This is considering Brady's knee, not knowing how that will effect him in later seasons.
Before Brady's injury, I'd go Brady - though they really are almost identical when it comes to leadership qualities and the ability to almost will their teams to win - I take Brady because he's got one more ring.

But I think the big distinction is that Brady has been phenomenal throwing to receivers like Deion Branch, and even one season throwing to Reche Caldwell and Jabar Gaffney who I believe are now mopping floors at a 7-11. Brady's also continued to win games even though his offense has progressively gotten worse--arguably, when the Pats almost pulled off a win against Indy a few years ago, the Pats had a slightly above average defense at best.
I like Big Ben too. But I think he is clearly a product of the team he is on. For as good as he is, he makes a ton of mistakes and throws a lot more INTs than the average QB, and doesn't make up for it with a ton of TDs. I still believe that Brady could take any team to the Super Bowl, but Ben wouldn't without a top 5 defense. Just my opinion.
