Who is better, Brady or Manning?

Question

i personally think Brady is a much better quarterback.
A. he doesn't have the supported cast Manning has and he still is a dominant player
B. he is in my mind one of the best playoff quarterbacks of all time(is he like 15 -2) while Manning chokes in the playoffs every year(he didnt win the superbowl, his defense did)
C. three rings to one
so give me your opinion and why which is better

a Dan Marino who couldn't win the big games, like manning

Wayne and Harrison compared to Brown and Caldwell, who has the better supporting cast.
also, manning might be the better season quarterback, but looking at his ratings in the playoffs, the terrible. every year in the past he has had these rating in the playoffs. and yes, brady had an excelent defense over the past couple years, but he still didnt have nearly as shitty ratings as manning did in his playoff games

for the record, im a steelers fan

hey pmalcolm1983, **** you! the patriots wouldn't have had that great defense if the drafted offensive players in the first round every god damn year, which tells me exactly WHY the colts couldnt win **** for the past couple years, and even when they did win, Manning played like **** each game. i think Addai should have won the sb mvp, not manning

Answer 1

I agree with you 100%. Brady is definitly better then Manning, it's proven facts. Brady has 3 or 4 superbowl rings and Manning has one after he finally beat the Patriots in the AFC championship game for the FIRST time.

Also Manning has 2 of the best WR in the game to throw to, who always find ways to get open, he also has Dallas Clark at TE who is a good option aswell. I looked up Manning stats when Wayne or Harrison where injured, and i found a game were they where both injured and Manning threw for a career low 123 yards, 3INTS, 1TD


Without all those weapons, Manning is just useless and can't get anything done because he needs someone at WR to make all his amazing catches. And people always say well Manning is so great he does his own plays and changes them in the huddle....if he is so great why hasn't he won more then 1 SuperBowl in his career?

Tom Brady is easily the better choice, he always managed to get it done even with WR who arn't that great, he has won 3 or 4 superbowls and continously gets in done threw the air even with marginal WR. I remember in the play-offs his WR he was throwing to were Zaruli Smith, Bam Childress, Reche Caldwell and Troy Brown, Troy Brown is old, Caldwell drops everything, and Smith and Childress where called up to the team of the practice squad 2 weeks ago! Brady never gives up and can make plays happen, he is SO clutch an Manning is nothing without weapons at WR


Brady is overall better and people think Manning is so great but he is very overated, and people who say "oh, hes going to the hall of fame" well of course he is, David Carr could go to the hall of fame with WR like Manning has.

Answer 2

Manning is a better QB. He reads defenses at the line and audibles the play depending on the defense, can read his receivers routes and see who is the best passing option at that moment and led a team with a mediocre defense to the playoffs every year. Last year, he was MVP of the Superbowl, while his defense didn't have much trouble dealing with the passing offense with Rex Grossman throwing the ball. The year before, it was the defense and the dropped passes by receivers that costs the Colts, not Manning. He also currently owns the single season touchdown record and will break many of Marino's and Elway's records during his stellar career.

Brady is a good QB but the Patriots were led by one of the best defenses the NFL has ever seen. Brady wouldn't have 3 rings right now if it wasn't for the Patriots Pro Bowl defense stopping the offensive juggernauts they faced in the playoffs and Superbowls. Brady will never have close to the stats that Manning puts up every year and will not be close when both of their careers are over.

Answer 3

Manning is a better pocket passer. He is the best in the league and a couple years ago he broke Marino's record. Manning has a Super Bowl ring too.

Brady plays better in the clutch, he doesn't second guess himself. Brady is building a dynasty with the Patriots with three rings. He isn't as accurate as Manning is though.

So both players are pretty equal and we might see the same matchup in the AFC Championship Game.

Answer 4

The two teams are totally different with New England always having the superior defense. It is much easier to win games when the other team has a difficult time scoring against you. which allows a quarterback more opportunities to get his team in scoring postion. If Manning played for New England he would probably have three rings by now and if Brady played for Indy he might have one.
If I had to chose I woulod take Manning but Brady is a close second. They are both outstanding quarterbacks.

Answer 5

Manning easily the better QB.
Kind of contradictory how you can say Brady himself is 15-2 in the playoffs, like he won all those games all by himself, yet you say Manning didn't win the sb his defense did.
You are asking which is the better QB.
Manning statistically is the superior QB every year to every other QB in the league. The sheer numbers he puts up, actually, he HAS to put up to win games because everyone knows the Colts defenses is one of the worst in the league.
If you were asking which was the better TEAM, I may lean toward the Patriots.
Great TEAMS win Super Bowls.
The QB is just one person on the team.

Answer 6

It's a moot point - and he who wins is the best.

It's a well known cliche...and from my perspective - a fact - Defense wins Championships, and playoffs, and Superbowls...not quarterbacks or supporting players.

The number of rings a player holds is indicative only of the frequency of attendance.
I know people that went to the Superbowl, never played, and retired once they earned the ring because they were terrible but owned a Superbowl ring.

I think the "supprted cast" argument doesn't factor in too well either. BOTH quarterbacks have excellent players that support them. Offense selld tickets - it doesn't win championships.

manning won the Superbowl; therefore he is this years "better quarterback".

Answer 7

Are you nuts? Manning is the superior QB. Brady relies on HIS defense much more. Brady has Pro bowlers all over his team. Manning has quite a good many fewer. Manning won the Superbowl with a horrible rush defense (which turned into a strength in the playoffs) Manning makes all the calls at the line, Brady relies on Belicheck. I'm not saying Brady is bad, but Manning is in another league. Brady is like Joe Montana, Manning is like Dan Marino.

Answer 8

Peyton is Dan Marino, and Brady is Joe Montana. The colts got way to lucky this year. The patriots barely had anytime on offense, and they had a weak offense, besides brady last year. Which is why they won.

Dan Marino is known for choking in the playoffs and losing in his only superbowl, while having one of the greatest arms ever. Manning will be known as the same. He is not good i nthe playoffs, what does one lucky run at the superbowl give you rights to being clutch.

Brady has 3, Manning has 1, I don't think he should have won MVP either, but that's a different story

My top 2 qbs in the league will always be:

1. Brady
2. Manning

Forever.

Answer 9

manning is by far look at the numbers like 7 years throwing 4000+ yds thats a record his completion percentage is better.
he runs the show brady doesnt. and brady only won because of his supportig cast (a good kicker a great d and the refs) he puts up average #s for a qb. the supportig cast your talking about harrison and wayne the patriots could have drafted in stead of terry glenn or richard seymor so its not their fault they fell to the colts. brady will own no records when he retires. manning will own almost all of them.give peyton time is next sb is in the near future. hell probably end up with at least 3

ps the steelers suck and will finish 5-11

Answer 10

im going with Bradie James. Manning is a good returner but im going with James
