Rodney Harrison wasted no time before making headlines as the newest NBC sports analyst. Recently Harrison commented on Manning’s public frustrations over the Colts new coaching staff.

This is something I’ve discussed with Coach Dungy and I think it’s what really gives Tom Brady the edge over Peyton Manning in terms of leadership, because he’s a guy that if this went on in New England, he wouldn’t come out publicly and he wouldn’t make a big fuss about it,” Harrison said. “I think as a leader on a team, you being Peyton Manning, a [future] Hall of Famer, you need to keep it in house. You have so many guys looking up to you and once they see the panic on your part, then all of a sudden they start getting nervous. I have a lot of respect for Peyton Manning but this is a guy at times that needs to control his emotions and not allow these things that should stay in house, get outside of those walls.”

Peyton’s former coach Tony Dungy disagrees.

“But as a player your job is to play football; you can’t control some of the political aspects of what’s going on and I know Peyton is frustrated, but you have to understand this is OTAs, not even mini camp yet so there is no sense of panic yet, it’s still early,” Dungy said. “These things can be worked out. I mean he has been running this offense for 11 years, it’s not like it’s new to him. It just disappointed me being that it’s so early in the off-season that he would come out publicly and say these things. For him to publicly come out and publicly get upset like that I just thought it was a sense of panic.”

I have to agree the Harrison, a good leader doesn’t stand in front of the media and bitch about everything he doesn’t like.
