Don't you just love hearing that Brady has now proven he is better than Manning with weapons now. Sports Reports just had a discussion saying "Brady has passed Manning as the best QB in the NFL"

Like there was ever any doubt. Just give him equal talent and he is proving he is better.

Right now today Brady is better than Manning.

But if your looking at a body of work over the course of two careers i dont know a single reporter or fan for that matter that would say Brady was better. It will always be Manning unless he tails off from now to the end of his career and Brady has some insane years ahead.

Funny you should say that. They kind of left the discussion as "what would Brady look like if he had great receivers like Manning his entire career?

They did say "imagine what would have been if Brady had Moss all those other seasons". Meaning that Brady would be way ahead of Manning, which is yeah its kinda obvious. Oh and I imagine if Manning had recoshet caldwell and david patten to throw to all his career, Colts would have never made the playoffs!

What????? What fans do you hang around? If you ask fans who they want as their QB if they had 1 game to win, than I think there would be a lot of people picking Brady. Manning wasn't better than Brady before this year, isn't better this year, and won't be better when their careers are over. Period. The only people who fail to see this are the fantasy football geeks and stat munchers who think the BEST is the guy with the most TD passes.

this is temporary...if the colts win next week these sports reporters will change their tune.
Lets face it , manning is expected to be good by these guys and brady is a 6th rounder who they still are figuring out how he can be good. These reporters have their egos challenged as to how they could miss this guy while scouting etc. How many 6th rounders have come in the nfl as QB and played as well as brady. This drives the anti brady bias that there is something else other than him being good. it will be there throughout his career.

Your playing with what if's. I asked over a body of work from start to now Manning is the better player and there really is no arguing that because of stats dont lie.

Its never as simple as that. If Marino had half the receivers Montana had, god only knows what he could have done. Take into consideration more than stats when you discuss who is the "best:.

Ok you said it yourself consider more than stats to consider who is the best.

Manning is the better QB case closed. I dont like it as much as the next guy but its the truth.

I think it's his "Smirk"! The media knows he's hiding something and don't like it!
