ESPN Thinks Peyton Manning Is Better At Everything Than Tom Brady Except Winning Big Games
So ESPN had what they called the Ultimate Brady vs. Manning comparison today where their crack team of football morons compared the two in everything from who throws a better deep ball, to who is smarter, to who history will remember as the better QB, to who is a better leader, etc. Not surprisingly Peyton went 11-4 against Brady After all we are talking about ESPN here so I’d expect nothing less. But the thing I got a kick out of was one question in particular. Who would you rather have be your QB if you needed to win 1 playoff game. Not only was that one of the few categories that Brady won, but he won it almost unanimously. And really isn’t that the only thing that matters? It doesn’t matter whether you think Manning is smarter, more durable, uglier etc. Who do you want to win the big game? That’s it. Doesn’t that pretty much sum up everything you need to know about these two guys? Brady is the guy you want leading your team when you need to win. Manning is the guy you want leading your team at the Pro Bowl and durin the regular season. Brady raises his level of play during big games and Peyton stays the same. That’s why Brady has 3 rings and Peyton has 1. That’s good enough for me. If that means Dan Marino was better than Joe Montana and Peyton Manning is better than Tom Brady than so be it.
PS – Just in case anybody wants to invalidate this entire article with one sentence here it is.
“Manning is the most mobile quarterback in the NFL.”
Yes they really said that.
first
^fag
Always good to see Herm Edwards is still making strong decisions.
they mean he is the most mobile qb in the pocket you moron. (he has never gotten hurt because he A) gets the ball out quick and B) MOVES AROUND IN THE POCKET. quarterbacks aren’t supposed to run like mike vick.
Manning is a pussy QB for pussy fantasy football pussies.
go ahead and get a million yards and a thousand tds, we’ll take the trophy.
I will take trophy’s over stats all day.
manning doesn’t have belichick
Who makes better credit card commercials? Manning.
Who has sex with a hotter women every night? Brady.
first the only one of those “analysts” that knows anything is Edwards and Allen a little. Like tim hasselback cool u had a short backup role in the nfl and ur more know for having a semi successful brother qb. but the thing that really pissed me off was they thought manning was a better leader. that is a disgrace. he has publicly blamed his ol after playoff losses. hes bitched about his kicker. no has has and demands more respect from his teammates than brady.
Why are you watching ESPN with the sound on?
getting the ball out quickly has zero to do with mobility. two different things. Marino got the ball out quickly. He had good pocket precense. He wasn’t mobile
Hell, by these standards Vick is the most immobile QB ever. It took him 7-8 seconds to get a pass off the other night.
One cheap hit puts Brady down for a season and they unanimously name Manning the more durable Quarterback?
And I’m calling bullshit on the ‘Who would you want to lead a last-minute drive?’
great bill belichick quote:
stats are for losers. the final score is for winners.
final score higher winning percentage more super bowls
You beat me to the punch with correcting the manning is mobile post. Mullatodude – That was seriously top (bottom?) five posts ever.
!Describe what Marcellus Wiley looks like!
Clark, Wayne, Harrison, Saturday - all will be HOF’s that played with Manning on O
Brady - maybe Light, maybe Welker if he has another 3-4 productive seasons I think thats about it for the offensive side of the ball.
Why didn’t anyone mention that
Same with Elway.
Doesn’t fit their argument B4Pres…You know the drill.
ESPN is full of retards.
how is this news to everyone?
manning would win more big games if bill was his head coach. i hate the nerdy fuck, i’m just saying.
i didnt mean getting the ball out quick has to do with mobility. i was saying he moves around in the pocket better than any qb in the league.
detox,
explain manning being 0-4 vs. florida at TN. And then TN winning National title and beating florida year he graduates.
Look, we ALL know Brady is better than Manning in the “when it counts” department, and we ALL know those blowhard stuffed-shirts at ESPN like nothing more than to dick-stroke the likes of Manning, Favre, etc. Can we just move past this horseshit and talk about what really matters? !! Pics of Princess Kate Please !!
im pretty sure there is an awful lot of dick-stroking done to brady by guys on espn and every other sports network. whats with you boston sports fans having a constant chip on your shoulder over stupid shit. get over it.
The bottom line this is an absolute joke and it’s not even worth discussing or losing sleep over. The only thing Manning is better at is calling audibles and making his te’s and backs run sprints back and forth before he snaps the ball.

This has been a Public Service Announcement.
there is a difference between a mobile and a scrambling qb like steve young was mobile tony romo is mobile they can run in the backfield and make people miss then throw the ball. a scrambler is a qb whose first instinct is to run instead of throw when the pocket breaks. manning is neither
ep, manning made tenn so nasty and relevant it was easy for them to recruit the best of the best. after 4 years of being on tv and all that came along with manning, their talent was stacked at every position by the time he left.
and as we know a stacked college team just needs a good manager at the qb position.
Us against the world. Wouldn’t have it any other way.

Manning is the better QB. There isn’t even an argument to state otherwise. Also, the Colts are 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between the Colts and Pats. All you ever see from Brady is him stomping around like a little bitch whining about how there should have been a roughing the passer, low tackle, high tackle, etc etc penalty on every fucking play. It’s a contact sport, grow some fuckin nuts Brady, learn to take a hit and maybe then Giselle will let you sit in the front seat you little bitch.
Espn strokes Brady’s dick?? are you kidding mullatotude? the commentators are always jumping on mannings jock about how he may be the best qb of all time…bullshit bullshit bullshit
The biggest bullshit answer on this thing is the team leader one, it’s as if they wrote the paragraph for Brady but accidentally put Mannings head and name on it, literally sounds like the Patriots from 2001-2006. Also I’d rather havea quarterback that doesnt throw his offensive lineman under the bus publicly, fuckin retarded hick!

manning is going to end up being the best qb of all time. stats dont lie. ask dan marino. there’s a lot of people that would have said before peyton that marino was the best qb ever and the guy never won a super bowl.
mulattodude, that little hopping motion Manning does in the pocket does not constitute mobility. Theres no better qb at steping up in the pocket when i starts to collapse than Brady. And as far as stroking Brady from ESPN???? What ESPN you watching?? ESPN undersells Brady more than any channel, this comparison is the latest example.
ESPN undersells brady, NESN oversells him, somewhere in the middle there lies the truth.

seriously, are you retarded? Montana is the best ever, not fucking Dan Marino…idiot
Beat me to it RP. To me its simple. Do you want the greatest statistical QBs of all time (Manning.Marino) or the greatest winning QBs of all time (Montana, Brady) on your team?
Winning a Title is about alot more than just the quarterback. The Colts never had a defense like the Pats did when they won the Super Bowl. When Brady’s Offense had to drive the team and was far and away better than the defense, they lost in the Super bowl. Mobility doesn’t mean scrambling. I’m not saying that he’s the most mobile however he does a better job than anyone at sliding in the pocket and always keeping a strong base to make a throw.
I am a male, and I would volunteer to let Brady impregnate me. That’s how awesome he is, plain and simple. Anyone who doesn’t buy into that basic fact can go take a flying fuck at a rolling donut. End of story. Arguements to the contrary are simply not legitimate.

couldn’t have said it better Dooba, If everyone wants to use stats why isn’t Favre ever considered the greatest of all time, he has every fucking record.
You want your QB to be a leader, a field general. To be consistent, not turn the ball over, perform his greatest under the clutch and in the biggest games. You want your QB to be the first in the weight room and the last out of the film room and the most important trait is you want your QB to not give a fuck about anything else besides winning super bowls, if that means going 4-5 with 30 yards and winning than so be it.
And that is why I will take Brady, like Belichick said-” Stats are for losers, final score is for winners” Brady 3, Manning 1
[...] Manning vs. Tom Brady [Barstool Sports] Colts vs. Patriots and other great conference rivalries [The Big Lead] Greg Oden has made $50k for [...]
i love how anyone on the planet thinks brady is better than manning….the pats went 11-5 without brady in 2008….they won 11 fucking games with a qb who had not started a game since high school
take manning off any of the last 7 colt teams and replace him with matt cassell and instead of winning 12 games (WHICH THEY HAVE DONE SEVEN FUCKING TIMES IN A ROW), and they won 5
brady has the best coach of all time and manning had tony dungy master of getting outcoached in big games and jim caldwell who only has a head coaching job because hes black
o and by the fucking way, the biggest game brady ever played in…..he fucking lost
manning
they contradict themselves between each question and answer. talking about asking the worst analysts to do this. eric allen? seriously? he started one game against brady in the 2002 playoffs? retarded. tim hasselback? the not quite athletic brother. and herm edwards couldnt get a coaching job if his life depended on it
all of you need to look at this, http://www.patspulpit.com/2010/10/30/1783816/the-unfinished-story-of-why-tom-brady-is-better-than-peyton-manning . For real, some great points and full of the stats.
All of the great quarterbacks besides Brady, past and present, have played in better climates or inside no wind/airconditioned domes. Brady constantly has played in the elements of cold weather, let alone Blizzards, and still has the impressive numbers he has/disgusting amount of superbowl trophies.
brady is better than all but bart starr, brett favre, john elway, terry bradshaw johnny unitas all consistently played in bad weather….as do rothisberger and rodgers now
The press was ball washing Manning on the daily BEFORE he even got a ring, simply due to his ‘aw shucks’ dubya-esque persona.
Now that the yokel has finally managed to win something the media dick riding will continue indefinitely, no matter how many more rings Brady wins and Manning doesn’t.
Edwards voted for manning on everything except who is more mobile and who has better mechanics.
Fucking douche.
Manning has shit himself one too many times in the playoffs to be considered over Brady. Throwing that flaming pick six last year sealed his playoff pants pooping rep for me. The 2006 title was because the Defense woke up for 4 games.
Look at Brady’s playoff games. Even his most infamous game (vs Giants) he walked off with the lead. Last year was the worse lost in his career in the playoffs. Manning has several of those.

That team went 16-0 with Brady.
yeah and the colt team that went 14-0 last year would have went 2-12 with matt cassel playing qb
