All we need is another Brady vs. Manning thread, but Joe Montana was on the Gary Radnich show, KNBR, SF this a.m. and Radnich asked him who he'd take for the rest of this season and the playoffs. Joe said Brady. The way he put it was that Tom is having that kind of year where he throws to Moss in double coverage and not only gets a completion, but a touchdown. More than once. There were two in the first Miami game alone, as I recall. Joe said unless the Pats have a hiccup like has almost happened a couple, three times recently, in the playoffs, he's picking them to win it all. Of course, that's saying they'll win it all unless they lose. He didn't say one word about Manning. Just one man's opinion, but it was the other best of all time QB.

Montana was my hero growing up.
Fitting that he would say this about the player who most resembles him.

As far as clutch, and coming up biggest on the biggest stage, I agree, there were none better ever than those two. But, Joe had one skill Tom lacks: he could take off and run with the ball when necessary, not just for a few yards and then slide like Tom, but Joe could actually break a long one. I remember a 50+ yarder in a big game, thinking against the Giants. Of course, how important is that? On Tom's side, I think he has built up his arm to the point where he's better on really long throws than Joe was. Other length passes, short and medium range, for accuracy, timing and zip on the ball, you could throw a blanket, or a towel over them.

This argument is so stupid. If they had asked him after the AFCCG last year, he would've said Manning. For the rest of their careers, the better of the two will always be the one that last beat the other.

Manning is terrific, but TB is the better QB. Just look at their playoff numbers. Manning had what, 3 TD's versus 7 Int's in Indy's Superbowl run. With Brady ending the regular season stats issue this year, he's ended the debate. That's not to say Manning isn't anything short of incredible, it just means Brady's incredible plus some.

I was wondering if you are extremely bitter or are you really that stupid. Maybe your 14 years old and don't know any better. It's got to be something.

They're both great. I find these discussions tiresome.

(Though I do like it when people say Brady is the best, for some weird reason!)

i may be biased, but i clearly want brady over manning NO MATTER what team i have. brady can perform in any system. with manning he hasn't shown me he can do anything other than the slow-it-down audible when everything's super quiet indoors at home thing.
