Ring-counting to 'rate' qbs is usually lazy/hot-takeous hack analysis. It is usually called upon to prop up agendas/biases/shenanigans.

This has been being the case. Water is also wet. Folks know better but the rings is a good enough excuse for folks to be asses about certain players.

Peyton made a few decent throws. He Omaha'd into the right play at least a few times. He also threw several interceptions. One got caught. He fumbled to help keep Carolina alive. His mistakes didn't tank his team like Cam's did mainly because of where his turnovers happened.

Peyton didn't 'win' the game for Denver. That wasn't his role. He got carried. He knows it. And he'll take it. No matter what folks say, football is a team game. Qb is a huge part of it, and the blocking a qb gets is usually as important. But it is harder to talk linemen and schemes. It's easier to hate/love one guy out of 22.

Cam had some really low moments and he didn't get enough protection to make plays. And even when he did, dudes dropped passes.
