The big ongoing debate in the NFL is which quarterback is better, Peyton Manning or Tom Brady. I sense that most people support Brady because of the dumbest line in sports: "He has three rings."
No doubt, Brady is a great quarterback. He's also a cog in the best-oiled wheel in the NFL (apologies to Pittsburgh.) Manning is the closest thing to a one-man show.
Brady missed a whole season and his team went 11-5 with a backup who'd never started a game in the pros or college.
When the Indy brass announced that Manning would miss the opening game of the 2011 season, the line went from Colts -1 to Colts +8. His backup was a guy with 40,000 passing yards, 206 TDs and a Super Bowl appearance. The Colts were throttled.
This has never been a contest in my mind. Tom Brady looks great wrapped in the fur coat of New England Patriots football. Manning looks just as good in a dirty rag.
Don't take my word for it. The oddsmakers in Vegas say it's Manning by a touchdown.
