Ok, now that the younger Manning has his second ring and second MVP award, can he be compared to his older brother? And lets throw Brady in the mix, how does he compare too the Manning brothers?
Here is my opinion.
Eli comes in at #3, but damned close to #2 Brady. Eli has had a decent team around him for most of his career. When the Giants got hot, and with the benefit of a few amazing catches, Eli is good enough to win you a Superbowl. Not knocking him, he is a top 5 quarterback, but he does need somke help. He is not a god.
Brady comes in at #2. Yeah I know he has all those rings, and I put a big value on getting those rings, so thats what I put him at #2. Brady has benefited from having the best "team" around him in NFL history. He has been blessed with having huge talent around him, and he is a winner. combine those 2, and you get a bunch of rings.
Peyton Manning comes in at #1. Why, because compared to the Giants and the Pats, his teams "sucked" for most of his career. He made the colts into the 2nd best team of the decade, and he had little help. You can not compare the patriot team or even the giants team to what Peyton had to play with. The Colt teams were terrible
Put Peyton on the Giants, and the Giants are better.
Put Peyton on the Pats, and the Pats are better.
