Also, for stats people....
Post season records:
Brady: 18-8
Peyton: 11-12
I'm not really even arguing FOR Brady, just poking holes in the generic "Peyton is better because I'm told his stats are better." arguments. People love to talk about Peyton's stats but seem to forget to look at it in the post season (when you can't just beat up on the 2-3 perennially crap teams in your division anymore -- something both QBs have enjoyed). When it comes down to winning against good teams when it counts, under pressure, I'd still rather have Brady as my quarterback.
Also, re: spygate again -> even Chuck Mangini (the whistle blower) has said that the obvious success of the pats since then (#1 record in football + 2 SB appearances) showed that it wasn't why they were winning. It's a tired narrative at this point... but they still should have just used a guy with binoculars in a box like everyone else.
Brady started his career 10-0 in the playoffs with 3 rings on very good football teams. Since he is 8-8 with 0 rings. Is he a better player in the last 10 years than his first 3 seasons? Sure. It's a team sport though.
Peyton started his career 3-6 in the playoffs with 0 rings, and since is 8-6 with 1 ring. Since both became focal points of a high powered offense, Peyton's teams have outperformed Brady's in the playoffs.

well if this is peyton vs brady comparison, i think bringing up chokes is going to be a tough battle to win for the peyton people!
In 2012 the Patriots got shut out in the 2nd half in Foxboro by the Ravens. In 2013 the Patriots got demolished by the Broncos in Denver. I don't see recent grounds for Brady supporters to be citing postseason dominance. The Patriots won on Sunday, but they won't win in January when the game's in Denver
