It wont do it, but that link should end all brady vs manning arguments everywhere. It pretty much states what I have thought for a whole year about the whole regular season comparison
This excerpt should end the discussion by itself. (Even moreso if the win/loss records reg season and playoffs were included, which make it even more stark)
Brady puts more points in the board; in fact, he leads the greatest offensive machine in the history of football
Individual stats are nice. At the end of the day, playing quarterback is all about putting your team in a position to score points and win games.
And despite all the accolades for individual stat dominance heaped upon Manning, and despite the fact Manning has spent most of his career playing indoors and surrounded by more talent, Brady has led the greater offensive teams.
- Brady's teams score an average of 28.1 PPG
- Manning's teams score an average of 27.3 PPG
- Brady's teams average 452.5 points per season (full 16-game seasons)
- Manning's teams average 434.9 points per season (full 16-game seasons)
Brady's Patriots are the only franchise in the history of football to score 500+ points in four different seasons. With 238 points scored at the halfway point this year, they have a shot of making it five seasons.
Peyton Manning's teams have scored 500+ points just twice in 16 seasons.
For a little perspective, only 10 franchises have topped 500 points even once in their history. Brady's Patriots have topped 500 points four times in the last six seasons alone, and may make it five for seven here in 2014.
Brady's teams have produced an average of 5.0 non-offensive touchdowns per season; Manning's just 3.5. But it's not enough to explain the 17.6 point-per-season advantage enjoyed by Brady's teams.
The result is a net win: Brady's teams score more points and win more games.
