So, first, you can post whatever you like, but others can create new arguments. The new argument I am introducing is that the same numbers YOU cite say Manning has UNDERperformed expected wins in the playoffs, while Brady has OUTperformed expected wins.

You havent' responded, presumably because you can't.


As to your question, I think some of Brady's teams have been better than anything Manning had. Specifically, 2004 and 2007. OTOH, I think some years Manning had better teams than, for example, the 2001 SB winning Patriots. That team's roster was a joke.

But bottom line -- like the article YOU cite says, my eyes have told me that Brady gets as much or MORE out of every team than can reasonably be had (exception of 2007 SB, when the Giants DLine dominating the offense), while Manning, well, doesn't.
