Manning is light years the best qb of his era.
It's not even close.
A lot of people mention Brady because he won 3 Super Bowls ... but he won them with defenses ranked #1, #2, and #6 in the NFL in points against... while his offensive units ranked #4, #6, and #12 in points scored.
The defense was the Pats superior side of the ball in all 3 SB winning seasons.
Brady was just an excellent qb who, for a long time, had a great defensive machine to help him out.
The only overpowering offenseive team Brady ever played on was the '07 one when Moss was added. That team set the NFL scoring record ... but got David Tyree'd in the Super Bowl.
if Manning had Brady's defenses ... he'd have been unstoppable.
