Season play has to come into too though McC.
Roth is much more consistent than Manning.
I dont keep up with these things much, but it was either last year or 2013, Manning was at the 32 number in rankings close to the end of the year.
Keep in mind both SBs Manning won the Giants were 9-7 and 10-6, backing into the playoffs both times depending on other teams to lose to get there.
Another QB that most would be shocked to hear about is Bradshaw.
He was labeled as a not very smart QB. Many calling him stupid.
During the seasons of the 4 SB runs, Chuck Knoll kept switch QBs between him, Terry Hanratty, and Joe Gilliam because of their inconsistency.
Bradshaw benefited from the best defensive unit in the history of the game, a great RB (Franco Harris) FB (Rocky Blier) one of the best, if not THE best, receiving tandem (Lynn Swann and John Stallworth)
