Now that Tom Brady is in the stage of his career (that I courageously predicted years ago) where he holds the Patriots ownership, coaching staff, players and fans hostage in a pathetic attempt to hang on to the fleeting glory he craves, it's time that we have a serious discussion.
A discussion where we shut the mouths of the Brady lemmings in one humiliating statement of fact. It's time to quiet the reactionary bullshit rhetorical questions asking if Tom Brady is the greatest ever.
Why Peyton Manning is greater than Tom Brady.
1.) Every individual record a quarterback could possibly have? They all go to Peyton Manning and it's not even close. Single season touchdown record? Manning. Single season passing yards? Manning. Career passing touchdowns? Manning. Career passing yards? Manning. Career wins? Manning. Career MVPs? Manning has five. (Oh, and by the way, Manning managed to set all these records without even reaching the Top 5 in career INTs. Wow!)
2.) Manning 3-1 against Brady in the AFC Championship Game. Brady’s only playoff wins against Manning came in the early stages of his career, when he was little more than a game manager and relied on elite defenses to win.
3.) Tom Brady has multiple cheating scandals. Peyton Manning never cheated. (For more see the Outside the Lines report for just how extensively the Patriots cheat.)
4.) Brady spent his whole career playing for the same coach and the same organization with elite defenses and offensive weapons. Meanwhile, Manning played for five different head coaches and went to the Super Bowl with four of them. He had to learn three different offensive systems in his career. But throughout all of that, he still managed all of his MVPs, championships and statistical dominance.
Runner Up: Tom Brady marries supermodels, experiments with homosexual hairstyles, and poses in magazine.
tl;dr Peyton Manning never had Brady’s stability or support system. Even without those advantages, his statistics dominate Brady’s and completely changed the NFL. (And he did it without cheating.)
