Re: Brady or Manning?
 

What's sad is that in comparing Peyton to Brady a lot of people are missing out on the fact that we're seeing a great QB in Peyton. Too many people just see him as not as good as Brady and don't appreciate Manning's talents because of that.

Re: Brady or Manning?
 

From a pure passer standpoint and technician at the line of scrimmage, Manning is without a doubt one of the all-time greats. I love watching the guy play the game.

Unfortunately he's just not going to get the cred that Brady has until he wins a Super Bowl. Or at least start by taking the Colts deep into the playoffs. He's historically played some of his worst games when the games count the most, while Brady has played his best in those situations.

Re: Brady or Manning?
 

Why does every thread have to become a Brunell bash??

Seriously, enough, please.

Re: Brady or Manning?
 

hahahaha, probably because it's fun to bash people. You think Manning is gonna finally win it all this year??????

Re: Brady or Manning?
 

Well let's keep the bashing to the bashing threads, lord only knows we have plenty of those around.

Re: Brady or Manning?
 

Matty, isn't all this redundancy refreshing? hahahaha

Re: Brady or Manning?
 

I fail to understand why this is such a contested question? Brady is the best qb in football and it's not even a question. Of course his performances under pressure are legendary, but he has also been consistently able to captain teams into overachieving. I mean, the Pats were never the best team in the league talentwise for any of the superbowls. Maybe 2003, maybe. Two AFC championship victories on the road (one with the flu) and two game winning superbowl drives. A constant carousel of change around him, yet he still wins. And then he goes out and leads the league in passing yards last year.

It's time for people to get over the fact that he wasnt a first round pick.

Thats a good point TAFKAS, but for me, what attracts me to an athlete is his ability to perform under pressure and be at his best when the situation is the heaviest (same thing that stimulates Parcells judging from that recent article). All my favorite athletes had that: Jordan, Tiger, Montana (either that or they played for a Washington team).

It's kind of the A-Rod factor, and its something that pushes me away from certain guys. There's just something kind of, I don't know, icky about watching Manning consistently fold under big game pressure, then watching him go on TV and whine and deflect blame to his offensive line, or whoever. Ewww. The fact is Manning has never won a big game at any level.

I like watching Manning throw 49 TD's and do all his crazy audibilizing as much as anyone else, but he'll never be one of my guys. If the question is then Brady or Manning - and it is - I'm taking Brady any time any day any game.

Re: Brady or Manning?
 

Brady is a system qb, but Manning is the system. Manning anyday

[quote=GTripp0012;237270]Manning isn't?

Peyton Manning (2001-2006): 60-25*

Tom Brady (2001-2006): 64-21**

*excludes final 2 games of 2005
**excludes final game of 2005

Since they both boast ridiculous winning percentages, I'd call them both "winners". Of course, it's just a game and everybody's a winner:food-smil.


You win and lose as a team.[/quote]

i'm talking playoffs and superbowls here. how many does peyton have?......... ok know how many does brady have? 3 and soon to be 4 IMO.

plus he doesn't bitch about everything under the sun

Re: Brady or Manning?
 

brady is so amazing. he is soooo cool under pressure, i think manning kind of folds under pressure.
