Here is what I posted in the NE Pats thread:

After last year's SB everyone has jumped over to the "Manning is the best player in the game" side. But I think that Brady will reclaim that crown this year. People tremendously underrate how much having WRs like Wayne and especially Harrison make Manning look better. Brady will have that luxury for the first time this year.

Uh yeah, because the quality of a team's defense obviously has nothing to do with what kind of stats the offensive players is able to rack up. And plz with the WR's.
Wide receivers are overrated. What about the O-line? Of course you guys have to highlight the one area where Manning has had better support and you conveniently forget about the rest of the team. Brady is just an average QB that's been surfing on superior support.
Manning >>>>>>>>>> Palmer >>> The rest >>>>>> Tavaris >>> Brady/Grossman tossup

I don't know if this is a level or not(pretty sure the Grossman thing is), but...
Brady took over for a 6-10 team that was predicted to be one of the worst teams in the league. His team was 0-2 when he took over. His coach had a career losing record and was known as a guy that didn't communicate well. All Brady did was turn that situation into a dynasty.
And now, of course, everyone looks back and says how he has just had great surrounding talent.
Stats wise for a QB, WRs are not overrated at all. Look at how Moss made all those QBs in Minny look good. Look at how Rice has made every QB hes ever played with look good including Bono and Grbac(he even turned Gannon into a MVP). Look at how great Garcia looked when he had T.O.
Manning is a great, great QB....definitely top 10 of all time, imo #4 of all time, and he has a legit argument for #1 of all time...so please don't think I'm hating on him. But Marvin Harrison helps him much much more statistics wise than most people think imo.
