You can't knock him entirely for the playoff losses he's suffered in the past. Does he play defense? Did he miss the field goal against the Steelers two years ago?
The only thing Brady has on him is Super Bowls, which is why I think if he wins one more he's unquestionably the greatest.

Great QB's find a way to win the games they should. Peyton generally crapps the bed in the playoffs (meaningful games) while slamming stats during the regular season and running up the score. He finally got his superbowl last year, but even then he crapped the bed when the pats defensive starters were in there....it took the flu, san diego trip, and a 4th string secondary to get by the pats. There is no doubt that he will be up there if his career keeps going the way it has been, but to call him the greatest right now is foolish. (and again 'greatness' is all perception). Let's give Peyton his due, but let's not get carried away.
