And your logic is largely skewed on most of your other points, but in any case:
i.)statistics don't mean much in football, it's not like baseball where you can draw serious statistical inference through 182 games of repetition and routine. Football is all about who has the smartest, fastest, strongest players, with the best coaches, gameplanning, offseason preparation, and team management. It's not numbers that win games, it's your people.
ii.)any regular season heroic comebacks engineered by Manning do not negate his status as choker; it's what you do in the games where the season and your legacy are at stake that matters. He'll have more chances to prove himself a winner.
iii.) Bradshaw's Steelers were built to run, play defense, AND pass (unlike the pass-happy Colts) and that's why Bradshaw has 4 ring
iv.) the salary cap didn't prevent Brady & Pats from winning 3 out of 4 superbowls, where's Peyton's?
v.) the Colts are the only team in the AFC south who perennially have a winning record: the Texans (who almost beat Indy twice this season) and Titans are unproven and unreliable, and any good team would/should go undefeated in that sub-par conference.
vi.)Ya, I can see how you'd forget Staubach,it's pretty easy to forget a guy who went to 4 superbowls in 10 years and was 8 points away from being the greatest QB of the 70's, if not ever. ;p
