I was listening to the commentary by John Madden and he talked about how no quarterback knows the game better (which I already knew) and he also said that Peyton is basically a Quarterback/Coach. So do you think after Peyton's carrer is done many many many years on down the road, do you think he would make a great Head Coach? I believe he would because I think he understands every aspect of the game. What do you think?

Absolutely!!! I have never seen a player who analyzes and dissects a defense like he does!! I've been watching NFL football for 33 years, and he's THE (not one of the but THE) best Quarterback I have ever seen (Yes, I believe he is better then Elway, Marino, Montana, Farve, Simms, Aikman, and Young).

It's hard to say at this point in time but he might make a good coach some day.
Some great players are poor coaches because they haven't got the patience with thier players who can't play like they did and never will.
Gretzky hasn't got much to work with so it isn't fair to say he is a poor coach just yet.
Most of us who have played any sports at all could stand behind the bench of a great team with real good players and win a game against a poor team.
This wouldn't work over a whole season against other good teams with good coaches but all I'm really saying is no coach can win very many games with poor players.

I think Peyton would make a great Head Coach. It's true, he knows the game and if you watch him, even when he's on the sidelines, he's studying every move that the defensive team is making. He's a good leader and is responsible and respected on and off the field.

Peyton would be a phenomenal coach. He already knows how to run an offense, so all he would really need is a defensive coordinator who can help him with that aspect. He has that leadership quality, and just his name value alone would command respect from his players. No matter what team he coached (probably Indy, though), they would benefit greatly from having him on the sidelines.

I'm a Peyton Manning fan, but I don't think he would be a good coach. He would probably be too hard on players and they would resent him eventually. Not sure he would be patient enought either. He's a perfectionist and would expect his players to be the same, which of course they never would be.

He basically is a coach on the playing field. If you ever see film of him in a game, on the field or sidelines, you would see why.
I honestly believe that one day he will be known as the best Qb to ever play the game.
Note: I said ONE DAY. He still has a way to go.

I disagree... The same thing could be said about Wayne Gretzky in hockey, and he's been a horrible coach for the Coyotes, despite being the best player at his sport...

Is Wayne Gretzky a great NHL coach? Of course not. Great players do not make great coaches.

He'd need a good defensive coordinator, though. If he doesn't coach, he might be able to match Jaws at breaking down game tape.
