In the end the cocksure athletic brilliance of Brady got trumped by the scared witless survival instincts of Eli Manning on the run.

He is a freaking rock star at his game.  He is the best QB in the league right now (second best is Peyton Manning).

If his 12-2 career record in the playoffs isn't enough to convince you that he is the best quarterback to have on your team in the playoffs, maybe you need to remind yourself about his 45-6 TD-Int ratio this season. Brady is his best when things are on the line, and I am definitely jealous of New England that they have him while he is playing the best quarterback anybody has seen in a long time.

do you even have to ask?
