It just hit me that the arguments put forth by Brady fans and the media that he is better than Manning because of the Super Bowl disparity makes no sense in light of the fact Manning has way more MVPs. In all seriousness, which "award" or result is more dependent on the overall team versus a single player's skills? Winning a Super Bowl or winning an MVP? I can't imagine ANYONE saying that winning a Super Bowl more accurately reflects an individual player's greatness than the MVPs because MVPs are defined as the Most Valuable (Individual) Player. I guess that is why they try to distinguish Manning as the greatest regular season QB of all time, however, again, isn't it disingenuous to say that Brady deserves the post-season title over Manning when their post-season stats are very similar, except for the most team-dependent stat, wins?
I wonder if this is a carry-over because of Jordan, and how everyone said he was the greatest ever because of the championships. Of course there is a huge difference in this argument, because basketball is a lot different of a sport than football, AND Jordan won his own share of MVPs, along with championships.
