Best ever? Maybe not…

Judge wants to slow down the train

“Wow,” said former Baltimore coach Brian Billick, now a TV analyst, “that’s a Sophie’s Choice, at best. People will point to Tom Brady’s three Super Bowls compared to Peyton’s one and now possibly two. But if I have to pick a guy, it’s probably Tom Brady only because as we saw the style of offense you create for Tom Brady is sustainable with another guy, a Matt Cassell, if you can get the right one. But nobody can duplicate what Peyton Manning is doing right now.

“So, to answer your question: Who’s the better quarterback? Peyton Manning. But if you’re saying, ‘Whom would I pick?’ I would pick Tom Brady because with Peyton and what he does — taking nothing away from Tom and what he does — but it’s Peyton. You put anybody else in there, and what happens to that offense? You can’t duplicate it.

“That’s a convoluted answer to your question, but it’s saying that Peyton Manning is the better quarterback, but I choose Tom Brady because in the event that the quarterback goes down I’m not out of business.”

And that’s why you are unemployed, Brian.
