OT: Worst "Peyton is better than Brady" argument ever - New England Patriots Forums

Let me start by saying this isn't meant to debate on which QB is truly (or has truly been)better. IMO, that argument can change from week to week, year to year with these two. Bottom line, they're two of the best QBs the NFL has ever seen.

That being said, I was on youtube the other day watching random videos involving the Patriots. In one of the videos, (can't remember which one) a debate had started up in the comments section about which QB was better. Someone pointed out that had Manning played for the Patriots, he would have 6 rings. Manning "never had the supporting cast Brady did."

Ummmmmmmmm..................seriously? I'll give you the Pats defense was much tougher in the early 2000s but dude, really? Antowain Smith, Troy Brown, Patten and Wiggins vs. James, Harrison, Wayne and Stokley? Yeeeeaaaah I'm going to have to disagree with that guy.

Are you voting for Bush or Kerry?

Yes, we have had plenty of weapns in our recent history with Randy Moss, Rob Gronkowski, Wes Welker, Aaron Hernadez, Donte Stallworth, and Brandon Lloyd, but you are absolutely correct that Tom Brady excelled with even just a serviceable cast around him.

I mean this in the positive light (but can see how it could be interpretted as negative), but I don't know if there has been a better example of a teaming doing more with less than the 2001 Patriots.
