kAjUn;115852 said:I've always been a big Peyton fan, especially since he's from New Orleans. And I've always been a Brady fan, not so much as a fan but he really earned my respect because I had a lot of doubts and thought he was going to be a 1hit wonder lol. You know these two quarterbacks are great when people are still arguing this for the about 5-6 years now.
The way I see it I still give the edge to Brady for now but if Peyton wins this one it'll bring the argument a lot closer. Now when most people bring titles to the picture nobody insinuating that all that matter is rings and Dilfer>>>Marino. The point is when you have two players that are on the same level as each other you have to find things that separates one from the other. Are rings the only deciding factor? Hell no, I think you should throw in talent, numbers, and impact to the picture aswell.
The knock on Peyton was that he couldn't win the big one and he chokes in the playoffs. Well he silenced all the naysayers in 06 when they won it all and defeated the pats in the afc title game. And he's in the big game again. The only knock on Peyton you can really point at is his postseason performances. 6 times they been knocked out of the playoffs their first game and 3 of them they've had a first round bye. This franchise has more wins in a decade than any franchise in nfl history and they finished with atleast 12 wins countless of times. It's mind boggling that how great he is he struggled in the post season that much, even during his championship run he threw for 3td's and 7 int's.
For years the argument has been if Peyton had the defense he would have as many super bowls as Brady and if Brady has had the weapons as Peyton he would put up great statistics as Peyton. Both has been proven to be accurate. Brady finally have top tier receivers and Manning finally has a defense he can rely on the past few seasons. You can argue it both ways but you can't discredit how much both of these guys mean to each other franchises.
Far as numbers go you can't knock Peyton numbers , but trying to compare it to Brady's is pretty unfair considering Brady has only played 8 full seasons. 2000 he didn't start and 2008 he missed the entire year. Let's take a look at the comparison.
Peyton started 12 full season, has thrown for 50,128 yards, 366 td's, and has a qb rating of 95.2.
Brady has started 8 full seasons, thrown for 30,844 yards, 225 td's, and rating is 93.3.
Judging off of the past two seasons you can see how much of an impact having great talent at the receiving position can do for a great qb. Both compliment each other.
Brady has thrown for 78 td's, 21 int's, 9,204 yards and rating has been 106.7. So just for fun by averaging it out he would be averaging 39 td's, 10.5 int's, 4600 yards per season. If you take away 4 seasons from Peyton Manning to equal it out to Brady's he would only have 33,418.6 yards and 244 td's in 8 seasons. So by looking at that the numbers they are pretty close and the big disparity in talent isn't as wide as a gap as people think it is when going off of statistics and also take in consideration Brady was throwing to 3rd and 4th option receivers 3/4th of his career. So in a nutshell it's pretty equal when you balance it all out.
But at the end of the day who's better? I really can't say. But if you ask me who would I want to lead my franchise to titles I'd give the slight edge to Brady.
Oh man..........you my nigga. No Homo. You my nigga. Finally somebody in here who know what the fuck he talking about. My man.
Niggas in here saying Brady was a System QB & Just a "Trent Dilfer" & a Glorified Game Manager. Like Really? Cmon Son. 3 Rings. Dynasty of The Patriots. Cmon Son. Tom Brady. Who ALL Anaylists consider to be #2 or #1b to Joe Montana & These niggas on here saying he a "Game Manager" BWWAaaaaahahahahahhahahahahha. Seriously.
Not only Has Brady Accomplished more than Peyton, he did so in less time, at an earlier point in his career & without much help offensively. I dont understand how ppl dont understand that. How can someone Win 3 Rings in his first 5 Years, Be the top QB for years & Basically run the NFL playoffs in his first few years but, not be better than someone who took 10 Years to win his first championship, was a habitual choker & only has 1 ring to show for his career. PEOPLE ON HERE SAYING PEYTON DIDNT HAVE ANY DEFENSE DURING HIS EARLIER CAREER, BUT, I SPECIFICALLY REMEMBER PEYTON LOSING THEM GAMES, ESPECIALLY VS. THE JETS in 2002 41-0 ONLY PASSING FOR 137 YARDS. He couldnt get past the Patriots for Years in The Playoffs. HOW DOES THAT MAKE HIM BETTER. ITS JUST NOT MATCHING UP WHEN YOU LOOK AT FACTS.

Yall Niggas must be looking at the wrong stats.......them shits is damn near equal. Then when you consider the fact Brady Won 3 Times.....I dont get where yall are coming from. then niggas in here saying, since Matt Cassel took the Patriots 11-5, Brady isnt that good because of what Cassel did. THE PATRIOTS IN 2008, HAD ONE OF THE MOST LOADED TEAMS OF ALL TIME, RYAN LEAF COULDVE TOOK THAT TEAM 11-5, THEY HAD RANDY MOSS, WES WELKER, MAROONEY & A SHITLOAD OF OTHER TALENTED PLAYERS. DOES THAT MAKE BRADY ANY LESS OF A SUPERSTAR...........NO!!!!!! BECAUSE WHEN HE WON ALL OF THEM RINGS..........HE DIDNT HAVE ANY OF THEM STARS ON HIS TEAM, IT WAS ALL ON HIM................IM SURE MOST OF YALL LIKE BASKETBALL & WATCH IT REGULARLY & MOST LIKELY BELIEVE MICHAEL JORDAN WAS THE BEST PLAYER TO WALK THIS PLANET. BUT, COULDNT YOU SAY HE WASNT THE BEST PLAYER OF ALL TIME, SINCE SCOTTIE PIPPEN TOOK THE BULLS 65-17 & TO THE DEEP PLAYOFFS WHEN MICHAEL JORDAN RETIRED?????? I MEAN THAT WAS YOUR ARGUMENT. KINDA STUPID WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT IN THOSE TERMS???
