Hitting a non-mobile Tom Brady with a weak OL and hitting Cam Newton, who is mobile and has 30-40 lbs of muscle over Brady, who is also behind an OL with three Pro Bowlers...completely different task. They were getting pressure on the edges to hit Brady - the pocket collapsed. Newton is simply going to tuck the ball and run through the middle or to the offside of the pressure.
I am not a fan of either team or QB (not a hater either), but I'd like to see Manning win and drop the mic, exit stage left. Carolina is just too good on both sides of the ball. The corners for Carolina are going to pick off Manning more than once in the game. Daniels is the only Denver player who might have decent stats at the end of the game.
