What does the empirical data suggest?
Uncle?
I think the talent statement is fair, but give anybody the cap flexibility the pats had because of Tom taking lesser contracts. Tom had great OL and solid defenses his whole time there. Colts usually were trash on defense and after Edge left the run game was garbage. I'm very interested to see what Brady does in TB though. Talent around him is not an issue.
Manning always found away to come up small in big moments , just like in college. People forget both of his Sb wins he was awful in the playoffs. I know his first SB he had more int’s than tds, while having a great ol and skill guys. Bob sanders had that d balling during that run.
I’d be willing to get Brady didn’t do anything like that. Brady always seemed to get better in the big moments.
Lastly I don’t think Belichik and Manning could’ve coexisted. BB is to the pats what Manning was to the colts. Like Lebron he controlled everything , he’s had control all the way back to HS so it would’ve eventually hit the fan in NE. Brady is a pretty chill dude , not too alpha. So he fit perfect with Bb.
I never heard about the HGH, that's crazy.Manning would have been more successful than he was, BUT he would have faced a lot more questions about taking HGH or whatever he was accused of if he was a Patriot. Just like our Canes any negative news equals a ton of clicks from all the haters out there

Also, the Pats get all that negative attention because they've been caught cheating numerous times.
