Two of the best quarterback's ever. One a clutch, multi time superbowl MVP and winner. The other a 2 time league mvp, and the greatest statistical QB ever.Some say the best "pure skill" qb to play the game. Both played two games, with Manning posting his usual post season numbers (terrible) While Brady had a carerr high 3 picks yesterday. Brady played flawless in his first playoff game, but had 3 picks to his 2 touchdowns passes yesterday, against BY FAR the best team in the league. Manning has struggled in both games his games.
To Mannings credit he mounted several key drives to allow his kicker to score points so they could win the game. He was also facing the leagues best defense. To Brady's credit he mounted several key drives down the field, that resulted in touchdown passes to get his team the win, against the best team in the league who had completely shut down three great running backs, all game.

This is not a knock on Manning. I think he is one of the greatest qb's ever. Just some numbers I thought some of you might find interesting. I think when manning gets a ring the problems he has post season will fade.
