Did I say Brady was picking off passes? Nope. All i said was NE made Manning look like an average QB, and Brady managed to get the job done. As much as i hate Marcia i would take him over manning in a heart beat. Manning (like marino) puts up some ridiculous stats but can't git er done in the playoffs. Sure you can put some blame on the coaching staff for being out coached by BB, but remember Peyton is so smart because he calls his own plays, and he should have changed what he was running. Peyton Manning has all the measurables when it comes to being a QB but none of the leadership and the ability to perform in the clutch like Marcia.
Leadership - He absolutely threw his o-line under a bus last year after he was bounced yet again from the playoffs, which is pretty classy, especially when he was rarely touched all season long because of their stellar play. I only wish they had had another game so his o-line could have really sent him a message about what is considered pass protection.
Clutch - Well 0 for his college career vs. Florida, and any NFL game in January you can pretty much chalk up a loss for Peyton's boys.
