Breaking down Brady/Manning winning %

[Patsfanin Philly]

Brady, 125-36 (.776)
Manning, 140-71 (.664)


For Manning to get his winning percentage to Brady's level, he would have to win 91 consecutive games.

Actually it's 107 consecutive games!!!!!!!

No need for this at all. If Brady gets a ring this year there will be no comparison with anybody except Joe Montana.

I believe your numbers are wrong for Manning.

Your numbers for Brady are a combination of his regular and postseason totals, but your numbers for Manning are incorrect. I've got him at 141-67 (.678) in the regular season and 9-10 (.474) in the postseason. That equals a career record of 150-77 (.661). It also means Manning has actually started 66 (not 50) more games in his career which equates to more than four full seasons.

I think I might know the source of your error. You probably used the pro-football-reference (link below) and didn't realize that under the current year (2010) the QB's record
aren't calculated. For some reason they include all the stats from the current year but not the wins/losses. I included two wiki sites that seem to be both accurate and updated often. They're good resources if you like to follow these things.

So Brady is currently just 25 wins from Manning with a chance to add as many as three more before the season ends. That's pretty darn impressive considering he's started 66 fewer games.
