The problem with the arguments made on Manning's behalf is that people are of the thought that if you took Brady and put him on the Colts he wouldnt do as well. Problem with that is we have never seen Brady play for another team so its unclear what he would do and the only argument (weak one at that) is what happened with Matt Cassell when Brady got hurt. However, if you took Manning and swapped him out with Brady and then Manning goes down with a leg injury in 2006 you still have a Matt Cassell coming in and going 11-5 because of the coach/system. Since we dont know how Brady would do on another team outside of NE its just a flat unknown as too whether he would succeed as well or not and it would be hard to say given Manning's propensity to choke in big moments how he would fair on NE despite working with a better coach. Coaches can only do so much, in the end the players have to make the plays on the field. Even if its only a 4 yd run.
