Kuharsky as good. Graham as evil.
PK: Broke records, yes. Won the big one, no. So there goes the theory that if you have a great supporting cast, you should win it. Last time the Pats won it, Moss was still a Viking and Welker was with the Dolphins. Again, I’m a big Brady fan and love his body of work. He’s done what was needed to win a lot of playoff games, and Manning hasn’t matched him there. But the perception is Brady lights it up in the postseason and Manning chokes.
Yet in roughly the same number of games, Manning averages about 50 more passing yards and they are virtually identical from there: 1.5 touchdown passes a game, between 0.7 and 0.8 interceptions per game and completion percentages right around 62. Brady edges Manning in postseason passer rating by the whopping margin of 88.0 to 85.0.
I don’t want to make it all about numbers, but looking at per-game averages in the regular season, Manning has the edge in yards (261.8 to 238.1) and touchdown passes (1.89 to 1.76), with Brady ahead only in interceptions (.75 to .92). Manning also has a higher regular-season completion percentage (64.7 to 63.2) and passer rating (95.3 to 93.4)
