(Please note that I'm not asking this to bash Manning, or anyone else for that matter. I'm just trying to get a better grasp of the thinking behind the claim, since it's not just Colts fans who put this forth.)
On another thread, someone made an assertion that I see made quite a bit on message boards, radio programs and television, in one form or another:
That post brought to mind a question I often ask and never get a satisfactory answer to:
What "skillsets" is Manning better at than Brady?
Is Manning more accurate than Brady? His completion % overall is higher, but does it hold up when you adjust for conditions? What about once you adjust for receiver quality?
Is Manning's arm stronger than Brady's? If so, is the difference really enough to make a difference? Should the difference, if any, really be called a skillset?
Does Manning read defenses better than Brady? If someone says "yes", what's the evidence?
Is Manning a better leader of football players than Brady? Again, if someone says "yes", what's the evidence?
Is Manning better at maneuvering in the pocket?
Does Manning make better adjustments?
What skills does Manning have that are superior to Brady's, and what is the evidence for the claim? Anyone.....?

Manning: Better skillsets and stats.
Brady: Better instincts and intangibles.
