It's a debate that's been going on for a decade: Is Tom Brady better than Peyton Manning?
Tom Brady has more championships, so the conventional wisdom would say that yes, Brady is superior.
But I think this week's season opener proves otherwise.
This Sunday marked the first time since 1997 that Peyton Manning was not the Indianapolis Colts' starting quarterback.
Championships aren't the only measure of quality for an NFL quarterback. Remember, Dan Marino never won a Super Bowl. He's easily the best player in Super Bowl era of NFL history to have never won a Super Bowl, and he's one of - if not the - best quarterbacks in history. And Manning does in fact have a ring! He won it against my Bears in 2006. But if somebody was going to beat the Bears in the Super Bowl, I'm glad it was Manning. The guy deserves it!
So how else can we compare them?
