I would definitely say that Brady is the top QB, with Manning a close second. Right now, I would say that Manning and the Colts are on the decline, while Brady and the Pats seem to be hitting a resurgence. Although I must say that Darth Hoody is doing wonders with that defense of theirs (who gave up 30+ points Buffalo) and virtually no running game.

Outside of the SB/Playoff records (clearly in favor of Brady), I think Brady and Manning have each had to carry their team through deficiencies (with Brady it was a lack of a true weapon at WR, including one year where he was throwing it to TEs and still made the playoffs; and Manning never having a decent defense); but they have also had big pluses helping them along the way (Manning = top WR group; Brady = great defense/now a good WR group).

I do think that Brady is more of a clutch QB; if you need a TD drive late in the 4th quarter, you want Manning behind center.
