Okay. If you feel that is more appropriate and accurate I can change the title.
Edit: Also I firmly believe Brady has been underpaid as opposed to Manning being over paid.
Manning while not winning more than 1 title often has had teams with enough talent to be competitive and make the playoffs year after year. I think he is well worth the money he is getting paid. Just cause he is not Brady does not mean he is not worth every cent he is getting.
I understand the belief that Brady is underpaid. He's the best ever, and he should always make more than Manning because Brady is better.
But I do also think Manning was overpaid. Using the same methodology as above, Rodgers is around $13.3M and his career started later when the salary cap was larger. That $13M mark seems to be the number for elite QBs, and Manning is certainly one of them, but he is not the best of them.
Brady deserves a lot more just because he's way better, and the play-offs prove it.
So I can accept you thinking Brady is underpaid. But Manning feels overpaid too. If Rodgers and Brees are in that $13M mark, Manning belongs around there too. Maybe a touch more, but not $5M+ more.
