Who cares they could all get the job done. Sometimes you get it done sometimes you throw a pick. Kind of fluky. They are all solid qbs. 1 mistake my manning. Id take him in that spot again. Big ben, brady, rivers they would all work

How can you take manning again after the guy threw a PICK 6?

Manning has failed on more big game drives than he has made.  It's a fact!

Big Ben has made more big plays in big games than he has missed, and he's got 2 rings to prove that fact.

I am not Brady fan but it isn't because he hasn't proved himself. This is a no brainer Brady has done it so many times in playoff games, it makes me ill.lol How quickly you all forget. he never got the chance in the last Superbowl, they lacked time but he got oh so close to hitting Moss with 20 seconds left behind double coverage.

LOL, As long as his number one reciever isn't covered of course. QB 101 don't lock onto your reciever, Cb's in the NFL will jump the route, this isn't high school.

I would like to see how the answers would change if a gun were to your head.

Every week is different.Two weeks ago Favre lit up the Saints and Brees had a lousy game.Does that mean Favre is better than Manning ?Did it mean that Brees is no good?No QB throws for 300+yards, 3 TDs and 0 ints every week.I have to agree with Osirus, all good QBs have a shot at a winning drive,but not EVERY WEEK.Most gamblers and fans are too critical,one bad play or one bad game and it's like the end of the world.Being a life long Red Sox fan I learned one thing many years ago,THERE IS ALWAYS NEXT YEAR.

What about what he did vs the Texans (twice), against Jacksonville, New England, Miami, and then in the playoffs vs Baltimore and the Jets? Then how about against New England in the AFC Championship where Tom Brady choked?

FACT is that Brady has only 1-2 drives were he brought his team back from being down (against SD in the playoffs and against Baltimore during their perfect season). During the 2 superbowl drives vs St Louis and Carolina, he drove them during a tie game into FG range. When the game is tied their is much much much less pressure on you then when you're down. When bitch boy Brady down on several occasions this year, he choked (against Miami and Baltimore in the playoffs). Fact ever since Spygate was revealed, Brady has folded like a tent.

heeeeeee are you saying that in Tom Bradys 100+ victorys that he has only had 1 or 2 comebacks??That's a joke.Why do you defend Manning by dumping on Brady?They are both great QBs.The Patriots went 18-0 then lost in the Super Bowl to the Giants the year spygate came out.It came out after the FIRST game of the season

Big Ben has the ability to give himself a little bit more time under pressure. But I'll take Peyton Manning or Tom Brady.

in the SUPER BOWL....it would have to be Big Ben ....or Brady....Brees also acceptable it appears
 
in the REGULAR season....it's Manning EASY....Rivers not bad also.....

It is better to be feared - than to be loved.

I'll say Big Ben, that game winning drive against Green Bay this season was legend, but that game winning drive in last years Super Bowl was legendary.

i would take Manning, wouldn't even be a consideration..... after that, it's between Elway, Marino or Montana...... all had different qualities that made them excel in those situations, and if i'm not mistaken, they were 1, 2 and 3 in all-time 4th quarter comeback wins at one point... (Favre is of course up there now)

without knowing anything about the rest of the situation (O-line, offensive talent, the opposing defense), the best QB you can have is Manning, because he is the one that gives you the best chance to win in every situation..... in a specific situation, Montana or Elway might be the right answer...... but in all situations, it's Manning..... nobody has ever come to close to his ability to read and break down a defense..... Marino was the best before Manning, but Manning completely redefined what it means to read a defense.....

Eli Manning

Only QB to ever lead a TD drive in the last 2 minutes when a FG would not tie or win the championship game

the idea that a QB is good or bad in the playoffs is a media-driven myth, for the most part..... just an argument people make when they can't really comprehend the team aspects of the game...... it's kind of funny, because receivers drop balls all the time, and yet almost no WR is ever crucified for one drop...... but QBs are always crucified over one bad throw..... and that bad throw frequently had more to do with protection or bad rout running or miscommunication.....

people are funny
