Now with that being said, I could make a solid argument saying that Brady has had a better year than Manning has. The amount of injuries that the Patriots have had to deal with is utterly ridiculous, and if this team were led by just about any other quarterback, they would be out of the playoffs. But with a win next week against the Bills, New England will have locked up the second seed in the AFC, and will receive a first round bye in the upcoming playoffs. Brady has led some remarkable comebacks this year, including overcoming a 24 point deficit against Peyton’s Broncos. Much like 2006, Brady’s statistics don’t look very good, but this has arguably been his best year, even better than that record setting 2007 campaign.
