about teams. I'm talking about players. Montana was an overachiever with a noodle arm. Manning is an overachiever with a hand cannon. -- nm - David Dec 27, 16:22 3
        
        You didn't mean that second overachiever, I think. -- nm - TFox Dec 27, 16:23 2
        
        I did. Manning practices like an undrafted free agent. -- nm - David Dec 27, 16:25 1
        
        oh i see. i was thinking overachiever like "someone who achieves more than they would seem capable of". -- nm - TFox Dec 27, 16:26
        
        No...his last team went 9 & 7 and lost in the wild-card round. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 27, 16:19 1
        
        Damn, you're right. I will admit that I was wrong once today :) -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 16:27
        
        Yet they both have 1 ring. -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 16:12 4
        
        Which proves what? That Peyton played against better teams quite frequently? - Will Hunting Dec 27, 16:14 3
        
        It proves they both have a ring. You compared and so did I. - Redmond Dec 27, 16:16 2
        
        No..I compared actual QB skills...you compared team accomplishments. They are different animals. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 27, 16:17
        
        You get defeated by yourself inside a thread often, huh? -- nm - TFox Dec 27, 16:16
        
        (see Favre vs the Coach) at least Manning will listen and sit his ass down -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 16:10
