And for people who want to argue, look at the weapons that manning has had his entire career.
Bradys best reciever up until 2007 (moss) was Branch. Hows Branch makin out in Seattle? Last I heard hes a boarderline camp cut!
Case closed.

So judging by your first comment why do you have Manning ahead of Roethlisberger? Ben has already won 2 Superbowl's and is in his mid 20's! Pretty weak argument.
Whichever player people put at #1 (Manning or Brady), doesn't mean the other one sucks or anything. OMG xxxxx is #2..........that's an outcry! LOLZZZZZZZ!
Both these guys are great quarterbacks.
You also forgot to mention that Peyton Manning is:
1. The only quarterback to lead his team to 6 straight 12 win seasons (NFL record and an active streak heading into this season).
2. Is the current and a 3 time NFL MVP (NFL record shared with Brett Favre). Brady has won 1 MVP award.
3. Is already 4th ALL TIME in passing TD's (will be #1 before his career finishes).
4. Is already 7th ALL TIME in passing yards (will be #1 before his career finishes).
5. Is already 5th ALL TIME in passing completions (will be top 2 before his career finishes).
6. A 10 time Pro Bowler in 12 full seasons (Brady has been a 4 time pro bowler in his 7 full seasons).
Tom Brady doesn't rank in the top 20 in any of those categories (of course he hasn't played in as many games so let's project where he would be):
Brady has played 113 Games to Manning's 176 so:
Passing Yards
Manning at 176 games is at 45628 passing yards.
Brady (currently at 26446 passing yards in 113 games) at 176 games would be projected to be at 41190.
Touchdowns:
Manning at 176 games is at 333 TD's.
Brady (currently at 197 TD's in 113 games) at 176 games would be projected to be at 307 TD's.
Completions:
Manning at 176 games has 3839 completions.
Brady (currently at 2301 completions in 113 games) at 176 games would be projected to be at 3584 completions.
Manning is on pace to be #1 in Touchdowns, Yards and Completions all time. Pretty hard to ignore that.
I wanted to bold the most important part:
With these numbers i'm not suggesting Brady sucks or Brady is a chump. The guy has 3 Superbowls as you mentioned and is a fantastic quarterback. But for you to say that people are nuts if they pick Manning over Brady is a ridiculous statement(as it would be if people said the opposite). The guys are close. Either could be #1 or #2.
