Mannings record in bad weather is atrocious. When Brady plays in a dome, his numbers are really good. When you compare stats it really is not a level playing field. Brady has the best winning percentage in the NFL and winning is the only stat that matters.
I think it is kind of hokie to run this poll now that the Patriots are out of it and the Colts are in the AFC championship. It galls me that I am rooting for the Jets to win. By pulling their players, the Colts allowed the Jets to back into the playoffs and it would be poetic justice if the Jets knocked them off. It woud be worth it just to see Polian embarrassed.

Yup, pretty much every split, once accounted for, has Brady with better stats. Brady is slightly better than Manning in domes, and MUCH better outdoors. Even still, though, who I'd rather have as a QB would depend largely on exactly that. If I were running a dome team, I'd probably take Peyton, but if my team played outdoors I would take Brady with no hesitation whatsoever.
