I'll ask you the same question. Brady is having to face off on the #27 ranked defense to move on in the playoffs. Manning is having to face off on the #5 defense to move on in the playoffs. Which one of these guys will face a harder time moving on? Does Tom have it easier or does Peyton? If both of these QBs are equal, which one do you suspect to move on?

It's quite simple deduction. Peyton hasn't fared as well because he simply was facing stiffer competition than Brady.

You make it seem like Brady has only faced the worst defenses on his way towards his rings whereas Manning has only faced the sternest competition. If the Patriots lose next week against a common opponent because Brady has a pick 6, a fumble, and an int in OT then maybe you'll have some validity to your argument, but the fact is Brady has lead his team to 6 game winning drives during the playoffs vs 1 for Manning. When it's mattered most Brady has shown he's who you should want orchestrating that final drive.
