No suprise here. Brady just came off a record setting season. If this poll were done after 2004, even though we won the Super Bowl, Manning would get all of those votes. Record setting seasons have been known to skew poll results.

I bet a few years ago when Manning broke that record, Manning would have been a landslide pick too.

I dont read anything ESPN or any New York/Boston media has to say. There are a few exceptions. But these writers are so full of themselves its ridiculous.

I suppose if Manning were to break the TD record again this season they would dub him the King of Kings next or some BS.

Eerie how similar our posts were even just a few seconds apart.

It would be interesting to figure out who the six coaches were. My guess would be all the south coaches (Dungy, Del Rio, Kubiak and Fisher) as well as Shakenbake and Coughlin (he thought he was voting for Eli :p).

This was a poll among head coaches, not ESPN writers...

I bet these same NFL coaches wouldve said the same thing for the past 5 years.

Dont fool yourself. Coaches can be influenced too.

Until Peyton won the Super Bowl last year, I bet most coaches would have taken Brady. Peyton was known to wilt under the pressure.

if you took this poll last summer, I'd agree with you that Peyton would have been the man. Before that, I'm not so certain.

There was a poll done during last year's training camp, ask the players coaches and league personnels bunch questions, one of them is which QB other then their own would they choose. Tom brady got 65%, and Manning got 35%, that was after the year manning won the superbowl. I think those people know whose better, doesn't matter if brady own those record or not.
