You want to talk about underperforming against expectations? How many times in a row have the Colts won at least 10 games and they have one title to show for it. They are like the Braves of the NFL. When the breaks don't go your way once or twice, chalk that up to bad luck. When they continually go against you, while they continually went Brady's way, that's not luck. Then take it back to Peyton's troubles in college and you see a pattern. I think Peyton is a better passer. Better at reading a defense and making the tougher throws. Better at leading a team for 45 minutes a game. But when it's on the line, give me Brady every time and while you come up with your reasons why Brady won and Manning lost, be it the defense they face or the idiot kicker making or missing, etc, I'll be celebrating the championship. I'll always take wins over excuses.

There's your answer right there. How many titles does Brady have without Vinatieri?? Zero. How many has Manning won without Vinatieri?? Zero. He is the magic elixer for both fellows. If Tom Brady had Scott Norwood and Jim Kelly had Adam Vinatieri, they'd have the same number of championships.
Brady often needed that idiot kicker.
