Default Brady vs. Manning

Manning's 92.3 passer rating is fourth best in history. Brady's is seventh. “Pundits” insist that Manning is a statistical wunderkind who puts up unfathomable numbers and that Brady is a “system” quarterback who “manages” his team well. The Cold, Hard Football Facts have *****-slapped these beliefs up and down the side of the skull: The truth is that the statistical margin between the two quarterbacks is a lot smaller than most in the football world realize (or are willing to admit). If you insist that stats are all that matters, you better be prepared to give Brady his due. He, like Manning, is one of the most statistically dominant quarterbacks in NFL history – and Brady equals or exceeds many of Manning’s numbers at the same point in their careers.

They are both exceptional quarterbacks. The fact remains that there is not an objective test to determine who is the better QB. Even if there was a difference it would not be much.

just my 2 cents ..this debate is getting old and even CHFF knows it.Quite frankly , the quality of QB's we have in this league like grossman,harrington,boller etc...we should be thankful we have 2 of the great QB's playing at the same time in their careers instead of trying to merely pit one against the other.

Yeah the coldhardfootball facts there are spot on.

Manning has been on a team that was built for high scoring games, lack of defense, to sell tickets.

The colts were forced to play 2 minute offense all the time with 5 wide and their goal was to score on every possession or lose. Thats why they've only tallied one championship, but meaningless stats such as TD Passes in a season etc..

When comparing the two you're also forced to ignore post-season stats because Colts fans insist that those don't matter.

Summary.
If you want championships - Brady
If you want anything else - Manning

I'll take the higher number of rings. If Brady can improve his stats with the weapons he has now, terrific, but I think the focus is still on winning.

What Pat fan would trade Brady for any QB in the NFL? Not one, is my guess! With weak weapons Brady managed to win 3 Superbowls. With strong weapons, well, Brady looks pretty damned good,dare I say instoppable. I have always thought Brady was a better overall QB than Manning - Brady is a better leader and winner. Manning, I used to think was a better passer, but even now I am thinking I was wrong. Seeing Brady with Moss, Brady might even be a better passer than Manning and he has only developed 3 game worth of chemistry versus years that Manning has had with his weapons!

We know the answer to the question now, don't we? What would Brady do with weapons like Mannings??? But we will never know what Manning would do with weapons like Brady has had - 2 of those SB's with A. Smith at Running Back not to mention last years WR's!

Also, doesn't one of these guys play half their games in a dome???

Yeah, it's Brady!
