Peyton Manning or Tom Brady: Which QB was more feared? FrontOffice33 | GoPats | ForTheShoe | BroncosCountry | GoBucs
Former Baltimore Ravens and New York Jets linebacker Bart Scott caused quite the public uproar by recently claiming that Peyton Manning was a much more difficult quarterback to play against than fellow. Scott, who earned a Pro Bowl nod and second-team All-Pro honors in 2006, faced Manning and Brady on a combined 19 occasions, so he certainly seems educated enough to speak on the topic. Scott made the comments via a recent ESPN radio appearance.
Brady has placed some distance between himself and Manning given that he’s still performing at an elite level while continuing to compete for Super Bowls. We don’t doubt thatdefenders feared facing Manning over Brady. Manning was such a master of the mental aspects of the game. Manning was a master manipulator that diagnosed defenses both pre-and-post snap as successfully as any competing quarterback. His ability to dissect coverages led to an overwhelming amount of success.
