Some interesting comments about both, but here's the payoff:

"Can I take them both,” he laughed. “It’??s well-documented. I love Peyton and he’??s a great quarterback if he is not No. 2 or 3, he’??s definitely up there, but I love Tom. I think he is the greatest quarterback to ever play the game and the way he always reinvents himself. I love when people always count him out because I know what is about to happen. This guy has come from being a sixth-round pick to being a sure first-ballot Hall of Famer. I’??ll take my chances with Tom.”

The hell is ignorantly competitive? No, seriously. What is that? Lol.

I saw Jason Taylor on Tom E Curran's show yesterday saying something similar from an opponent's perspective. He was a little more diplomatic but he basically said that Peyton usually has more complete teams and yet somehow Tom and Bill make things work and while they are both great QBs, he would never bet against Tom.

Found it!

Collie did not score a TD. A couple of big catches though.

The clue for the 4th guy:

He played with Manning in 1998 and with Brady in 2001.

I think this Brady vs Manning thing is very simple. Brady is the better QB, period. Here is why:

1) Brady played with ONE high caliber receiver his whole career (Moss). Welker, though I was a huge fan, was a Brady made receiver, just like Marino made the 2 Marks in Miami. Manning ALWAYS had high caliber receivers who would have been stars on other teams. Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne are Hall Of Fame receivers, Dallas Clark is close. He always had a running game with Edgerrin Smith, who was also a good receiver, 7th all time for the Colts in receiving.

2) Manning played 90% of his Home games, indoors, especially in the winter, where as Brady had to deal with snow, rain, sleet, cold weather etc. If you don't think this is an advantage, you don't know football. Also, Manning's stats go down in cold weather (unless he's indoors).

3) Playoffs, Manning is not clutch in the playoffs. All you have to do is look at his stats in the playoffs vs what he does in the regular season. The ONE Super Bowl he did win, was more a by product of a great running game, as well as a defense that shut down a putrid Bear's offense. Manning threw 1 td pass and 2 ints in that SB (4 tds and 7 ints in that playoff year), while his running game rang up over 20 yards, there is no way that he deserved the SB MVP in that game, that was a farce. The SB against New Orleans, he was horrible, throwing the game winning int for the Saints. Against Seattle, I don't even have to say anything. Brady has been very good in the playoffs, winning 2 of the 3 SBs on last minute drives with under 1:30 left to set up game winning FGs. He also put the Pats in position to win the 2 SBs against the Giants, but the defenses were horrible and could not stop Peyton's baby brother each time.

Those are the reasons Brady is the better QB. There is nobody who can argue the points above without looking foolish. Manning can have his 800 regular season MVPs and 800 NFL records, he's a choker when it counts.
