I like Tom Brady and Peyton Manning alot but they seem to always be the biggest rivals. I think their rivals because their both such great QB's and they know how to lead their team to victories. Peyton Manning is currently rated #1 and Tom Brady #2 in the NFL right now because they know what it takes to lead their teams to win and they have good passing yards. It's not easy watching two of the best QB's play each other and having tabloids make them look like enemies. They should be respected QB's because they are two of the best! GO TOM BRADY! AND PEYTON MANNING!

theres nothing wrong with having a rival as long as both sides can keep things civil. they both seem like they're good enough guys to keep from trash talking each other, at least for the most part. lol.

but, i think Brady should be seated in that #1 spot. but hey, if you gotta be #2 to someone, Manning should be in the top dog slot, its no thing to be rated just below a great player like that.

Because they are two of the best. It's a guy thing.

They seem lik rivals but they are not the biggest ones.

They are both proven winners (Manning in the reg season), they are generally considered the 2 best at their position in this era, AND they have had many epic matchups in the reg season and playoffs in the last 5 years or so.
Also, people just simply like watching the best pkay the best! Football at the highest level on earth! It's like the Yanks/ Red Sox in baseball...

Tom Brady winning the Super Bowl would be no "sorpresa"... down here in Mexico, he is loved...and oh boy, if he beats Manning, it would be normal, GO PATRIOTZ!!!

we mainly consider them rivals because they are both in the afc and we usually have to face them to determine who is going to the superbowl.(like next week) plus i find them to be the two best teams in the afc.(im from new england so im a hard core pats fan)

The improvement of the Colts' performance isn't because of Manning, well, in the playoffs. He's thrown 5 picks in the last 2 games. It's the play of the defense. They've suddenly toughened up and are playing better than they have all season...right on time. I do think Manning is by far the best technician, analyst, passer, and is like another offense coordinator of all QB's in the NFL. He's a one-of-a-generation QB.

Brady is a winner, period. He's plays his best in pressure situations. If he beats Indy and Manning, he'll secure his place in the Hall of Fame. I wouldn't want any other QB in football on my team in a big game!

They fuel a competitive spirit not only among themselves, but with the media and fans because they are who they are. Manning HAS to win a big one. This year might be the season. Even tho' he's a shoo-in for the HOF, he'll probably get every vote if and when he wins his ring. It will be fun watching the Pats vs Colts and Manning vs Brady. Can't ask for too much better entertainment.

they are the 2 biggest rivals right now. but in the history of the nfl there have been greater. Tom Brady and Petyton Manning off the field are friends, and calls each other and e-mail each other. in the past there are some QB rivals that would have killed each other if they saw each other in the streets.

I think the media makes more out of it than there is brady has no reason to have a rivalry with manning he wins championships and manning doesnt brady with less to throw at decent stats 3 AFC titles and 3 Super Bowl rings I would put in the number 1 category not manning

tom brady is really a woman, so no.
