Who is Better Peyton Manning or Tom Brady?
Watching football this year brings up this question again. Who is better: Peyton Manning or Tom Brady? Without question these are the two best quarterbacks of this generation and perhaps all generations. The names like Marino, Elway, Montana, and Bradshaw come to mind as soon as you think of Tom Brady and Peyton Manning.
Anyway you look at these two quarterbacks many of the same things pop up as similar between the two. Lets look at stats - both are gaudy. Manning has consistently put up stats that are not matched by anyone in history. However, look at the talent around him since he was a rookie. He has always had the likes of Marivn Harrison and now reggie Wayne to throw the ball at. Tom Brady didnt have those types of stats until he got Randy Moss and Wes Welker to throw to. The year Brady added those weapons, he threw for 50 touchdowns breaking Peyton Manning's record of 48 touchdowns.
If you look at intangilbes - both of these quarterbacks possess those as well. Both are freakishly accurate at throwing the ball. Brady probably has a stronger arm, but Peyton may be the most accurate passer I have ever seen. Peyon Manning this year is so accurate that it almost looks like he is playing in slow motion compared to everyone else. Brady is recovering from a knee injury and now is starting to look like he did in 2007 when all records were broken. If you ask the question who do you want with the ball to come from behind and win a game. Who do you choose? The guy who has more 4th quarter comebacks in the league other than Farve or the guy who led a team on a drive with a minute left to take the lead in the superbowl and by the way is number 2 in fourth quarter comebacks.
Lastly you look at championship pedigree. Brady has 3 rings and played in 4 superbowls and Manning has 1 ring. However, Brady's teams had perhaps the best defense in the league for a decade making Tom's job easier.
If you ask me you cannot choose they are the two best of this generation. If I had to pick I would pick Peyton Manning. Something about how he carries himself on the field that says there is no way my team is losing. His accuracy and competitiveness are uncanny. All I know is as long as the Patriots and Colts have these two quarterbacks they will always be a thread to win a superbowl.
