Now if your judging by witch QB is the best when it counts then Montana is best... overall manning is better

Prettry much, Bart Starr, Y.A. Tittle, Bob Greise, etc. It's one of the reasons I wasn't all that thrilled about Marino. Before him there was Fran Tarkington, both were exciting to watch but never found a way to win. All I'm saying is that as good as Manning is he still hasn't actually proved with recorded performance that he is again "one" of the best. The reason that I keep saying one of the best is that you're talking about comparing QB's from different era's. The rules of the game were different, stats were differnt, and what really defines the greatest QB, just individual records ( in a team sport ), winning record, SB wins, or a combination of all the aforementioned. There is no quantatative standard, this argument has been made in many other sports about who is the best. The result has always been undetermined because the criteria are subject. He will probably end up as a Hall of Famer.
Do I enjoy watching him, yes except against the Pats. Speaking of the Pats, I don't think Tom Brady is one of the best yet. He's very good, but I'll wait a few years before I'd put him in the great to one of the best categories.
