Who would you compare with Manning and Brady?

Question

Would you say Brady - Joe Montana? Manning - Dan Marino? I think thats pretty fair! I think Peyton is alot like a "Super Dan"! Because he is bigger and better quarterback than Marino was but similar nevertheless. Brady reminds me of Joe Montana. His style of play is very similar.

Answer 1

I think Brady is most like Aikman, Manning is most like Steve Young

Answer 2

Yeah...I said this a couple months ago...This is Montana(Brady) and Marino(Peyton) 20 years later...

Answer 3

That's a very good comparison.

I think Brady's are is a bit stronger than Montana's.

Answer 4

i wouldnt compare them to either one, those boys are legends and manning and brady is no where near them. they may play like their styles but never fill their shoes. those boys played with passion and thats just not around anymore, farve about the only one left that plays for the love of the game

Answer 5

Manning with Johnny Unitas!! They played for the same team!

Answer 6

i would compare manning to dan fouts. just a great guttsy QB......brady reminds me of troy aikman...he just wins. but your comparrisons are good too....just thought i'd offer a different op.

Answer 7

Once these guys finish their careers, you can compare. Stop alreay people.

Answer 8

I'd compare Brady with Enron because of the manner in which the Patriots tend to win:

1-Patriots Linebacker Willie McGinest made the play of the year in ’03 by going down with a hilariously fake injury, forcing the officials to stop the clock and the Colts momentum. The crowd knew it was fake, the refs knew it was fake, and the Colts knew it was fake. Later on McGinest would laugh coyly about the play, further fueling our rage. To this day if you want to anger a Colts fan mention this "injury". On fourth down, with 14 seconds left, there was McGinest back like Lazarus to catch Edgerrin James in the backfield and preserve the win for New England. That’s against the rules by the way.

2-Supposedly the Patriots run up scores because they are angry about the Beli-Cheat scandal and are scoring points like crazy to express their anger against the world. Wait a moment: What right do the Patriots have to be angry? They, after all, are the ones who admitted to systematic cheating. Other people didn't impose that situation on them -- they cheated of their own free accord, imposing the tainting of their accomplishments on themselves. The Patriots were not wronged; they wronged others. Yet they're mad about being caught, and they seem to want to take out their bad feelings about themselves by embarrassing second-echelon teams. That bespeaks lack of character. And look at the teams in their division. The Bills don’t look TOO bad until you realize who’ve they’ve beat.

3-"The team did not have a satisfactory explanation when asked about possible irregularities in its communication setup during the game." Says NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. Imagine you’re an offensive coordinator playing the Pats. It’s fourth and two, with a minute to play, and you've got the perfect play to run. Suddenly your two-way communication goes fuzzy. Those wacky Patriots!
The Colts, thanks to Peyton, don't need an offensive cooridinator to radio in a play. Peyton can just call it at the line. Isn't it funny that the Colts are also the only team to have recent success against the Pats?

4-Tuck Rule game. Brady, who is supposedly “clutch”, fumbled the game away to Oakland. Had it CORRECTLY been called a fumble Brady would’ve had one less ring. Probably 2 less when you take into consideration how that championship proliferated the health of that franchise.

5-Mr.Clutch (Brady) also threw the game ending interception to the Colts last year.

6-Rodney Harrison steroids.

7-They treated Vinatieri horribly and when you think about the fact that the Patriots always seem to win Super Bowls because of him, it’s pretty sad. It’s a joke that Brady has been named Super Bowl MVP twice. Vinatieri may be the most clutch player in NFL history.

8-Suppose New England's version of the SpyGate events is true -- that Belichick is a fine person who made an honest mistake about rules that seemed clearly written to everyone else but somehow were confusing to him and that he regrets his honest mistake. If this were so, wouldn't Belichick be attempting to convince the world he is a good guy by showing sportsmanship at every turn? Instead, he is raising his middle finger to the rest of the NFL, to the sporting media, even to the NFL fans who made his wealth and celebrity possible.

9-Colts At New England Patriots 2004 playoffs . In the AFC Championship game they were defeated 24-14 by the Pats. Manning throwing four interceptions in a game widely criticized for its minimal officiating (only seven penalties were called during the entire game, six of them were pre-snap fouls). Criticism of the game's officiating largely led to a reinterpretation of the "bump rule" beginning in the 2004 season (for a blatant non-call on the Patriots' Roman Phifer against Colts' TE Marcus Pollard on the Colts' final offensive drive), the change led to a large increase of defensive pass interference calls the following season.

10-Well why don’t teams just play harder D so that the Pats can’t run up the score? One of these weeks… Bellichick is going to look like a moron when his fourth quarter antics result in a pissed opposition injuring a Pats starter (a starter who, under any other coach, would be sitting out due to such a large lead 4th quarter lead).

11-BTW how come Bellichick and his cute antics weren’t successful when he was in Cleveland. To quote Chris Carter “Put him on a bad team and see how cute it is.”

12-Here’s another gem… The Patriots in the past have stolen play books from opposing teams. I don’t even mean from picking up a player in the off season who used kept old play books. I’m talking about going into the opposing teams locker room at Foxborough and STEALING them!

13-It would seem that Bellichick would shoot his own mother in the face for a ring. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to win, but for goodness sakes, stay within the rules of the game and be classy!

14-And I hate the argument that people hate them because they win so they find any excuse to knock them. What about Michael Jordan and the Bulls of the 1990’s? NEVER did you hear any funny business about the way they won rings. Jordan won 6 rings! Never were there any gripes from other players about Jordan or Phil Jackson lacking class. The played the game with class and they played honorably.

15-SpyGate. I’m outright puzzled by the argument that a video library of defensive signals in no way helped them in the past. If it was no help then why would they have gone through to trouble of doing it! Why would they have hired a camera man to video tape signals? “this won’t help us in at all but lets pay a salary to this guy for fun and have him tape stuff”

16-And wasn’t the punishment for those video tapes a little strange? They destroy the evidence? How do they know all that footage isn’t readily available on one of their coaches laptop or flash drive?
And lets think about it a little more… how about this for an analogy. If you told Steven Spielberg, right this instant, to write the script for E.T. without watching the movie, would he be able to do it? Of course he would, because as the director, he has seen it, and analyzed it many many times. I sincerely believe the same holds true for Bellichick and the footage he had. He’s already reaped the benefits he got from the footage. How would destroying it counteract that! How does destroying ensure that there’s no other backup. My first job 40 years ago, was at a small business and we used to back up all our documents. Are you telling me that a multi-million dollar franchise doesn’t do the same, especially in this age of technology that we are in!?
In conclusion I’d just like to say that I’m a huge Red Sox fan, I’ve lived in Boston for 53 years, and I was a Patriots fan back when Bledsoe was QB. But I just have to look away in disgust when I watch football now. I’m not the type of fan that roots for or against a team just because they play in my home town. I’m more of a fan of sportsmanship and fair play. Today’s Patriots lack BOTH. Sad time to be a Pats fan. Great time to be a Colts fan, regardless of outcome of this Sunday’s Colts/Pats game.
