How about this: on 4th down, Brady has thrown 82 times, Peyton has thrown 80 times. Brady has 43 1st downs (52%), 6 TDs (7%), and 3 INTs (4%). Peyton has 51 1st downs (64%), 14 TDs (18%), and 2 INTs (3%). Who's more clutch on 4th down? |
Peyton's stats aren't really better, though. They're virtually the same outdoors. That's with Brady playing in the north, and Manning getting games in Houston and Jacksonville.
Here, so the stats are seen. From earlier this year (OCT 31), as part of a longer article:
Quote:
Brady in a dome: 67.4%, 8.64 YPA, 6.9% TD, 2.62% INT, 106.42 rating
Manning in a dome: 66.16%, 7.8 YPA, 6.1% TD, 2.4% INT, 99.72 rating
Brady outdoors: 63.15%, 7.35 YPA, 5.39% TD, 1.93% INT, 95.28 rating
Manning outdoors: 64.97%, 7.62 YPA, 5.66% TD, 2.63% INT, 95.83 rating

When it comes to outdoor play:
Brady protects the ball better. Manning throws a little bit longer, to better receivers, and hands off for fewer TDs. The QB rating is essentially the same, and Manning's got the edge in terms of where he's playing outdoor games.
When it comes to indoor play:
Brady, even with the same lesser talent surrounding him, puts up clearly superior numbers to Manning.
And notice this little nugget
Quote:
70.3% of the offensive TDs scored by Manning teams have come via the pass (523 of 744)*
65.5% of the offensive TDs scored by Brady teams have come via the pass (388 of 592)*

There's your TD% differential. Also, Brady puts up more PPG, despite the lesser supporting cast and playing outdoors most of the time.
Look, I get that you're trolling. Hootie doesn't, though. He thinks you're serious. You're going to leave him a very disappointed boy. Let him down easy.
