CaptainHook Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 (edited) After seeing this quote on ESPN.com: Peyton Manning's gestures before the snap can drive you crazy it made me curious. I've heard people talk about it before. It really seems to bother some people. After watching it for 7 years, I am used to it. I don't even notice it. Yeah, we all know he's reading the defense, blah, blah, blah. I'm just curious how people who aren't Colts fans feel. Is it really that bad? If you voted that you don't like it, why?

Shotgun Messiahs Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Those annoying gestures is one of the things that makes him a great QB! The defenses can't tell if he really is changing the plays or if he is running a bluff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turf Boy Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 It use to bother me a bit. I felt sorry for the linemen. I'd think, "just snap it already!" Now I think he's a stinkin' genius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHook Posted December 9, 2004 Author Share Posted December 9, 2004 C'mon man. Know your play-off scenarios. 3 seed plays 6. 4 seed plays 5. Highest remaining seed after the first round plays the 2 seed. Lowest remaining seed plays the 1 seed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainHook Posted December 9, 2004 Author Share Posted December 9, 2004 Season ain't over yet. It's gotta suck losing one game all year, and not having homefield throughout the playoffs, huh?

nopackerfan Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 He must not be getting laid or something. If you don't have him on your ff team it's so annoying. Maybe he could watch a porn every once in awhile instead of game film, or edge could chip in for a hooker with his big raise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonestar39 Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 I think once again we have to say these gyrations, while to be very white like, are classless gyrations... LOL Not that big a deal. It may help him get in a rhythm or could be secret code to his stock broker or Al Qaida operatives. A lot of QB's have some little nuance just as a batter in the batters box. Most defensive players from what I understand watch the ball, shoulders, and hands of the offensive players to key on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaterMan Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Just snap it and throw the ball, you pansy. I bet no one will take as long actually getting the record with the ball in his hand than Manning, if someone ever does break it, if Manning does.

Clubfoothead Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Manning seems like the kind of guy I'd like to have a beer with. Manily so I can smash a glass mug over his head. Watching a true master who is in the middle of something we may never see again, priceless. I didn't really appreciate 1984 mainly because I couldn't stand Marino. I won't make that mistake this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ursa Majoris Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Those annoying gestures is one of the things that makes him a great QB! The defenses can't tell if he really is changing the plays or if he is running a bluff! 600769[/snapback] This is exactly right. It's a very large part of his success and he's able to do it because he gets his team up to the line of scrimmage in plenty of time. More power to him - all QBs should learn from it.

Easy n Dirty Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Kinda' tough to quibble with anything that manning's doing right now. As a spectator, it's a little annoying...but only a little. And if it helps him and helps his team to win, than I don't think any fan, Colts-fan or otherwise, has any grounds to complain about it. Good point by Ursa I thought - I never thought about it before, but as I mull it over I do not think too many QBs can get their team to the line early enough to enable themselves to make those extensive audibles.
