The difference is that Brady calmly calls audibles while Manning flaps like a chicken, barks 11 code words, and makes sure every camera in the stadium has documented his once-in-a-generation (and patented, I believe) ability to see a defensive formation and change the play. Both have the same effect, but Manning transcends measurable human intellect while Brady merely chooses a different play.
I think his lack of success recently has a lot more to do with his level of frustration of being in a losing environment more than a deterioration of his physical skills. When this kid is on, he is one of the leaugue's better RBs. He has great running skills, excellent vision and he's a big, strong back @ 6-1, 230 who is deceptlively fast. He runs hard and low and knows how to run behind his blockers -- he sees the hole really well. He's consistently, throughtout his career, made people miss once he gets to the 2nd level. He's also a solid receiver out of the backfield, look at his career stats. He's also a decent blocker. At the right price and Patriot style supervision as well as a low risk contract he's worth a look. He's not as good as Dillon was when the Pats acquired him but he can be a productive player in the right situation. I think the Pats have proven that they can handle players like this guy. I think the Pats would have some level of interest, players with his talent level don't ususally become available this time of year.

I don't know about any knee injury but he's had neck and foot issues in the past.
Just because he is a malcont doesn't mean he isn't done. Even with a black coach that gets him unlike white coaches (those are his words, not mine), he had two crappy years his last two years under Herm Edwards.
Larry Johnson is just one of those bruising backs who breaks down around 30 because of the punishment he takes and the fact that Herm Edwards overused him.
