The 11-5 year was a result of Cassel losing to every good team (5) that Brady beat. That 11-5 year would've been a 16-0 year given a pretty easy schedule they received that year. Plus, Brady has only had some 4-5 years good receiving talent, 2-3 years of consistent rushing talent, and has had bad defenses the last couple of years. Peyton has had a couple thousand yard rushers if I'm not mistaken, good receiving talent, and at least 5 years of a Top 5 defense. But this isn't the point. But the point of this post isn't to say which QB is better, is to say they using a select few statistics to determine a certain QB's skill (in this case, awareness) is inaccurate.

NFL analyst and experts praise Manning and rave over what he does in that pocket. He is the perfect example of a surgeon general. He is the most aware QB i have ever seen and the stat's i posted have backed all of this up. Brady is elite, yes, and a sure fire HOF'er, but If were being realistic nobody can touch Manning on awareness. Since this is "Who is the most aware QB" I will only touch on that. I could debate with you all day about Brady vs. Manning but we'll save that for another day haha

Considering all three of the players have elite and even hall of fame awareness at their position, this is no easy task. I will give the slight edge to Manning though.

Considering Brady is nearing a 3 to 1 TD to INT ratio, and the 2 highest TD to INT ratio seasons, with small WRs, no D to speak of but improving and no running game i say Brady. Manning had at 1 point 2 potential HOF WRs, a potential HOF RB, a top OL, and the best 1 2 pass rushing tandem in the league, and Brees has more weapons than pretty much any HOFer out there and had playmaking RBs and since hes been there he had the 2 best Gs in all of football, the best LG and RG in the league with tall WRs. Bradys OL someway changes every year lately with injuries and retiring players.

I voted for Manning. All 3 will be close, you could have Manning with like a high 90s score like 97 than Brady with 96 and Brees with 95-96 so big deal regardless. I just cannot vote for Brady over Manning.

These three graded out highest because they they zero INTs. Here's the next three on that list. Tom Brady - 8:2 Drew Brees - 10:3 Ben Roethlisberger - 6:2 Completion % Under Pressure Drew Brees Tony Romo Jay Cutler Highest Overall Grade Against Pressure Eli Manning Drew Brees Cam Newton next two were Aaron Rodgers Tom Brady Now I'm surprised to see Cam graded out so high, but it had more to do with him seeing more overall pressure than Rodgers and Brady. Both best Cam in TD/INT ratio, but Cam did have a higher comp % under pressure than Rodgers and was sacked less than either, which ties into the forumla. Not sure I totally buy it, but it's something to think about. Maybe EA should tick up Cam's awareness a bit.

I'm glad I scrolled down to see this because this is the information I thought of when I initially read the OP. Now I'm confused on what AWR actually controls in Madden.

You don't think having the tape of another team's defense would help a quarterback become more AWARE of what is going to happen?

[MaddenSaints]

I do not beleive this. I knew this would happen. Brees has the best awareness easiliy yet Manning is winning!?! It is why you get coruppted results from these votes.
