Tom Brady is a fantastic QB. Great.
But this whole idea people have had over the years that he is a better postseason QB than Peyton Manning is a pure myth and totally untrue. And it has ALWAYS been untrue.
Both of them are about the same when it comes to the playoffs...just because Manning's teams haven't won as much as Tom's doesn't mean anything other than Tom has had better teams.

One of Manning's issues perception-wise is that he has made some negative plays in big games, even if you want to say that Brady has dinked and dunked his way to big moments. I agree that some of that has to do with the team around him, but while I agree that Tom has not done much since his great teams have left him, I think Manning has done things to hurt himself with the playoff perception.
