Manning tops Prisco’s list

Where is Mathis in all this?  Freeney and Wayne both make the top 25

Time has an impact on a lot of things. Look at your waistline, or        hairline. Think about your ability to handle two consecutive nights out        in Vegas, compared to when you were 21.

You would think time would also change the  hierarchy of the NFL’s top       players.

Surprisingly, it hasn’t done so the past six or seven  years.

Any  list of the top players still starts with Peyton Manning and Tom        Brady. It’s been that way for a while.

Manning and Brady. Brady and Manning.

It’s chic to say Drew Brees has joined the  Big Two to make it a Big       Three at the top of the quarterback  pecking order — and some might even       have Brees ahead of Brady.  But if you took a poll of general managers       and asked them to pick  the quarterback they’d most want to play with       right now, I’d bet  Manning and Brady would get the most votes.
