Manning, hands down. Brady needed help in 3 of his 4 SB wins with Vinateri and that interception. Brady lost twice to the NY Giants.

Don’t have a problem with sports rivalries, but the real game is on. And it doesn’t involve a Football.

The future of a nation hangs in the balance.

In the overall scheme of things, the Super Bowl don’t matter.

That being said: I’ll take Peyton.

It's always an interesting debate, but I've never been a fan of using Super Bowl rings as a metric for comparing quarterbacks. Sometimes a great QB just doesn't have enough players around him to win a championship.

I'll cite Dan Marino as a perfect example. If I have a roster of good-to-great players and I just need a starting quarterback to complete my team, I'd pick Marino over every other QB I've seen in my lifetime.

Joe Montana never lost a super-bowl. 4-0.

I like Manning and Brady and think it’s almost impossible to compare the two in terms of playoff and SB wins;

1. Brady became the starter on a SB quality team, that had played the Packers recently and made it back to the SB Brady’s first year as a starter (I think the first year). The Colts were a terrible team when Manning became the starter.

2. Brady has played for one coach his entire NFL career, arguably the best coach of this era. Manning played for three or four at Indy and two at Denver, none with a Hall of Fame pedigree.

3. The Patriots have had from good to great defenses during Brady’s years. The Colts were average to good most years, and the Broncos a pretty good defensively, and maybe a great one this year.

I don’t think there is any doubt that Brady has benefited from overall better teams, a far better coach and better defenses over his career than Manning, and also a far better organization.

Hey, any bets on a Bradley Manning versus Caitlin Jenner ball game?

Oh, this is about Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. NEVERMIND!

“If Manning gets to 2-2 all time in the Super Bowl, Tom Brady’s at 4-2, Manning’s got all the records now, do you have a potentially vigorous debate as to which is the best of all time?”

No, because Joe Montana is better than both of them. Easily.

Manning is good. Brady is better. Manning is someone people can see themselves liking. Brady is only likeable to his fans.

This season, Brady got his team to the AFC championship all by himself. He was the only consistent starter on the offense. Any other QB with the Pat’s O-Line would have been crushed.

We have to wait until they are all done before you can finish the argument.

Oh please. Manning has won one. ONE. He is renown for choking in "the big game" and frankly, Denver doesn't stand a chance against an emerging Carolina team in this game.

I'm not a Patriots nor Broncos fan but an NFL fan. Brady wins purely on the number of times he's been there and the number of times he has won. As a Packer fan, I wish Favre had won one more and I wish Rodgers could get back to the big dance. But, its clear, Manning places second to Brady if we are comparing the two.

Brady. Any other argument is just plain mental masturbation.
