As we are all aware the two QB's that are most often compared as being the best in the league are Tom Brady and Peyton Manning.

This year Brady's broke Peyton's record for the most TDs. And it did appear that at times late in the season that Brady was forcing the ball to Moss so Moss would break his record.

On Saturday night Tom Brady set a record for highest % of completions in any regular or post season game. Although a QB's goal is always to complete all their passes, this record was broken because Jax in an effort to prevent the deep ball, would leave short routes open, and the short passing game was the best way to win.

On Sunday, Peyton Manning played a short yard passing game starting the game 14 for 14. And for a while appeared to be on the way to break Tom's record the day after he set it. However, the Bolts adjusted to Manning's style of play resulting incomplete passes and interceptions.

I highly doubt that Tom Brady's performance had any effect on how Peyton Manning played against the Chargers. I'm actually as close to certain as I can get without being inside Peyton Manning's head.

1.) Peyton, is not, and has not, been jealous of Tom Brady's current assault on NFL stats. He's a Pro, this stats stuff goes with the territory. Nice but none ever seem to last forever.

2.) It had nothing to do with his performance against the Chargers.

3.) It was what it was - - - a loss - - - game over - - - done for the season. Root for and support Eli.

4.) The only stat Peyton now cares about is totally his to control and it should be his for all time. For sheer volume of, appearance in, and money earned on commercial endorsements he stands head and shoulders above Tom Brady and any other past or present NFL player. He is the Man!?!? No one will ever be able to top him in this aspect. My hat is off to him, he's the all time champ.

The Chargers and Jags are similar defenses (big guys who are about strength over speed), and the strength of the Colts and strength of the Pats are at QB (throwing to receivers). It's understandable that the games would be similar. I also think that Addai not being as fresh as Maroney meant that the Colts didn't have the same options on offense as the Pats did.

Soon to theatres: BEING PEYTON MANNING

You know, with the little elevator? The something-and-a-half floor?

Anyone?

A year back it had been reported that Brady turns down the overwhelming number of commercial offers made to him.

I would say after seeing the OREO commercial, that I would have a hard time believing Manning has ever said no to a commercial.

On a side note I think Manning is pretty funny, my favorite line being the "rub some dirt in it"

JoePats

No...but Joseph Addai breaking down over the course of the year/lack of running game on Sunday combined with a hideous defense combined with two catches their receivers should have made cost the Colts.

PantsB

No. The Colts lost the game because of red zone interceptions, which can only be short passing and because Harrison fumbled. One was clearly not his fault (it was lucky/his RB). Had they scored on any of those drives, they win.

Even if we said that being more conservative in the passing game was the cause, we don't have any real reason to believe it had anything to do with Brady's completion %.

5 Rings for Brady!!

Brady earns a very similiar amount as Manning in advertising, but Brady chooses to work with upscale brands while Manning will stick his horsehead in front of any product on the market for relative chump change compared to what Brady earns per endorsement.

workhorse

Since when is $5 a bottle cologne upscale?
