I think Brady could of ... but the question is more how much better ... and I think the answer is certainly not enough to match Manning.

Obviously, when he got Moss he became the leader of the all-time #1 scoring offense in NFL history ... breaking the points scored record of the '98 Vikings (another Moss team)

I think Manning has had a better hand to play with from an offensive unit standpoint prior to Moss arriving ... but defense is what tends to win the big games .. and Brady has always had the vastly superior defense. At least until recently ... now a lot of Pats greats on defense are retired, or should be retired, or are playing D-line for Oakland.
