Both are good options.

I know, but it's of dire importance we know the answer to this insignificant question. I've been beat to death with it for two days. So we may as well know.

You can't really go wrong.

Manning is more valuable to his team. Actually, much more valuable. The Patriots won 11 games last year with shitty Matt Cassel. Whenever Manning isn't operating the Colts offense, Indy is almost non-functional.

I just heard Manning audible using the word "Carolina". I've read playbooks littered with city names - I've never seen or heard that before. Interesting.

I don't know if Brady wouldn't be as good calling his own plays or in such an open offense. The backup argument is good, though I'm sure the Colts wouldn't try to do this stuff with another QB and would still be pretty successful. I also don't think Manning needs that to be successful. His best year came with a running game.

One thing giving me pause from the obvious answer is that Manning skidded into the end of last year and won a completely undeserved MVP trophy. And how good Brady was before he got hurt.

Holy god. NE went for it on 4th and 2 from their own 28 when they are up by 6 with 2 minutes left

Their dicks are huge

[magnus]

didn't work out that well for them.

Plus, if they run on that prior 3rd down before the FG, the Colts have :40 less.

[rake]

seeing the end of the game I voted accordingly . .. Manning is badass

[Wise One]

Either would be great. Both will be Hall of Famers but I think Manning would be my choice unless Brady's wife ( are they married ?) came with the deal.

[meatpile]

Where's the choice for Matt Moore?

[Powerbait]

Brees.

[y2b]

it is not even close... If Manning had the Pats defense on the same team, they might have had back-to-back-to-back undefeated seasons

get the fuck out

[Parker]

Manning, Brees and then Brady.

Just imagine what Brady would have done with Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne and Branndon Stokely for the 1st 6 years of his career. Slight talent advantage there for Manning, to say the least.

On the other hand, before recently aquiring, Moss, Brady has won 3 SB's and made a career out of turning below average receivers into free agent stars that fade back to nothing when they leave NE.

Manning, he is the only QB in the league who could let you get by without an offensive coordinator....

Brady is awesome but his rings have a lot to do with the coach and other talent on his team and some luck too. Do not forget the tuck rule or Kasay's kickoff out of bounds....

[chipshot]

Small edge to Manning to me.

Brees is great right now, but I wouldn't put him near these guys in the big picture yet.

Like Manning, Brady is the offensive coordinator in NE. You think Weis, O'Brien and Mcdaniel were making him look good or the other way around? lol.

Brees isn't in the debate. No way. He's the top of the next tier and that level isn't close to Manning and Brady.

We are spoiled to be watching two of the best ever play against each other in their prime. They are both in the top 5 all time already and will likely end up being debated 1 & 2 all time when they are done.

Between the 2 they will own every meaningful passing record and at least one more SB ring each.

[Black&Blue]

Super Bowl victories shouldn't even be in the criteria. Manning is better, but they are both special.
