Tip to Kuharsky, what Manning has to do to be the greatest of all time
Yes, Brady is basically in the same boat as Manning in that he also needs to fill out the remainder of his career to truly enter the argument as the greatest player in NFL history. But you get the feeling Manning and Brady are going to duke it out all the way to the ends of their careers and be tied together like Magic Johnson and Larry Bird, Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux or Dan Marino and John Elway. Indeed, Brady has already carved out his case in a short amount of time, notching arguably the single greatest season ever by a quarterback in 2007, winning three Super Bowls and two Super Bowl MVPs. And his leadership qualities rival Manning’s – which is a feat unto itself.
How Manning could win the argument: Super Bowls and statistics
Manning is going to finish with better stats than Brady, but he’s trailing the Super Bowl end of the argument 3-1. And that means a lot since they are being measured against each other in real time. But if Manning wins on Sunday, he’ll make a good case for being back in the driver’s seat. Particularly when you consider that since the Patriots were caught in the Spygate cheating scandal – in which they were taping the defensive signals of opponents – they haven’t won a Super Bowl. That’s definitely a twist in the debate.

How many rings does Terry Bradshaw have? How about Brad Johnson?
Tom Terrific could not have carried the Colts of the past decade to the heights they have reached under Manning. Conversely, Manning might have won 5 Super Bowls had he played on that New England team, with that defense.
And finally, I'm bored with this whole debate/question.
I'm just going to enjoy the rest of Manning's career - something that I know I'll never see again in my lifetime.
History will say what it will say, regardless of our debates today.
