Now that Tom Brady has dispensed with any Brady vs. Manning discussion, it's time for Manning to take on one of his true peers. The two have very similar QB ratings this year in the mid 80's. So who's better? Harrington had a disadvantage of being thrown into the fire early on after the Vick fiasco but has been much better than Manning in recent weeks, so I'll give Joey Harrington the nod. We'll see tomorrow night, BIG GAME for MY Falcons!!!!!!!!!

Manning is an All Pro Super Bowl winning quarterback that has set many NFL records who also plays for a very good Colts team. Harrington has never even come close to reaching that level and now plays on a poor team twith a bad offensive line and receivers that can't catch the ball either. I root for the Falcons too and hope they win every game they play but being realistic about it, they aren't very good this year. Harrington has a long ways to go and he's still not even considered the Falcons starter yet.

The obvious choice would be Manning. I like Manning, but sometimes I wonder about him. For all of his great accomplishments he has always had great offense players around him. I have seen Manning, so many times get rattled by good defenses and he fails to produce against those great defenses. Congrats to Manning last year he finally won the Superbowl. If you watch that game against Chicago the defense and running game won it and carried his weight. Manning got MVP because he is the big name and no one else really stood exceptionally out. Against the Ravens in the Playoffs the defense and kicker came through with 5 field goals to win. If Harrington had the type of players around him for his career like Manning would Harrington produce similar numbers and be considered a future hall of fame player? I say yes. If Manning didn't have 10 other guys who took the field with him every week able to make the pro bowl themselves would he be considered so great? He hasn't done much since Harrison got hurt, so I'm thinking maybe not.

Manning is a far superior QB. He is a seasoned, proven commodity. He is a get ur done guy. Manning over Harrington hands down.

Rushvill took the words out of my mouth. Who exactly do you root for? Do you choose out of a hat from week to week? What happens if you select the Colts? Do you throw it back in the hat and select a new team so you don't have to retract all of your previous statements? I'm interested in how this works.

Is this even a question? Harrington lost his job to Cleo Lemon in Miami last year!

Manning is human, but Brady is having an inhuman year. Bangwagon hoppers are PATHETIC.

Not even close & to all Manning haters, he doesn't suck. Why does he suck & don't say because you hate him or the Colts. Give a real answer. Look at his stats, that's all you need to check out.
