Take the Choke label off Mr. Manning

I feel for Peyton Manning. He didn't talk big, everyone else did for him. He played  below his potential for all but one or two drives. Yes, the Seattle defensive secondary was ready for their game, but so were many other teams that lost to the Broncos and Manning this year. Many act like this one loss on a giant stage negates his regular season hard work, others accuse him of choking. 

I feel for the guy because our society has made such a personality crippling deal over this one game. At the very outside he may be able to play for 5 more years, and then he will have to live with himself outside of football  accolades and condemnation. For your own sake, "Take the 'choke' label off Mr. Manning. I would love to see you make the next few years showing us how you can mentor a young quarterback into a player." To me that would demonstrate your character and knowledge of the game more than a Super Bowl ring.
