Brady or Manning?

[Toro]

Patriots Nation is finally united on the Brady/Bledsoe question. There were some die hard Bledsoe holdouts but finally it's just about unanimous now.

But how does Brady stack up against the best quarterbacks in the whole league. I'm decidely prejudiced but I take him over Manning.

Seriously though, try again, how about McNair and Peyton, after all they both were only the co-mvp's last year.

--------------------- QB rating
Steve McNair TEN 100.4
Peyton Manning IND 99.0
Daunte Culpepper MIN 96.4
Trent Green KC 92.6
Jake Plummer DEN 91.2
Brett Favre GB 90.4
Matt Hasselbeck SEA 88.8
Aaron Brooks NO 88.8
Jon Kitna CIN 87.4
Tom Brady NE 85.9

I knew someone would post some stats. To prove how stats distort the truth, just look at the list you provided. In all honesty, how many of the QB's on that list would you want over Brady?

[/ QUOTE ] I would take two for sure over Brady. Manning and McNair, and I consider everyone else in the same group, with a few near the top (Brady, Hasselbeck, Green, and Culpepper)

I am not trying to say that Brady sucks, but as of right now McNair and Manning are better. Brady could very easily become the best in the league, but I will wait till the season is over to make that decision.

Forget mcNair. Too many miles on him. It's either Brady or Manning imo.

Huh? McNair is 31. Joe Montana won a super bowl at the age of 32 and 33. Elway won at age 37 and 38.

I would love to have Tom Brady as my quarterback. But, this is still a team game, and the best QB isn't necessarily the one with the most wins. Talent-wise, taking Manning or McNair over Brady is a no-brainer. Culpepper is close; if he stopped turning the ball over, he would be in that class. Vick is close, too, but for a team like the Patriots, Brady is a far better choice.

Green, Plummer, Favre, Hasselbeck, Brooks, and Kitna are definitely below Brady.

I realize I have offered little analysis.

I don't think they would've won a single championship without imo the best QB(and perhaps player) in the league.

I'm not a Pats fan btw.

Manning does great in the regular season, but what about big games?
