Tom Brady and Peyton Manning are arguably the two greatest quarterbacks of all time. Between them they have appeared in 9 Super Bowls, made 24 Pro Bowls, and won 5 MVPs and 4 Super Bowl MVPs. There is no question that they are both legends who have helped to define their position. But there is a question that has fascinated NFL fans and media for well over a decade who is better? For as brilliant as both of these players are, they are also a study in contrasts. Tom is the underdog turned ultimate winner, an unheralded draft pick who won a miraculous Super Bowl as a rookie and hasn't looked back since. To many he embodies what it means to be a champion. Meanwhile, Peyton is NFL royalty, destined from the day he was born to become perhaps the best quarterback of all time and shatter every passing record in football. The contrast in greatness between the overachieving underdog and the crown prince of football, between consistent winning and statistical dominance has served as an endless source of fascination for NFL fans, and over the years as the two players have faced off again and again in classic games, the argument has only intensified. But until now there has never been a definitive treatment of the debate. Veteran NFL correspondent Gary Myers has tackled this subject from every angle, interviewing the players themselves, their coaches, their families, and those who have played with them and against them. He has weighed the evidence on every question, ranging from Who is the better leader?o to Who scares opposing defenses more?o to Who is better at pranking teammates?o The result is a book that will be irresistible to NFL fans.
