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.

"The game chooses it's champion?" What the hell does that mean? Is "the Game" some dark spirit in a cloak that waves a magic wand? A little pixie that appears out of thin air and zaps one team with magic? Why are we even watching the damn game then?
The world isn't fair? Recovering fumbles is luck? Overcoming three interceptions is luck?
BS. Yes, the Pats got some breaks yesterday but if San Diego had been good enough to stop Brady when it mattered then it becomes a moot point.
Winning in the playoffs requires luck, but in the same breath we're supposed to accept the the fact that the Chargers are "the best team in the league" because winning in the regualr season doesn't require luck?
San Diego didn't get it done when it mattered, Brady and the Pats did. That's the end of the story and the way it will be written.
Brady is the best money-time QB in the game and his 12-1 postseason record says it all; it's silly to argue with this.
