Tom Brady vs. Peyton Manning

**Eli** · 11-24-2013, 09:26 AM

Peyton faces Tom tonight at 5:30 PST. This may be the best pro sports rivalry of this era. Brady and Manning have been watched, dissected, analyzed and debated more than any other rivalry of its time. Since 2001, one simple question could have sparked a heated discussion on any day, any time of the year and anywhere in America: "Who would you rather have: Peyton or Tom?"

Brady has won three Super Bowls and been to five. During his impressive career he has thrown over 47,000 yards and 348 touchdowns. Manning is certainly not overshadowed by Tom, he has won one Super Bowl and been to two. Although he hasn't won as many Super Bowls he has far surpassed Tom in yards and touchdowns. Peyton has thrown over 63,000 yards and 470 touchdowns. Their statistics lead to the ongoing debate who is the better quarterback?

While their careers started out on different ends of the spectrum, they are more alike then we might think.

Manning has a 65.4% pass completion success rate and Brady has a 63.4% success rate.
Manning has a 5.7 career touchdown percentage and Brady 5.5 percent.

Manning threw to a potential Hall of Fame receiver, Marvin Harrison for Harrison's entire career and to potential Hall of Famer, Reggie Wayne for most of his career. Did these two potential Hall of Famers increase Peyton's success or did Peyton make them look even better?

Brady has an impressive playoff record 17-7. Since the start of the 2007 season, Brady's interception percentage is 1.6. This means that if Brady throws 30 passes per game, he will only throw one interception every other game. Does Brady play with a better team or does Brady make his team better?

It's certainly no debate that these two quarterbacks are very talented, dedicated and revered by their peers as well as their fans.

This should be an exciting game to watch!

Peyton only has one SB win and a poor playoff record ..... his brother has 2 rings. Stats are over rated, its SB wins that measure a QB and I'll take Brady with three!!
