Brady or Manning?

I sort of disagree that Brady's only had average talent around him. I'll give you the skill positions on offense, Manning obviously has had the advantage there, but the o-lines are pretty similiar in terms of talent. NE/Brady have also had the better defense since 2001, which has probably allowed them to win some games that they wouldn't have otherwise.
And finally, the kicker. If it weren't for Adam Vinaterri (sp?) NE may not have even gotten to the Super Bowl in 2002. Who knows what would happened after that.

A lot of people are saying they'd rather have Brady because of the Super Bowl wins, but I don't know how fair that really is. Brady is obviously a winner and a great field general, but I still think Manning is a better QB.
