@jessejones14 True enough. But Brady drove the Pats into position to win those SBs then by your logic.

And dude, how can you compare he 08 Pats to the 11 Colts? 08 Pats were 16-0 the previous year, 11 Colts were 10-6 the previous year. The Colts were sliding down, the Pats were at their offensive peak.

@zgamer200 who got them in those positions watch that game manning made somesick throws against the 13-3 ravens with the best defense in football that year idont recall the panthers and rams having a good defense ? you say mannings d steped up that year what about when he was down 21-6 half time to the pats nd lead them back to the best come back in conference championship history ? brady goes down pats go11-5 manning goes down colts go 2-14 nuff said

@jessejones14

Manning's kicker in 2006 when he won the Super Bowl? Adam Vinatieri. How did Manning get OUT of the 1st-Round of the playoffs that year? A 15-9 win in which the D stepped up big time, and his kicker all but dragged him into the next round.

@zgamer200 when brady had those players he had a defense that could hold high powerd team to under 17 points thats why he was winning post season games and he had clutch kicker adam vinateri making a 45 and 48 yarder in superbowl 36 and 38 and when the patriots won in the tuck rule game he made another clutch kick in the blizzard and he has bellicheck, manning is the only player that is bigger than the franchise he played for he is way better than brady

[MrMack093]

why didnt the fagg beat peytons brother in his last SB?

[tonygrr4]

it takes a TEAM to win superbowls not just a QB. and brady has always had the much better teams and has arguably the greatest coach in nfl history belichek coaching him. manning went to superbowl with jim caldwell as his coach , and for the past decade has been runnung his own offense so its so its basicley the peyton manning system. now in new england its the belichek system and that system has proved it can work with diferent QBs like cassle. so f you ask me PEYTON IS BETTER.

[tonygrr4]

you CANT compare QBs by who has the most superbowls . dilfer won a superbowl so is he better then dan marnio hell no, rothlisberger won more superbowls then peyton so is he better the peyton NO. marinos only been to 1 superbowl and hes lost but hes probably the best QB of all time but does that make Eli better then him just cuz he won one HELL NO!!! so you cant go by that. peyton runs his own offense brady dont its the belichek system that makes them so good. PEYTON IS THE BETTER QB

@ChicagoFan32 And you're forgetting that in 07 the Pats were 16-0. I don't care who you put in there, they would've had some success with Randy Moss and Wes Welker.

And how has Brady had a better offensive players? Manning has had Wayne, Garcon, EdGerrin James, Marvin Harrison.

Brady had Brown, Patten, Branch until 07 when he got Moss, Welker, and didn't get Gronk and Hernandez til 2010. So I don't know where you're getting "Brady has a better offensive cast"

[zgamer200]

@ChicagoFan32 Maybe because the Colts didn't, plan AT ALL for Manning going down? You're talking about Cassel who has proven to be at least a decent QB, where as you're throwing Curtis Painter(how the hell is this guy a QB?), Dan Orvlovsky(QB'd the 0-16 Lions), and a well past his prime Kerry Collins.

The Pats built a team led by Brady, so if he went down they were ready for it. The Colts built solely around Manning, and it showed when Manning finally was out for a year.

[ChicagoFan32]

@AOric350z Brady has always had a better offensive cast around him. And I can't believe you would call Welker, Hernandez, and Gronk no names before Brady. Gronk is one of the best TE's ever and Hernandez and Welker are amazing. Like I said Brady has recieved so much help on the offensive end. Again what happend when Brady got injured? His team still won many games. Peyton goes down, his team goes to shit. That is due to the fact he doesn't have near the talent Brady has around himself.
