a focal point on his team. He's had a some nice weapons to work with, but has never had a consistently dominant OL, RB, and WRs like Aikman had. He had some great RBs/WRs for a moment like Tiki and WRs like Plaxico, Victor Cruz, and now ODB, but not the same level of consistent support.

Manning put his teams on his back (with the help of good defense) whereas Troy just kept things moving in a positive direction and limited his mistakes.

This isn't to say one is better than the other. It's just highlighting that their roles were vastly different.

Also, gotta disagree about the Cowboys should have won more. They won 3 SBs which is a lot. I'd argue that's more impressive than Bron with the Heat (comparatively speaking). Also, they had to run the gauntlet of the NFC that featured some great Green Bay and San Francisco teams.
