Well, those are individual awards, but his team helped him for sure. A win is not an individual award and is determined much more by the teams play as a whole.

Line had to block. Receivers had to catch. Had some pretty damn good offensive weapons around him over the years. His teams were better than some give credit. Had some good defenses at times. Probably more so than Brady.

Mannings completion % in the Super Bowl is better than every one of those QBs

They don't put completion % on the scoreboard though.

So? He still didn't score enough pt's to win. Completion percentage don't mean shite if you're just dinking and dunking while never really moving the ball downfield and scoring. How many points does a team get for their QB's completion percentage?

Exactly. The TEAM has to score.

Correction...best regular season for a QB. The "BEST" seasons always end with Super Bowl wins.

QB stats- Super Bowl wins/appearances>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>regular season stats.

We're not saying Peyton sucks. Just that he is far from being the best ever. In fact, he's not even the best QB of his era. Being a team sport and all, TEAM records>>>>>>>INDIVIDUAL records.

For a team, team records are more important. For an individual, individual records are more important.

He's is definitely top 3 and arguably the best ever. Brady's SB teams had at worst the second best defenses in the NFL.

You can't judge a QB on Super Bowl wins. It's a team game. Bradshaw was a mediocre QB and won a few.

Because he won a few. Just like Troy Aikman. Average QBs on great teams get into the Hall of Fame. Elite QBs on shitty teams get critiqued by everyone before eventually getting into the HOF.

I would argue that Brady has never had the weapons that Peyton had during his career.

Peyton had Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, Dallas Clark, Edgerin James etc

Brady has never had a group like that on his team.
