When it came down to the wire, the Patriot defense stiffened, and the Charger defense had some gaping holes to throw into. Brady just did what he's paid to do on that drive.
I said yesterday that the game chooses it's champion. Obviously thats not decided yet (I hope), but the game "decided" that despite the talent discrepancy yesterday, the Chargers were going one and done. The Chargers were the best team in the league, but they, like every other team in history, needed some good fortune to win in the playoffs. They didn't get any. Of the 5 fumbles that were put on the ground by both teams, all 5 were recovered by the Patriots.
Therefore, rings is not a reasonable arguement of QB play, it simply doesn't tell you anything. It's the ultimate goal, it isnt how you get there.
The following guys have rings in the last 10 years:
Brad Johnson
Trent Dilfer
Kurt Warner
When do these guys get their HOF tickets?
In Brady's six years as a starter, he has yet to outperform Manning in ANY season. The question of who is better is downright ridiculous.

With that said Brady also threw 3 ints which the Chargers did not take advantage of unlike the Pats. If the Chargers won all the bad plays from them would be forgotten and only those three int's is what we would be talking about. Its just the bad plays for the loosing team always looks worse than the winners.Those QB's you named have one SB ring Brady has 3 which is what sets him apart. I guess you can pick a stat guy I'll go with the winner. I also noticed that you left Farve off your list.
