Tom Brady has been the best quarterback for the past decade of the NFL

I am glad you responded in time I was almost going to jump for joy the minute if you forfeited. Ok yes I will not disagree with my opponent Peyton Manning is an excellent quarterback and he has trumped Tom Brady in every statistical category in the regular season. I will now argue some of the points that my opponent has pointed out. My opponent says that winning games is entirely a team effort well... that is true, but its also true that a quarterback's entire statistical success is based on how good his team is, and how good the support is. If a player does not have the support of a good team than they will not be as successful as the guy who has the most tools. Ok, lets put it this way, if you give a person brand new tools to build a house and another person rusty tools to build a house it's almost for certain that the man with the brand new tools would be able to build a better, more stable home. My example does contain some relevance to my argument. A quarterback gets good statistics if his offense is good meaning help from the Wide Receivers, the Runningback the Tight Ends all are weapons that a quarterback uses when throwing the football. Comparing Tom Brady and Peyton Manning its no surprise that Peyton Manning would have better statistics because his offense was filled with young talent from the time he entered the NFL. Peyton Manning was blessed with being able to play with great players. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ Peyton Manning's supporting cast Wide Receivers -Marvin Harrison-8x pro bowler -Reggie Wayne-4x Pro Bowler Tight End -Dallas Clark 1x pro bowler -Ken Dilger 1x pro bowler Running backs -Edgerrin James-4x Pro Bowler -Joseph Addai- 1x pro bowler Side note: Edgerrin James and Marvin Harrison were selected to the 2000's NFL All Decade Team NFL All Decade Team-is composed of outstanding performers in the National Football League in the ten years span Only a player or coach's performance in the 2000's is used as criteria for voting. Tom Brady most of his career has been grouped up with no name receivers and never having a permanent runningback like Wide Receivers: -Deion Branch (after leaving the patriots have not found any success in the NFL) -Troy Brown Tight End: -Daniel Graham -Jermaine Wiggins Runningbacks -Antowain Smith -Lawrence Maroney -Kevin Faulk -Corey Dillon when he past his prime years in New York Only Troy Brown and Corey Dillon have made the pro bowl and only one year too on this offense that Tom Brady has had the pleasure of working with. Give Tom Brady the tools (Randy Moss a long time superstar receiver) he goes and throws 50 touchdowns and goes undefeated. From this evidence it no surprise that Peyton Manning would have better statistics in the regular season he carries all the guns and Tom Brady is trying to fight with a steak knife. What this serves to prove is Peyton Manning's Statistics in the regular season being better than Tom Brady does not prove he is a better quarterback just proves he has more support on his offense. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ "You Must Look At a Career, not just the postseason. Sorry buddy" To my opponent wasn't your whole argument in the last round just based off the statistics of Peyton Manning in the regular season? I do look at the career and Tom Brady's postseason success makes his career better than Peyton Manning's. Success- an event that accomplishes it's intended purpose That's the definition of "Success" and in the NFL the "intended Purpose" when going to the postseason is to win the Superbowl. Am I wrong? "Peyton Manning has a better win percentage in the Superbowl" My opponent is right on this Peyton Manning has won all his Superbowl. <- not a grammatical error Peyton Manning has only attended ONE Superbowl in the last 10 years so by the definition of "Success" that my opponent wanted me to define it means Peyton Manning Failed 9/10 in his career making his win percentage in the postseason 10%. Tom Brady won 3 of his 4 Superbowls. Making Tom Brady's postseason success 3/10 which is 30% which is 3TIMES more than Peyton Manning. Tom Brady has also won all his Superbowls with a game winning drive which shows how good Tom Brady is in clutch situations. Tom Brady is better in the clutch than Peyton Manning is. "Peyton Manning has more experience and leadership qualities than Tom Brady. He has been in the league longer than Brady and possesses extreme leadership in choosing which plays to perform seconds before the ball is snapped during game play" Peyton Manning being in the league longer does not make him a better leader if it did his team would have had better success in the postseason. Tom Brady being in the league as long as he has and bringing a team with a mediocre offense to the Superbowl as many times as he did and managing the games in the way that he did makes Tom Brady the better leader. Stats do not prove anything to all the people reading this debate when deciding who's a better quarterback a true measure of a quarterback is in their ability to lead their team and get wins. EXAMPLE 2008 NFL season: Drew Brees had 5069 yards, 34 touchdowns and a 96 QB rating Peyton Manning had 4002 yards, 27 touchdowns and a 95 QB rating Peyton Manning won the MVP award because his team made the playoffs and Drew Bree's didn't. My opponent expects you all the just see that stats and automatically use that to make up your minds that says Peyton Manning is a better Quarterback. In short I've proven Leadership ability- Tom Brady wins- because he has led his team and accomplished the "intended goal" more times than Peyton Manning has with less opportunities to do it. (years pro) Tom Brady leads his team to win isn't that what a good definition of a leader is? Peyton Manning's stats over Tom Brady's- Tom Brady did not have the kind of all star support that Peyton Manning has had but it's been proven that if you give Brady the tools he will do just as good if not better than Peyton Manning, ever since Tom Brady got the help or premier receiver Randy Moss he has thrown over 4000 yards in both years they have been together. Peyton Manning doesn't have better stats than Tom Brady because he's a better quarterback he has better players easy as that. Tom Brady is regarded by many as one of the top clutch quarterbacks of all time so is Peyton Manning but not as good as Tom Brady when he drove down the field in those 3 superbowls makes him a better clutch quarterback. 1:21 left and he drives down the field against the Rams (1st video) http://www.youtube.com... 1:08 left and he drives down the field against the Panthers to win another Superbowl (2nd video) http://www.youtube.com... My opponent can rebuttal with how many clutch moments Manning has had but it can never be as much pressure as it was for Brady to drive down the field during a Superbowl. Tom Brady is the best Quarterback of the decade because of what he has been able to accomplish as the leader of his team winning the most rings and having arguable the greatest season a quarterback has ever had in 2007.
