I know very well that Dalton hasn't produced on the biggest stage, but I would add that his coaches, defense, weapons, etc. didn't as well where Tom (who was a glorified game manager in those early super bowls) has a more complete performance from his team.  

Nowhere did I say Dalton was better than Brady, especially in the postseason, but the point I was contending was that it isn't right to say they can't be mentioned in the same breath.  That's all.  Look no further than Aaron Rogers:  one super bowl despite being one of the best, or maybe THE best QB of all time...his team around him didn't perform up to the competition.  It takes a whole team.  No team has won a Super Bowl simply because they had a great QB.  Ditto Marino.  It takes a team.  

I prefaced that to not belittle what AD is; A good NFL QB who will win you games. I was trying not to sound like a Andy basher, but be reasonable with my thought of him. But when you look at the body of work as a whole, I think it is silly. That's all. Rather it's because Brady was a benefactor of an amazing org top to bottom or otherwise, comparing the two is, again, kinda silly. Nothing against you at all, just my lousy two cents.
