27. Tom Brady IS the better quarterback.

Peyton Manning is always portrayed as the "everyman" while Tom Brady is the "golden boy." The reality is that Manning was a #1 draft pick, is football royalty and is revered in Louisiana, Colorado and I would have to guess, Indiana.
Tom Brady was a Michigan QB, drafted #199. His family is solidly middle class from California. Brady was in the right place at the right time and he has been richly rewarded. I think Brady is hated nationwide because his WINS, is handsome, has a gorgeous wife and family.
It is a shame that he is reviled while Manning is celebrated.
Manning sucks. Always has and always will. He may have the numbers, but not the victories. His smug demeanor and grumpy puss when things don't go his way is laughable. Just as was Eli's mug towards the end of the game.
Just my two cents.
