[QUOTE="msd, post: 1885457, member: 19974"] You know, to some extent, they defy comparison...they're on such different teams with different characters coached by completely different personalities. Both are great quarterbacks...but I don't think anyone in NE seriously thinks anything other than Brady is the best QB [I]for NE[/I]. On a group of guys that think team first and totally eschew individual standouts, Brady is just the kind of lunch-pail, go to work and get it done kind of QB that fits the team and Belichick's personality. He might not be the greatest physical or athletic specimen - he ain't Mike Vick - but he's as smart if not smarter than any other quarterback in the league and I think he consistently makes the best decisions and makes the fewest mistakes while getting the most out of a ([I]relatively[/I] speaking) underpowered receiving corps. Manning is a great quarterback...he might even be (and probably is ) a better quaterback than Brady according to popular measures. But, for NE, Brady's the best quarterback out there...bar none. It's like Tek for the Sox (Jason Varitek, Red Sox catcher). He's a good defensive catcher, but not a great one. He's a good (maybe a very good) hitter but not the best hitting catcher in the league. But he's the one guy that the Red Sox have committed to not losing under any circumstances...why? Because he is the heart and soul in the clubhouse and personifies that team...because he has no problem taking his glove on national television and sticking it up in the grill of baseball's darling, Alex Rodriguez, when A-Rod talks smack in Fenway. Manning will almost definitely wind up with more passing records than Brady. Will he be remembered as a better football player in the entire sense of the word - as a player, as a teammate, as a competitor, as someone who played hurt, as someone who lead their team to champion status? Dunno... [/QUOTE]
