Peyton Manning would’ve been on NFL Top 100 list if he didn’t retire

Is Peyton Manning a better quarterback than Derek Carr, Andy Dalton, Philip Rivers and Eli Manning?

The answer is yes, according to NFL Network’s Amber Theoharis, who said on the NFL Top 100 post-reaction show that the retired Broncos quarterback would have ranked No. 35 if he did not retire.

“The 700 players who voted, they voted before the Super Bowl, so they did not know that he would retire,” she said.

And bad news for Raiders fans, she added: “That means Derek Carr would’ve been bumped off the list.”

Manning helped the Broncos win Super Bowl 50 despite having one of his statistically worst seasons.
