Peyton Manning is an incredible player, to me hes the next best QB in the league behind Tom Brady, but to say that the colts would be a horrible team without Peyton is a stretch, and to say that the Patriots would still be average without Brady is laughable, Tom Brady is the glue that holds that team together, just read interviews about him made by players on his team. But I do see where your coming from and Ill ask you this, would you rather have a great fantasy football QB leading your team or would you rather have a 3-time Champion QB leading your team?

Hmmm, would I rather have a great fantasy football QB or a 3 time Champion to lead my team? Well, not to cop out, because I'll have a decision by the end of the post, but I can't really make a call from that.
I think I know what you mean by FF QB. But to me, fantasy football QB means a guy that throws a lot of touchdowns. In most scoring systems, the yard between the one and the goalline counts for 151 times every other yard. (25 yards/point, TD=6 points) To me, stats that lead to NFL success, and stats that lead to FF success are very, very seperate statistics. Quarterbacks who complete more of their passes for more yards per attempt will in general be more successful than those who don't. QBs who do that in FF are worthless unless they also throw TDs.
3-time champion means nothing unless I know something else about him. Based on history, I would be forced to take nameless 3 time champion over great fantasy player. All QBs that have won 3 times have been good players (Brady is 2nd only to Montana of the group that also includes Bradshaw and Aikman, IMO). Sometimes you can get great fantasy QBs who arent good NFL QBs.
But once I know more about the QBs, which is the whole idea of having stats on them, I could make a much better decision. Like Peyton Manning over Tom Brady for example.
