Final analysis - Manning a great quarterback this season, Brees BETTER

Even in the playoffs this year Manning has 5 TDs and 1 INT to Brees' 6 TDs 0 INTs... but they all talk about how good Manning has been in the playoffs this year but don't mention Brees at all.
Since 2006 (the last 4 seasons) Brees is #1 in passing yards - more than Manning. They both are tied at #1 with 122 TDs. Manning has been playing a few more years and his life time stats are better, but I just don't understand how they can dis Brees so bad when he has done as good or better than Manning in the last 4 years since he has been with the Saints. If Brees would have had a better defense in years past he would have made the superbowl every year, can't knock him for not having superbowl wins because he has had bad defenses.
