Actually, besides one play with our rookie LG, they looked very good against one of the best d-lines in football. In the only drive for the starters, we marched right down the field. Unfortunately, a rookie got overpowered and forced a bad throw.

But considering it was the first game action for them and given the competition, I feel pretty good. Long way to go still.

Agreed, look way to go still.

Thanks for that compliment. I DID come out of Buffalo.

Manning was in the AFC East for his first four years in the league, too. Believe it or not, a ton of people think that Manning is better than Brady. In fact, the national polls I've seen favor Manning as the better QB by however wide a margin. It's always a close call and an interesting subject. Gotta respect them both.

Notice how I didn't offer my own personal opinion. I don't want to debate the subject. Just making a point. Not everyone that favors Manning over Brady has an agenda or suffers from football ignorance. The subject IS debatable, but obviously not on a Patriots board. It's not a no-brainer.

Fact?
National Polls?

Do tell..... Post a link to ANY "national poll" that is a considered a respectable/neutral source that backs up your assertion.

Good luck with that

Why would I lie?

I'm well aware that Manning was in the AFC East at one point, back when he sucked. Was witness to his first game vs the Patriots and he threw about 400 INT's that game, he was God awful.

He is a stat machine, no doubt about it. he has better career stats than Brady, no doubt about that either.

Brady has 3 rings, Manning has 1.

This "debate" in this thread started when Einstein the Bills fan said he'd take Manning over Brady because "Manning is more clutch."

See above; 3 vs 1, who is clutch again?

WHEN THE MONEY IS ON THE LINE, I'll take Brady over Gomer any day of the week and twice on Sunday.


Gomer crapped his pants in 2004 vs the Patriots in the regular season (first and goal at the 7 and he couldn't close the deal) and in the playoffs (highest scoring offense in NFL history at the time and he put up ZERO touchdowns, a grand total of 3 points), in 2005 vs the Steelers (when he had a CLEAR road to the Super Bowl), in 2007 in the regular season vs the Patriots (fumbled on the last drive) and vs the Chargers in the playoffs in 2007 and 2008 (the 2008 8-8 Chargers by the way).

Debate over.

Over before it's even begun, huh?

What do you want to debate?

Who's got the better stats?

Gomer.

Who's more clutch?

Brady.

What else is there to debate?

The floor is yours Mr Meat.............

That's Dr. Meat to you. I don't want to debate it at all...I've done that, and I'm quite sick of it. We all have opinions, but that's all they are. Do you want to know who is better? Whoever you think is better is the better QB...in your own mind, as is the nature of opinion.
