true but when your defense is not on the field and you have one drive to win the big game and you do so with a nice drive and leadership than you are proven not putting anything against manning he is who I stated as number one but ben is next in line....not going against your statement you are right but just adding to it
I feel you

Big Ben does come through in the clutch... which is one of the main reasons I rate him as a top 5 QB

but if there's one QB in the NFL I want on my team when we need a TD to win with less than 2 minutes on the clock... it's Peyton Manning, hands down

Manning always had the big name receivers to help him out, the one year Brady had a big name receiver where he was healthy, he broke Manning's TD Record.

They're both great at calling the blitz and changing the audibles, but Manning is better then Brady here.

I'd take Brady over Manning tho. They're both among the top 5 QB's of all time in my opinion, but I would take Brady because in a big game with 1 minute left down by 4 with 80 yards to drive.. I rather have Brady behind center then Manning.

Brady doesn't make his receivers better? Imagine if Moss was in Oakland!
I never said he didn't. But his receivers deserved a lot more credit than they received. Everybody likes to say Brady was working with scrubs, but that's a bunch of bullshit. They got open and were able to catch. That's all you need in a receiver as a QB.

Who's to say Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne would be as good as they are/were if they didn't have Manning throwing to them? We know Moss was already a great receiver. He was better in Minnesota than he is in New England.

And lets not forget that the year Brady broke Manning's TD record he played every single game and his coach allowed him to run up the score long after the game was put away. When Peyton Manning got 49 TDs he did it in less playing time and they weren't sucker-punching opponents in the 4th quarter when the game was already in the bag by halftime. He was taken out of games and played very little in the last few games that year while Brady was still throwing TDs in the 4th quarter with a 28-point lead. Or did we forget that already?

this is where I disagree... I'll take Peyton in that situation off top
