And when we faced them in the Super Bowl, Manning was in the same offense with the same OC for 12 years at that point. He became the system.
I thought I read somewhere that Marty wanted to keep Drew and that decision was from above him. And don't know why he would need to scapegoat Drew. Drew play actually got worse from 2004 to 2005. They go 14-2 in 2006 with Rivers but ran into that Patriot's defense..lol
