lets not forget the HOF Caliber Defense Brady always had to back him up for all those rings...
let alone the stellar offense that was #1 in the history of the NFL, yet he still couldn't win a championship with them, and even with 81 more attempts at passing, he could only beat mannings TD record by 1, and that was while he was throwing deep balls to Moss in week 17, Manning was sitting on the bench in week 15.
the whole, Brady made those receivers thing is trash anyway, The Patriot offense in those days was based on screens, strong running game, great TE play, AVERAGE receivers, and a NASTY, a fucking BUCK NASTY Defense.
People try to say that Manning had receivers and Brady did, but look what happens when Indianapolis Receivers and Tight Ends leave Indianapolis.... they fucking dissapear. Marcus Pollard was an absolute animal in Indianapolis, what happened when he left? Brandon Stokley was an absolute animal while he was in Indianapolis, what happened when he left? the list goes on of guys that left Indianapolis and turned to shit.
look at the biggest name, Edgerrin James, in his last year with Indianapolis he rushed for 1,500 yards. when he left what happened? the guy started to blow. he hasn't averaged over 4 ypc since he left Indianapolis.
Brady never played in a championship with BAD receivers, no, they weren't great, but they were simply put, average, very, very average. the Patriots constantly had an average offense, but strong defensive play, especially in the playoffs, which secured their rings.
Manning won a championship with the worst Rush defense in the history of the NFL.
Brady threw the ball in the 18-1 season 81 more times then Manning did in his record breaking year, yet still only beat him by TD passes with 1 touchdown, let alone a much higher caliber offense, with guys that could kill you in so many ways, and even then, his Passer Rating still wasn't as high as Manning's, as Manning holds the record for the highest passer rating in a single season.
shit, Imagine if Peyton threw 81 more passes and had a defense like Brady's in the start of his career, this wouldn't even be a question.
