i dont get you guys...
...and thats fine.
not as talented as those two guys? really???!
let me preface by saying that i have no preference as far as one being better than the other.
as far as knowing where the ball should go in his system/whats given to him MANNING is unquestionably the best at that--and he can make some tight throws as well, though having two talented WR's and a solid TE at most all times (sans rookie year when he was on his back) allowed him to comfortably take chances in trying to make tougher throws, more often (as gameplan was based around passing game).
same thing, but to a lesser extent with brady. ever since the pats discarded the running game for a short passing game its been pass first, pass second, pass third, did we score yet? brady has flourished in said system, as is well within his range the throws that are needed to make. i'll admit that Brady did do "well" when was without marquee receivers to play with(first SB winning YR) - though was far hardly polished at that point. he has grown as all QB's do, into their system.
pittsburgh though has easily been one of the more run-heavy squads for quite a time now. is that because they don't have faith in ben's ability at qb? to some extent i suppiose. it actually was fun watching no-huddle shotgun last night from pitt. personally i think ben physically can make any throw that brady makes... and lacks some of the touch, finesse that peyton has on longer balls-- though as far as being physically gifted ben is easily on par with these two guys.
peyton is the only guy that i think could manage being put into a new system ie. put behind center for pitt, and manage well-to-good enough. brady again to a lesser extenet, and ben further after that. accuracy and the mental side- knowing where/when to throw- is the only thing ben is lacking compared to brady or peyton.
brady wouldnt be UNSTOPPABLE on pitt--theiur offense doesnt allow for ANY QB to be unstoppable. With the rythym that brady gets into passing 80% of the time, he looks crisper sharper than any pitt QB could end up seeing in passing perhaps 65% of the time.
thats jus my humble opinion--and form what i gather is not a popular one.
i never said ben was great with decisions. ie. the semi hail mary he threw up the SB against SEA that hadto be wrestled away defender by hines ward at goal line for not to be an int as an example, though he has easily has extended plays longer than either of the other two beacuse their systems are more keyed on throwing "on-time" than his is.
