this is like 20 years ago when I was stuck in the Marino/Montana debates. Brady has had a less talented team throughout his career and his team has done better.

I am too lazy to look up the playoff numbers, but compare their post-season records. Brady, like Montana, is able to convince his teammates that, no matter what has happened earlier in the game, he WILL lead them to victory. The only way to quantify the quality of leadership is by victories in meaningful games.

[/QUOTE]

Not on the defensive side of the ball though. I am becoming more of a Brady fan every year but if Brady and Peyton would have switched teams I think the results would be the same.

But could Manning win 2 Super Bowls with the worst RBs and WRs in his division?

In the Super Bowl XXXVI and XXXVIII years nobody in his right mind would argue that the Jets, Dolphins and Bills didn't all have better players at those positions than the Pats.
