NBC Sunday Night Football: Brady > Manning

[Vlad the Impaler]

Vlad, just stop. Manning has played on some of the best teams this decade plus yet he loses time and time and time again in the playoffs

How many times has he gone one and done with the one seed? or a bye? I know it's an NFL record number of times

So his teams are good enough to win byes, his teammates go to the HOF, his skill position teammates set career marks, yet poor Peyton plays on bad teams

186-79 regular season
11-13 playoffs (usually with home field advantage)

that's regression

Most of the times he loses to the team that ends up winning the SB. Steelers, Patriots( 3 times?), Saints, Seahawks. The playoff thing is overated. He has had a few perfect qb ratings in the playoffs.

I guess Eli is better than Tom because he beat him twice in the SB. Brady could so easily have 0 SB titles or 6 SB titles.

Playoffs are mostly about defense. It's no secret; Manning is not at his best in cold weather but the defense is what made the difference in all of those playoff games. The Pats have always had the superior defense against the Colts. The Pats defense is so versatile it can have so many different fronts. Teams should take a lesson from Belichick. Usually it is obvious who is coming and who is dropping hence why Tony Dungy is a moron.

You are making a completely inaccurate statement.

Count the number of Hall of Famers and future Hall of Famers on these teams and let me know talent wise who had the better team.

2007 Brady had a Future HOF WR and went perfect in the regular season. (He also lost to the Superbowl winner)

If Tom had a lot of his guys for their entire careers, they would be Hall of Famers too, but that is not "the Patriot Way". The Colt way is to keep Marvin and Reggie until they had nothing left. What the hell has Stokely ever done in the NFL without Peyton?

Besides, I was talking about defense and that is what it has come down too in the playoffs. The year Sanders comes back for the playoffs, Colts make SB after allowing an all time regular season rushing record against them.

 

[MikeB]

I don't understand what your arguement is for Peyton being better.

The Superbowls that he didn't win? The offensive players around him being better than what Brady had?

Are you basing your arguement off of offensive #'s? You aren't being clear

He's not arguing rationally. He's arguing from emotion.

What exactly is your argument?

Peyton had better offensive players?

Who had better defensive players and a far better coach? Dungy should be in D 3 where he belongs. Too stupid and too nice
