Manning's a great QB, really????? OMG why didn't anyone ever tell me this before. This should be on every sportscenter broadcast for the next month.

Seriously though did you really need to post this?

BTW I was thinking about how you keep saying that Brady always had a great defense and it got me thinking. Since Brady is willing to take less money then Manning and since his wr's cost a lot less then Mannings wr's would it be correct to say that Brady is one of the reasons the team was able to afford better defensive players then Colts? I guess you can't use the excuss the Pats have had the better defense if one of the reasons is because of the QB.

I completely agree underdogg and it's completely different view from the front office and we're starting to see that on the Pats side as the offense has cost us talent on defense. I just mentioned it since you keep refencing it towards one of the reasons for Brady's success, when I believe the reason for the Pats D being better is that less talented offensive players allowed for the better defense.

Personally I'd actually like to see what Manning would do with a better D and a weaker wr core. The problem is we might never know how he would react without a pro-bowl caliber wr (Wayne is just to good before and during his Colts career to say Manning made him) and Clark (who I truely believe should have been to a number of pro-bowls and might even be HoF worthy). If he could pull off what Brady did with lesser wr's then they might go down as 1A and 1B greatest ever, but without knowing how he would preform without that all pro offense leaves that question to ask.

Personally I think Polian is an idiot. The colts have a good enough fan base that they deserve a better more well rounded team to go after the rings every year not just to gain some business with a high flying offense.

You right how can we ever compare the 2. Btw Brady had the worse of the wr core over the years. I'd say they are very comparible for everything but post season stats which Brady wins hands down.
