Manning for me, but it's pretty close. 2nd place in this competition would still put you in the title hunt. It's not like it's Leaf v Manning.

Manning all day, Farve was great but has really soured me with all the INT's of late.

 

True that Favre's pick total has gone up with his age (we will see how Manning's pick total is when he is 39), but when both were in their prime I'll take Favre. Peyton has slightly better stats (and the advantage of playing indoors all those years helps that). If you do not agree, try throwing the ball in Green Bay in December...

 

Really splitting hairs as both are two of the greatest of all time.

 

 

Favre's INTs have been an issue his entire career, not just the past couple of years. I still remember his 5 pick performance in the playoffs six seasons ago.

22 touchdowns to 22 interceptions for Favre this year... And he's a pro bowler this year... Yeah right.

Manning just earned his 3rd MVP award, which ties Brett Favre.

Manning by far.

Here's some stats. Did not include Farve's first year in his 11 year stat comparison. Can't go wrong with either guy. But I'd have to take Manning.

Manning, and I don't think it's even close.

Whether you're picking career, right now or where they'll end up...the answer is Peyton Manning.

Actually I think the only two people on this site that have an intense dislike for him are Jim Schue and I.

 

I can't stand media darlings for the most part. Anytime anyone gets the kind of absurd publicity Manning has it drives me up the wall. Yes I know he may be the best ever, yes I know he is kind hearted, yes I know he takes care of the children of syphilitic lepers, yes I know that he and Tim Tebow could solve all the world's problems if they had half a chance....blah blah blah...

 

Were it not for the fact that the Patriots and Tom Brady played spoiler to Manning so many times in the past I would probably dislike them too.

Count me in as having an intense dislike for him. Plus I think he is overrated. Plus he was a Vol...BOO!
