#18, Peyton Manning, Denver Broncos.
Quarterback.
6'5, 230lbs.
Madden Rating: 99.
With 64,964 career passing yards and 491 touchdowns, ridiculous would be an understatement to not put Manning on the list. In every Bronco article that I've written this week, Manning was mentioned. This season alone, Manning has thrown for a record 55 touchdowns and 5,477 yards. Manning is a for sure future Hall of Famer, even putting up great stats at his current age of 37.
Manning played 13 seasons for the Indianapolis Colts, where he won 1 championship. After having a severe neck injury, the Colts decided to move on in a different direction because they believed that Manning was too big of a risk to bring back. Manning rehabbed, and quickly received a call from the Broncos. In 2012 , he joined the Broncos. In his two seasons with the Broncos has thrown for a total of 92 touchdowns. That is simply insane.
Manning will face the toughest defense that he has seen all year. The Seahawks are the best, and their secondary is fearless. With that in mind , Manning and the Broncos are the best offense that Seahawks will see. Look for Manning and the Broncos to make small adjustments in their offense that can throw the Seahawks off. If Manning can get going early, lookout! The Broncos know how to score.
Manning is the leader of the Broncos. As long as he plays his best , the Broncos will have no problem being competitive in this game.
Throughout this week, I have mentioned six players to watch in the Superbowl. These guys will all have some type of impact in Sunday's game, so trust me. If I write about them, they are no slouch. There are some guys that I left off the list that could also have some impact: Broncos: Demaryius Thomas(88)/Eric Decker(87), Wes Welker (83), and Champ Bailey (24). Seahawks: Russell Wilson(3), Earl Thomas (29), and Percy Harvin (11). While some of these guys will make an impact, the guys that I wrote about are the true X-factors for their respected teams. The way that the match-ups lineup, this could be one of the greatest SuperBowl's we have ever seen.
