Idk why people say Manning. Ok, he's got better stats in the regular season (barely), but Brady only trails him by less than 2 points in both regular season QB rating and completion percentage, and that's despite the FACT that Brady has played with far lesser talent around him on offense. The only time when Brady had great talent around him on offense, the kind that Manning has been blessed with for the majority of his career, he had the best season any QB has ever had.
In the postseason, Brady is CLEARLY the superior player.
Manning postseason numbers: 7-8 record, 22 TDs, 17 INTs, 61.7 comp%, 85 rating
Brady postseason numbers: 14-3 record, 26 TDs, 12 INTs, 62.5 comp%, 88 rating
Brady > Manning EASY.

The Pats ran up the score in obvious run-out-the-clock situations whereas Manning let his running game finish up games and even sat out for most of his last game.

He also threw for 2 less interceptions and a higher completion percentage in his 2007 season than Manning in 2004, despite the 100 more attempts. Lets also not forget that he led his Pats to a 16-0 regular season record. Brady had the best regular season any QB has ever had when FINALLY got a legit number 1 receiver in Randy Moss.
