I'm not claiming peyton manning is better than tom brady because it's hard to compare, but I would say that if Tom Brady were playing for the broncos and Peyton Manning were playing for the patriots, I would feel a lot more confident that the broncos would win.
There are just too many offensive weapons besides Peyton Manning on the broncos. 3 very capable receivers plus two serviceable running backs as long as the pass game is respected. Decker and Thomas were solid receivers before Manning came in and now they add in Welker who was number one in receptions under Brady. Brady is doing it with a team of second stringers from last season. No gronk, no welker, and they're still handling business.
What's most impressive about the pats today is they've transformed themselves to whatever it takes to become superbowl contenders. No gronk, no problem, we'll still pass but we'll develop a smash mouth running game too in Blount, Vereen, and Ridley.
