The pro Brady arguement is based on two things
1) Tossing out any and all of Manning regular season accomplishments-basically assuming either regular season equality, or insignificance.
2) Proof that Manning's cognitive clarity is affected by playoff style pressure.
It's difficult, for any QB, to win on the road in inclimate weather in the playoffs, against the leagues best D's. Manning has yet to be successful (in 3 tries since 2002), Brady failed in Denver anyway. I'm not sure I'd attribute this phenomenon to playoff pressure as much as it just seems like a situation that the QB is going to struggle in. Manning has, Brady has.

If Manning had performed better in the regular season he wouldn't have had to win on the road in the playoffs. So the argument about his regular season performance doesn't really matter, because it hasn't helped him out at all yet.
