Drew Brees vs. Peyton Manning
It’s the battle of the titans. Drew Brees, the best quarterback of the NFC, will face off against Peyton Mannning, the cream of the AFC. What could make for a better Super Bowl? Let’s take a look at the statistics. Brees: 363/514, 70.6%, 4388 yards, 34 TD, 11 INT, 12.1 yards/completion, 55-51 career record Manning: 393/571, 68.8%, 4500 yards, 33 TD, 16 INT, 11.5 yards/completion, 117-59 career record The numbers from 2009 favor Mr. Brees, however, Manning’s career record stands out. He is 117-59 since he started in the National Football League, likely the best record among active quarterbacks. Brees, meanwhile, is over .500 for his career, but has had his struggles. He does not consistently win. The difference between the two quarterbacks is that Manning single handedly powers his team to a winning season every year, while Brees does not have that capability. This makes the Super Bowl match-up very intriguing. Will Manning put his extremely talented team on his back and propel them to victory? Or will Brees, relying on his teammates, win his first championship? The Saints have a serious problem. Their poor defense was exposed in the match-up against the Vikings last week, and Peyton Manning has already been established as “all-powerful”. Unfortunately for New Orleans, regardless of how well their defense plays, Manning will pick them apart. Therefore, Drew Brees will have to play a perfect game for them to be successful. That won't be easy.
