With every rise there is a fall.

     The NFL is a big deal in the United States. Every sunday millions of americans turn on their TVs to watch the action-packed match-ups the NFL has to offer. Possibly two of the the most well-liked teams in the NFL are the New England Patriots and the Denver Broncos. Both teams have several players that are very talented, including two hall of fame bound quarterbacks. It is understood how good Tom Brady and Peyton Manning are as they are both always projected to play well. The Patriots started of quite slow but are now ranked number 1 in the power rankings for this year, but the Broncos stayed on pace with constant top 10 appearences in the rankings. In recent weeks, the Patriots have been playing fantastic, even beating the Broncos 43-21! Is it time for the Broncos to begin their downward spiral?

     There is and ever-lasting debate in the football world of who is the better quarterback, Tom Brady or Peyton Manning. Both men have outstanding attributes to back them up. Manning as of week 7 holds the all-time passing TDs record for the NFL. That is something only one man can say, and it is a pretty big deal. The Broncos have remained atop the NFL and its power rankings all season. There has not been a shed of doubt on the team because they prove their talents each wee with impressive wins against teams like San Francisco (42-17) and San Diego (35-21) but withe their 43-21 loss to the patriots, it begs the question is there a new sheriff in town?

     Tom Brady is a hero in the area of New England. I for example hope to marry him one day. Tom Brady was a 6th round draft pick out of Michigan unlike his first round pick adversary, Manning. Unlike Manning, he does not hold the all-time TD record, but he has arguably more important attributes. Peyton Manning played in the Super Bowl last year and performed anything but well losing 43-8 to Russell Wilson! With Tom Brady's post record standing at an impressive 18-7 while Manning has a much less impressive record at 11-12. Many people agree that the postseason is the only thing that matters. With Brady  sporting 3 super bowl rings and Manning only having 1 it is clear who performs better both under pressure and in the postseason. Will there ever be a true answer to who is a better quarter back? Yes it is clearly Brady.
