8. Tom Brady
Brady or Manning? Well, in this case, Brady. Sports enthusiasts are always debating which QB is better, and I'm not sure why they can't independently be elite QBs because they are both among the best QBs of all time.
Manning may be the best pure passer of all-time. However, a lot of people, including myself, have argued that Manning isn't clutch - a statement that isn't completely true. A recent poll, which was an anonymous survey of 320, indicated that Tom Brady received 128 votes to Peyton Manning's 86 votes for "QB you would most want in the huddle with 2 minutes left and the Super Bowl on the line." However, throughout their careers, Manning has compiled 40 comeback drives when trailing in the 4th quarter to Brady's 30.

I think the biggest differentiator though is what Brady does in the postseason. Brady has appeared in 5 Super Bowls and led his team to 3 victories, including some pretty clutch moments. In addition, Brady always has the Patriots contending. With the NFL's scheduling, where a division leader from the previous season has to play all other conference division winners, the fact that Brady has the Patriots winning the division almost every year is truly remarkable.
