DeAngelo Williams reminds us Peyton Manning was horrible in 2015

Peyton Manning

News of Peyton Manning’s impending retirement has been met with countless tributes to the Denver Broncos quarterback and stories about his remarkable career. DeAngelo Williams decided to go in a slightly different direction.

On Monday morning, Williams reminded his Twitter followers of how poorly Manning played in his final NFL season.

That tweet led to a sparring match with several Manning supporters, and Williams did not back down. In fact, he even compared Manning to Jimmy Clausen at one point.

Williams isn’t wrong. Manning’s skills were in rapid decline last season, and his foot injury didn’t help. He finished the regular season with a 9-17 TD-INT ratio and a career-low passer rating of 67.9. In the Super Bowl, Manning completed just 13-of-23 passes with an interception and no touchdowns in one of the worst championship performances in NFL history.

At the end of the day, all that matters is that Manning added a second Super Bowl ring to his Hall of Fame career. But as we learned with his tweet about Bill Belichick last month, Williams likes to stir up controversy on social media. He knew exactly what he was doing.
