April 22, 201313 yr ^Different debate for a different thread, but your avatar tells me it'd be a pointless exercise. You won't be able to see it without bias.
April 22, 201313 yr Author No one wins meaningless games as well as Peyton Manning. Put him on a stage where the games have real meaning and he's average at best. That is the one and only reason necessary as to why people should say Brady is better. Manning in his career is 9-11 in the postseason....He's been a "one & done" postseason QB 8 times. 8 TIMES! Tom Brady has won more postseason games than any QB in NFL history. Stupid debate over. Lol postseason games do not defy a great qb, sure, they're great to have, but they do not make a great qb. Is Jim Kelly better than Dan Marino because he has more playoff wins? The playoff wins are the only thing people like you have to fall back on. Over all stats, MVP's, and how valuiable they are to their team, Manning takes it everytime. So maybe your stupid debate with yourself is over but I'm still going on. Tom Brady IS NOT even top 5 best QBs of all time.

"People like you" :lol2: The purpose of football is to win a ring, is it not? You can harp on meaningless garbage all you want, but at the end of the day Tom Brady has 3 rings that "say he's good on Sunday" (Source: Michael Irvin). He also owns the record for most TD passes in a single season, 2 Super Bowl MVPs, 2 Regular season MVPs, has thrown for the 2nd most yards in a single season in NFL history, and throws very few interceptions. Also has the 3rd highest QB rating (during the regular season) in NFL history, above your beloved Peyton Manning who also throws more INTs a season (14.9 to 11.2).
April 22, 201313 yr Tom Brady IS NOT even top 5 best QBs of all time. You can make a legit argument that Manning is better than Brady, you'd be wrong, but at least you can make the argument. However, to say the above shows 1 of 2 things to be true. Either 1) you don't actually follow the NFL, or 2) you just like stirring the pot and don't really believe what you're saying.
April 22, 201313 yr Peyton Manning is the type of player that would have made any team in the NFL a playoff team in his prime, which from the stats I think he's still in his prime. I don't think that would be the case for Brady, he is a product of the system. The year Brady got hurt Matt Cassel came in and looked amazing, even earned himself a nice starting spot in KC.... and has looked nothing but awful the entire time since. The same thing would have happend to Brady if they had decided to start Drew Bledsoe after he came back from his injury, Tom Brady would have went to Buffalo or somewhere, played a few seasons and we would have never heard from him again. Your argument has one flaw in it. The year the Patiots won the super bowl guessed who they lost to start the season that year when Bledsoe was the starter? The pathetic Bengals beat them, so obviously that system was not doing to great until Brady started running it.
April 22, 201313 yr Oh no, Ive lost all creditability with 75center. I've listed plenty of reasons why he's not in the same league with Manning. The only reason people consider Brady as a legend is because of the superbowls, if he would have played 15 years and never won one, nobody would care. If Manning played 15 and never won one, he would still be conseidered one of the best. Tom Brady can't even beat Eli. You can't act like its they system Brady plays in when that system Billichick has never worked that great until Brady took it over. Shoot Billichick was fired before because of his system not working. Your argument is very weak because of these things. Billichick is going to go down as one of the greatest coaches of all time because of Brady. If Brady never came into this life, he wouldn't have ever been known as such a great coach.

I can argue this because Terry Bradshaw won more SB's than anyone but he wouldn't make a lot of peoples top 5, am I right in saying that?

Tom Brady is 21.
April 22, 201313 yr NFL Films Top 100 Greatest Players has Peyton Manning at 8... Tom Brady is 21. No one is debating Manning as a great QB. You've backed yourself into a debate that you don't want. Your points hold no logic. Obviously postseason wins mean something, duh. Super Bowl rings also mean something. Yes the regular season means something but not as much. Let me throw this at you. In the 90's baseball had the Atlanta Braves and the New York Yankees. If you ask people who the best was they would probably say the Yankees. Braves won 9 straight division titles and 1 World Series. The Yankees won a few titles and won 2, maybe 3, World Series (if I'm not mistaken). Braves are like Manning dominating regular seasons but fizzling during the postseason, the Yankees had similar regular success but had a lot more postseason success.

Peyton Manning has a won a Super Bowl. If we're saying because Tom Brady has 3 that makes him better than Manning I don't know why we're even having this conversation because Terry Bradshaw and Joe Montanna are the greatest alive because they have 4? So Lebron James is nothing compared to Kobe then, right? Where's your logic?
