There was a huge thread on this during the week leading up to the Colts game this season. It actually inspired a thread on IndyStar which *****ed about this thread and, in the process, made most Colts fans look like complete hypocrites.

As I recall the results back in November were not what IndyStar had expected and hoped for, as Brady was leading Manning in Colts land. I guess they've either kept the poll upon until they reached their desired results, or are pushing it some more now that playoff fever is spreading to casual fans.

Brady vs. Manning (merged) Comparison Thread

What gets me is this: Manning is an all-time great player, sure to be elected in to the Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibilty. Why the need to validate his talent in his teams' home town with a poll like this? Is it due to an inferiority complex of Indiana natives, or is it simply a business move by the paper aimed at increasing web hits?

The people who like to throw out the facts about Manning statistics being better than Brady always fail to mention how skewed those stats are by where they play. Manning and the Colts and the teams in their division all play in domes. Brady and the Patriots and the teams in their division all play outdoors and in inclement weather. 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.
