I think Manning may have played with more super stars than Brady, certainly has had a lot more consistency in his supporting cast

Most clever pre game HS poster ever. Col Hts here in Mpls was playing Rochester Mayo HS. The poster read "It won't take a miracle to whip Mayo". Take THAT Bill.:):)

Brady is not better than Manning. Most people don't know the X's & O's & just look at titles as a final determination of who is better. Ask people who truly understand the game who is the better QB & most will tell you Manning is. He schools Brady in the X's & O's. Look at the Colts, that team was never that great as they had average talent at best at most positions. He was good enough to mask all of that for years & carry that team. Want proof? Look at how this team played on Sunday & probably the majority of the season. Brady got knocked out & the team still won double digit games. Brady has had better overall talent.

Is he a great QB? Sure, but is he the best ever? Not even close. If you take some of the true greats & let them play in today's era & they would put up sick numbers as well. Take a Marino or Montana & let them play with the wide open offenses & rules favoring QB's & WR's & see what they would have done.

I love you.

Here's some backing for that claim: "There are 20 living quarterbacks in the Professional Football Hall of Fame. We tracked them all down and asked: if you had to choose between Tom Brady and Peyton Manning to quarterback your team, who would you pick and why? The common denominator in all the responses was a groan and a chuckle. “How can you choose between Rembrandt and Van Gogh,” asked Steve Young. Every Hall of Famer agreed you couldn’t lose with either, and picking one didn’t mean you wouldn’t be happy to have the other. Everyone expressed admiration for both players and said, unequivocally, that they, too, would be wearing the yellow jacket one day in Canton. But when pressed to decide, the tally was 13½-2½, with four abstaining." (Vote in favor of Manning)

I would like Mays in center over Mantle, and I'm a NYY fan.

Steak wants Killer at first over Frank Howard though

Brady won those Superbowls with far superior TEAMS than Manning ever had.Pats defense in those SB years were far better than any D Colts have had during Mannings career.QB alone does not win SB

yea i agree. Brady has always had more talent on both sides of the ball as far as i'm concerned. Reggie Wayne is a legit stud receiver, but Does anybody really think Marvin Harrisson would have been a star receiver if he played without Manning? I sure as hell dont. What about Edgerrin James for running back, he left in his prime and sucked ass in Arizona. Pierre Garcon, Anthony Gonzales, Austin Collie? yea those guys arent shit without manning either. Dallas Clark is a legit tight end.

Its a good debate and its hard to argue against Brady winning 3 super bowls while playing a position in a league that your career success or failure hinges on how many super bowls you won. All that said I'd still choose Manning, just my preference

Brady is in my top 10 not top 5. BTW he only has two Super Bowls. I don't recognize the 1st one. He choked with the fumble in the snow against Oakland. He also choked in the Denver and Ravens playoff games too. He has had the best coaching by far of any QB in a long time and has taken advantage of it. I still put him behind, Elway, Montana, Manning, Favre, Unitus,Bradshaw, Young, and Starr. Marino doesn't crack my top 15. He couldn't get it done in a big game and always blamed his teammates for the losses.

I'll give you the defenses. But Brady still had to put up 20,24, and 32 to win those games.

Your completely wrong about this. Cassell was a part of the patriots offense for many years before he got his chance. He knew this system, the playbook, everything. That is why he led the team to an 11 win year. He also had the help of playing San Fran, St. Louis, Seattle, Oakland, Arizona. If Brady doesn't get hurt its another 14 win season and they go the playoffs again.

The Indy situation is completely different and they look foolish because of it. They had all their chips in Manning from Day 1 and are now paying for it. Have they ever had a decent back-up in case of this injury? Not really. They are now trying to plug in a NFL veteran (retired lol) who is way past his playing days and doesn't have a clue of what they do in Indy offensively. Ofcourse the season is going to be a disaster. You cant compare the two situations at all.

Now to your "equal talent" comment. I could argue all day long how Manning has had just as great of a core around him, but it's been done already. I will say this,
the measurement of a great player is to make those around you better....Brady does this way better than Manning and that is why he is superior!

When Cassel started for the Pats, I don't think he had started a game since high school and there had to be a reason for that: he simply isn't good, as evidenced by his play since then. As far as making those around you better, Manning has done that far better than Brady. Brady has never had to make his teammates better because he's been surrounded by far better players, especially on defense.

Oakland won the AFC Championship that year. Nobody won the Super Bowl ! Don't take it personally, I don't recognize Pittsburgh in 06 either when the NFL had their love affair for Betus and had the game fixed. Duke in 91 is also on the list for NCAA going after Tark and UNLV inserting referees to make sure every call went in Duke's favor.
