This is too funny. Tom Brady is the King, LOL. In his first Super Bowl, the one where the Raiders should have been there instead, "he" put up 20 pts (including the first 7 by the defense), 24 vs. Philly, 32 vs Carolina and a whopping 14 against the Giants when he had the greatest offense of all time? This thread is laughable.
FYI - Matt Cassell went 11-4 with the team that Brady carries singlehandedly on his back every year. Yes, they were 11-5, but you can't expect even a top level QB like Matt Cassell to come in cold and win a game after Tommy Boy goes down with an injury. Matt Cassell.....hmmm....he was a good one......what ever happened to him I wonder.
Brady never choked like Manning did tonight. Even with the Giant's loss, he marched down the field what appeared to be the winning TD. Can't blame the Samuel drop/Meriweather drop/DL missed sack/helmet catch on him.
It might not be fair but that one throw cements Manning's legacy.
I am from Boston...spent 30 years there. I still follow all 4 Boston teams. Threads like this one are embarassing to Boston and legit sports fans.
"that one throw cements his legacy" -- Are you kidding? Just ridiculous!
Take the Boston glasses off and look at this objectively for once in your life. Peyton and Brady will be 1st ballot hall of famers...PERIOD. They will be in the top 5 best NFL QB conversation during our lifetime. Their differences are miniscule. Their leadership, attention to detail, and ability to read and disect defenses is the best around. Stop the hate and enjoy these legends.
Sharpshooter, my words might have been a little harsh after missing out on $2,500 from a $100 square if he punched that last one it. I am sorry I have embarrassed you and the city of Boston.
I would also like to announce that I am entering the Betty Ford clinic. Drunk posts like that at 2am are simply unacceptable. Again, I apologize to all who I offended.
You have to realize that most of a QB's is success is attributed to the people around him. There are no easy comparisons. In their 1st SB wins, Brady had 145 yards and Big Ben was 9 of 21. Those were defensive victories.
If Garcon catches that crossing pattern on 3rd down or Samuel catched that INT, the legacy of Brady and Manning is that much greater based on something they had no control over.
Everyone does realize that being the best QB in a given year does not mean you are the most talented. It's all about who's in the best situation. Manning has worked with the same OC his entire career, they have assembled a great pass blocking OL, 2 quick rb's who compliment the passing game, and most importantly, avoided major injuries.
If Moore retires or Clark and Wayne go down on IR next year, Manning could very well have a Brady like season and we'll have hear how much he sucks. These guys are very talented but they're are not gods. There's a lot that goes into the equation.
