Yeah, I mean it's not like Peyton Manning's 3rd on the all time passing list and may hit #2 (or 1) before it's all over, won a record four NFL MVPs, a Super Bowl (MVP there, too), all time Colts leading passer, 11 Pro Bowls, 11 400+ yard seasons, and Colts TD passing leader. And, just last night, made it ino the 400 TD club.
Oh, wait...
