Manning vs. Brady, REDUX

We've run this discussion a few times before, but I want to know if anybody's opinion has changed after 2007.

Before 2007, I would have said Manning. Now, I'll go with Brady. In 2007, Brady finally got the talent at WR comparable to what Manning has had for the majority of his career, and he had a better season than any Manning has had. And he still has two more rings.

Brady's season for the ages does give him a solid argument he could be ranked higher than Manning. That's one of the things I'm really looking at for this upcoming season, what Brady can do for an encore and how well Manning can do, especially if he has a bit more luck in the health department. That's as much for them as it is for their teams and their Super Bowl chances.

I flip flop them constantly. I had Brady ahead, until Manning won the big one, and moved Manning ahead (probalby emotional, looking back I think Brady was still ahead). Then Brady had the fantastic 2007, and I now have Brady ahead. If he had won the superbowl, too, he would have cemented it.

But the fact that I'm still flip flopping means I checked too early to tell. Although I think Manning needs to do a lot to pass Brady. At least another super bowl if not two.

Manning. I think now that the Patriots have been greatly helped in recent years through the method of videotaping defensive signals. We would all be pretty good at Trivial Pursuit if we were allowed to look at the back of the cards before the question is asked!

And what makes you so sure the Colts haven't done the exact same thing? And what about Brady's 2007, NFL-certified taping-free?
