and u basing fg wins or discredting his wins for that is b.s. when field goals are a part of the game, and the reason the colts pick'd up Adam Vinatari as well...or the supply fact that a field goal kicker can't kick a field goal if his offense doesn't put him in position....so if manning wins the superbowl this year off the leg of his kicker then we can't give him full crdit cuz they won by a field goal..in fact we should now take away drew brees trip to the superbowl cuz they won by a field goal......that is just down right stupid in logic...
I didn't say you did. I said the analysts do. When they compare the QB's they say those things about Peyton, and they say Brady won 3 superbowls when choosing the better QB.
You misunderstood my point. I didn't discredit him or the victory with the example I gave. My point was too much credit is given/taken on the outcome of the SB rather than the quality of play of each QB. All I was saying was if the FG had been blocked and returned for a TD (or the FG was made, and the kickoff after was returned for a TD) would that make Brady any less of a QB? No, but it would take a SB away from him. That's my point. Neither QB would have been on the field, they both would have put up the same stats they put up, but the other QB (not Brady) would be getting all this credit, and sooo much credit would be taken from Brady. But why? He played the exact same game, just had different results. Why fault him for that? This is why I say superbowls are a team effort, and shouldn't be a big factor in a debate over individual talent. You see what I'm sayin?
