With many arguing that Manning, a five-time league MVP, two-time Super Bowl champ, and 14-time Pro Bowl selection, should’ve been on the list over Elway, Irsay defended his picks and said that Manning would"no doubt" be in his"Top 10."
Quarterback Peyton Manning #18 of the Indianapolis Colts celebrates the victory with owner Jim Irsay when the Indianapolis Colts host the New York Jets in the AFC Championship Game at Lucas Oil Stadium on January 24, 2010 in Indianapolis, Indiana. Colts beat the Jets, 30-17, to advance tot he Super Bowl.
"It’s just that Elway didn’t have great offensive players around him til the end, when he won 2 in a row and his feet we’re remarkable, from baseball talents…," Irsay said in part. Any list of"all-time" greats is sure to stir up any debate, but Irsay leaving off one of the Colts’ most legendary players raised several eyebrows.
Peyton Manning and Jim Irsay, owner of the Indianapolis Colts, pose for photos during a ceremony retiring Manning's jersey during the halftime of the game between the Indianapolis Colts and the San Francisco 49ers at Lucas Oil Stadium on October 8, 2017 in Indianapolis, Indiana. Manning, 47, spent 14 seasons in Indianapolis but did not play his final season due to a neck injury. He was released the following year and eventually signed with the Denver Broncos where he would go on to win another Super Bowl.
