Edit: Brady missed a season and they still won 11 games!

Then the next year a rookie QB took that same one win team to the playoffs.

Luck is awesome too. This isnt about Luck it is about Manning and Brady. They each missed a year in their prime. Mannings team won one, Bradys won 11. Cannot discount that.
The Colts - when Lucks career there is over can look back and say they probably had thee longest run in NFL history with an elite QB at the helm.
Edit : not trying to take anything away from Brady. He is one of the all time greats but if you switched his and Mannings teams through their careers we are saying Brady couldnt win in big spots. Its all about situations in sports. Put Dan Marino on the Redskins in the 80's - where by the way he was very close to winding up - and he probably has 3-4 rings. Put Terry Bradshaw on the Lions and we have no idea who he is today. Lol
