learn from every situation and just file it in your mind and use it to your advantage the next week as you get more and more comfortable. I know Eli’s doing that.
He’s going to be a heck of a quarterback. Obviously, I’m biased, I’m his brother. But I have a pretty good feel for quarterbacks. I watch a lot of quarterbacks. I can kind of tell who gets it and who doesn’t. He gets it. It’s part of the process. That’s the only way you can put it.
Q. How do you think you and Dan Marino are similar as quarterbacks?
PEYTON MANNING: Like I said, I’m such a big quarterback fan, I have tremendous respect for all the quarterbacks that have played at a high level for their whole careers. The thing about Marino that always stood out to me, he was an excellent player every single year. I think the word “great” is thrown out a little too much now. I think if a guy has a great season, it doesn’t make him a great player.
But my goal is to improve every single year, to have consecutive seasons where I’m playing at a high level. I feel that I have done that, because I’ve gotten better every single year. That’s the thing about Marino, he was an excellent player every single season for 17 years. That’s the goal for any player - to play for a long time and to play at a high level every year. I’m in the middle of my career, but that is my goal.
Q. Is there any area of your game you’d like to improve in, honestly?
