The quotes from around the NFL:
They probably only have four or five plays they run most of the time," Baltimore Ravens linebacker Bart Scott said. "It's just that Peyton is so good at knowing how you're going to defend them each time that he knows where to go depending on the defense."
Or as Dallas owner Jerry Jones put it: "Not to take anything away from Tom Brady, but I believe that you could put a player in (for Brady) and do what they do at New England and win some games better than you can plug another quarterback in what they do at Indianapolis."
"I personally believe I could make it for a game or two without Brady. But I think it would be a dramatic difference, a drop off, without Peyton Manning out there. It's how he gets out there and runs the checks and everything, gets them in the right plays."

Manning is a better QB then Brady is. Not by to much but like the article said an average QB could do what Brady is doing or just under in that system, Brady could not do what Manning is doing in Indy. The only reason that Brady has over 30 TD's this year to this point is that they have played 4 of the worst pass defense teams in the league. While Manning has been up against much better teams, as well as knowing that he does not have to throw 400 yards and 6 TD's to win, He is managing the game better that is why his numbers are down. I pick Indy to win this weekend and Patriots wont win it all.

I think Peyton is the best QB, but it's close. Both of them have always been surrounded by a ton of talent, Manning probably more so until this year, but all I have to do is see Peyton Manning throw one of his perfect passes to Harrison or Wayne in tight double coverage that they catch without breaking stride to know that he is better.

Definately. Brady has the benefit of playing on consistently good teams. Peyton can carry a crappy team (and has on several occaisons).
Also Peyton can pick a defense apart with audibles something very few QBs can ever master even after years of playing.

Using selective quotes to further your argument? Okay, I can do that too:
"Steelers receiver Hines Ward, on the late drive that set up the last-second field goal: ''That's Tom Brady. Tom Brady is the best quarterback in football."

Or how about this one, where you have Lupica, Lebatard and Whitlock all talking about how much better Brady is than Manning?

My point is that anyone can use quotes about guys to put one above the other. Your argument is weak.

Peyton is good, but he has always had good talent on the offense to boost up his stats. Therefore, I'd say Brady is the best, but its a close call.

In my opinion only, Payton Manning is the
smartest, most brilliant QB I have ever seen.
And I have seen a lot of 'em 'cause I'm old.
Just look at my avatar.
