(the difference during this time????? Warner played for 1 team....Green played for 3 different ones......)

Career stats....INCLUDING the 2 "half" years that Green played.....(which tend to kill ones stats)...lol...both played 9 years...if you subtract thier first year, in which neither played much at all.....


Green 27,950 passing yds 162 TD's 108 Int 4 teams
Warner 24,008 passing yds 158 tds 100 Int 3 teams

I didn't bother adding up the stats for the time that Green was playing just for the Chiefs, as Rules would say that he was playing just w/in the system.....
but chances are that, if Green had not been injured in KC that afternoon playing against Cinci.....that he would have played for another 2 years or so....(if he managed to stay injury free).....if he continued as he started....(and why not, KC has a COUPLE of decent recievers at this time.....
he could have added 8-10 thousand to that passing rating.....(unfortunately......more Int, as well...lolol)

You left out Warners 3 year stats with the Iowa Barnstormers:
1320 ATT
818 Cmp
62%
10,465 YDs
183 TDs
43 INTs
That makes Warner better.......................

Perfect Patriots, improbable Giants headed to Arizona for Super Bowl

Perfection for the Patriots or one Giant upset: a Super showdown is set.

Tom Brady and the New England Patriots will try to complete an unbeaten season Feb. 3 against the New York Giants in the Super Bowl at Glendale, Ariz.

"We'll try to elevate our game for one last performance," said Brady, the dimple-chinned, record-setting quarterback with the model girlfriend.

New England (18-0) will attempt to match the 1972 Miami Dolphins as the only teams to complete an undefeated season. Standing in the Patriots' way are the road-warrior Giants (13-6) and Eli Manning -- Peyton's little brother, whose moxie and leadership abilities no longer can be questioned.

"We haven't been given a shot," Manning said of his Giants, who have won 10 straight on the road. "But we're here, and I think we're deserving of it."

Las Vegas oddsmakers might think differently. They installed New England as a 13 1/2 -point favorite in the big game, in which New York will get another shot at destroying the Patriots' path to perfection.

New England won 38-35 in its final game of the regular season, rallying from a 12-point second-half deficit.

"That got us going, momentum," Manning said.

At least neither team will have to worry about a frigid forecast in Arizona. On Sunday, New England beat San Diego 21-12 in 23-degree temperatures in the AFC championship at Foxborough, Mass., while New York edged Green Bay 23-20 in overtime in subzero conditions in the NFC title game at Lambeau Field.

"Now we're going to someplace warm because I'm freezing my you-know-what off," Brady said, flashing that familiar grin.

Brady and the Patriots will be well-thawed by the time they play in the Super Bowl for the fourth time in seven years. A win in this one would rank the Patriots as perhaps the greatest champion in NFL history -- Spygate a long-forgotten speedbump.

In that scandal, the Patriots were fined $250,000 and Belichick $500,000 for violating league rules by training a sideline camera on Jets coaches in their season-opening win. New England was stripped of its first-round draft pick next year, but the team stood by its coach.

"I think there's special guys on this team that have stepped all year when they needed to," Brady said.

And maybe none more than New England's record-breaking -- and heartbreaking -- quarterback.

Brady started this special season by becoming a father for the first time as his ex-girlfriend, actress Bridget Moynahan, gave birth to their son. Brady had since moved on to former Victoria's Secret model Gisele Bundchen, making them gossip fodder around the world.

When the football-hurling heartthrob got back to business, he became a cover story for other reasons.

Brady threw an NFL-record 50 touchdown passes in the regular season, with 23 of those to Randy Moss, who topped Jerry Rice's record. Brady was also the league's Most Valuable Player in helping New England score an NFL-record 589 points.

"They played great all year," coach Bill Belichick said. "I'm very lucky to coach this team."

Linebacker Junior Seau quickly returned the compliment: "Bill is definitely the best coach ever."

Now, 17 straight wins later, the Patriots are on the verge of making NFL history.

Tom Brady wonders why Plaxico Burress' prediction was just 23-17

By BARRY WILNER, AP Football Writer January 30, 2008 PHOENIX (AP) -- 23-17. Just 17 points for the potent Patriots. A certain MVP quarterback thinks that's a Super-sized diss. Tom Brady scoffed when told Wednesday that New York Giants receiver Plaxico Burress guaranteed New York will beat Brady's undefeated New England team in Sunday's Super Bowl. "We're only going to score 17 points?" Brady said before chuckling about it. "OK. Is Plax playing defense? I wish he had said 45-42 and gave us a little credit for scoring more points." Considering the Patriots set an NFL record by scoring 589 points, Brady's 50 touchdown passes were the most ever for one season, and Randy Moss broke Jerry Rice's mark with 23 TD catches, Burress might have been a bit chintzy. The last time the Patriots played the Giants, in the season finale, New England rallied from 12 points down in the third quarter to win 38-35. The Patriots have not scored fewer than 20 points in their 18 victories, and the last time they put up only 17 was Dec. 10, 2006 -- a 21-0 loss at Miami in their last regular-season defeat. Even if the Giants' defense performs at its peak, it's still doubtful New England will score only 17 points. "I know they have confidence. They should have confidence," Brady said. "They are the NFC champions. "I learned a lesson early in my career: No matter what you say during the week -- and God knows we say a lot this week -- we're going to be focused on going out and winning this game. We're confident, but I don't think we share our thoughts with everybody." Burress did. And when he showed up 33 minutes late for the Giants' media session Wednesday morning, there was speculation the wide receiver was trying to avoid the spotlight. Turns out Burress was spending time with his 1-year-old son and family at breakfast, claiming he was unaware so many people wanted to interrogate him about his prediction. Nor was he aware, he said, that a hefty fine comes with missing a Super Bowl week media session. "I don't understand what the fuss is about," Burress said, surrounded by at least as many TV cameras, microphones and notepads as Brady was two hours earlier. "Nobody wants to lose. "All this is entertainment," added Burress, who was held out of practice Wednesday because of an ankle injury that has plagued him all season. "It's sports, and sports are entertainment. So 23-17 is the prediction I made, but the game still has to be played." Told about Brady's reaction to that score, Burress said he wasn't disrespecting anyone. "I'm not taking anything away from what those guys accomplished," he said. "They set all the records you could possibly imagine. They have a great quarterback, the MVP, who threw for a record (50) touchdowns. Randy set a TD record for catches. They had two receivers with over 100 catches. "The numbers don't lie about what they have done." Nor do the numbers 23-17 lie about what Burress thinks. "Hey, look how much fun everybody is having with it," he said. "It makes national, international headlines. But the game still has to be played." Giants coach Tom Coughlin couldn't have been pleased with Burress, but declined to say very much about him. "I will speak with Plaxico in a private way, and that's where it will remain," he said. New England played two games this season that were preceded by an opposing player's prediction. Pittsburgh's Anthony Smith guaranteed a win in Week 13 at Foxborough; the Patriots routed the Steelers 34-13. And after Brady threw an early TD pass over Smith, he verbally confronted the Steelers safety. Days before the AFC title game, San Diego defensive end Igor Olshansky said the Chargers were unstoppable. New England stopped them, 21-12. "We don't make predictions. We just let our play do the talking," Brady said matter-of-factly. "Plaxico is a hell of a player. If he feels that way, I think that's great. I'd hate for him to think he's going to lose this game. It's obvious nobody does." Burress was entitled to his opinion, Moss said, "but the only thing about a prediction is that you have got to make it happen." "I think the pressure is more on them now, since they've guaranteed this victory. We've prepared very hard for the last week and a half, and we still have got a couple more days to get out there and tone some things up. But making a prediction that you are going to go out there and make it happen are very tough words to back up." Not that Burress is backing down. He's done his Joe Namath impersonation off the field, and now he has to come through in similar fashion to what Namath and the New York Jets achieved in 1969: the biggest upset in Super Bowl history. "Well, 23-17 was the first thing that came to my head," Burress said. Then Burress looked at the numbered placard at the table where he was holding court. "No. 23," he said. "How do you like that?"
