Let me ask you this... what would Peyton have to do over the rest of his career to make you say he was better than Brady? What would it take?

This is a tough question. Let me say that I think that our dispute here is not over how we rate Manning; I think our dispute is that I rate Brady higher than most of you all. I think we're all pretty much in somewhat agreement on Manning.

Its hard for me to answer because I view Brady so highly. It would be like if someone asked me "What does Kobe Bryant have to do to make you think that hes better than Jordan?" I mean sure Bryant could end up better with a great second half of his career, but its just hard to say that someone is outright better than Jordan.

Obviously winning another SB would go a long way. I'd also like to see what he does with below average surrounding talent. For example, my opinion of Montana went up a ton after I saw him in Kansas City.

Its hard to give an outright answer to that question really. Sorry.

But your answer is very telling, in that you value Brady extremely highly, as if he is the Michael Jordan of football, and you wonder if there's anything Manning could do to overtake him in your mind.

I would think if Manning wins 2 more SBs and Brady zero, giving them each three, that any rational fan would rank Manning ahead of Brady. Doesn't sound like you would.

If Manning won 2 more SBs and Brady never played in another theres a good chance that I'd put Manning over Brady, but obviously theres a few other factors.

To carry out the analogy, if Kobe Bryant wins 3 more titles I might say hes as good as MJ.
