Talk:Who's better, Peyton Manning or Tom Brady?/@comment-Jeeves-2006110810435

Just some alternate views. I&quot;m still not settled on who I would rather have, but it seems Peyton is taking a hosing, so I&quot;ll throw out some stuff in his defense.

Speaking of defense...Colts have a bad defense, yet with 10+ games each year. Pair Manning up with a defense that can stop the run and all of a sudden you&quot;ll have a different story. Since you want stats,and most people have been ignoring that request, I&quot;ll provide some. Yards allowed per game, Pats ranked 12th, Colts ranked 20th. Points given up per game, Pats ranked 5th, Colts ranked 20th.

Also people tend to say that Manning is surrounded by all this all-pro talent on offense. Outside of Marvin Harrison, you could argue that all those players benefitted from having Peyton as their QB. It&quot;s not as though Reggie Wayne set the world on fire when he was in college. His senior year, he had all of 755 yards, which ranked second on his team. What has Edge done since leaving for the desert? Besides get the most touches of any back in the league, bupkus. I think teams fearing Manning, played a role in him having a much higher YPC. (He&quot;s currently at 2.8 ypc for the year)

One thing I&quot;m surprised no one has brought up, is that Manning plays in a dome for half the year and BRady gets to play in Foxborough in the bitter cold. That just may have an affect on the stats, skewing them in Manning&quot;s favor.

Like I said, I haven&quot;t chosen sides yet, but I just thought I&quot;d throw some stuff out there.
