Look Peyton is a hall of fame qb who couldn't play dead in a western last year but career over all is astonishing but last year was 💩😷

Peyton Manning is announcing his retirement from the NFL on Monday, and players and coaches from around the league are honoring the two-time Super Bowl champion on social media. But not Steelers running back DeAngelo Williams, who had some interesting thoughts on Manning’s 2015 season.
Williams took to Twitter to give his opinions, and while he complimented Manning on his overall career and accomplishments, he also said that Manning “couldn’t play dead in a western” last season, which really is an underused expression.
He didn’t exactly back down in his follow-up tweets, either.
It bothersme whenkey playersget a pass fora terrible season because of greatcareers while others are judgedin the momentwith less accolades

On second thought, that’s actually pretty accurate.
