That’s different than Edelman.
In this era Manning would be the 5th or 6th best QB? Brady, Ben, Brees, Rivers, Ryan (?). The stats are as much a product of this era as anything, hell Palmer is 13th all time in passing yards. He will get in because he has two titles but no one who watched Manning play thought he really elevated his team. Lifetime 60% completion percentage in an era where you can't breath on a WR doesn't scream star.
