This is what kills me about this arguement, and its the type of thing that I hear alot from people, and alot of the times its comes from the so called experts. They make a point that is not valid. This would be a great point to make if the same did NOT apply to Brady, but it does. Brady has been to and won the SB with a running game that was equally as bad as the Colts is this year. First of, total rushing yards is not a good measuring stick since some teams run less then others. Like the Colts, with a QB like Manning they are a pass first offense. This season the Colts ran the ball fewer the all teams in the NFL but 1. Average wise, they averaged 3.5 ypc and were ranked 30th in the NFL. In 2001, with Antowain Smith at RB the Pats averaged 3.8 ypc and ranked 23rd in the NFL when they won the SuperBowl. In 2003 the Pats averaged 3.4 ypc and ranked 30th in the NFL when they won the SuperBowl, which is the same as the Colts averaged and ranked this year. The one big difference between the 09 Colts and 01/03 Pats, Brady did not have the receiving weapons like Wayne and Clark that Manning has this year. So I think its safe to say that Brady was handicapped more then Manning.
