the career totals are skewed because of the gaudy numbers today's no touch league allows guys to rack up, but looking at top 10 finishes shows how good he was 7x Top 10 in yards: 1,2,3,3,4,6,6,8 7x Top 10 in TD: 3,3,4,7,8,10,10 9x Top 10 in completions: 1,1,2,3,6,7,8,8,8 8x Top 10 in game winning drives: 1,2,2,2,3,3,4,4,4,5 16th all time in yards 21st all time in TD 13th all time in completions stay classy...?

count on Buffalo to defend talking sh*t about a 5 year old girl

no, its just an inferiority complex people need to build to make themselves feel better and avoid the real truth that your team is not good enough to win and you cant accept it

take it a step further, Brady has led 4 Super Bowl winning drives. 2001 2003 2014 2016 He also led one in 2007, scoring a go ahead TD with 2 minutes left, the defense let him down. Brees maybe pulls off 1 or 2 of those drives, but definitely not all 4.

so is Blake Bortles.....

and the complete lack of mental toughness that describes is EXACTLY why you are looking at an 18 year playoff drought. Guess what? Not everything goes your way in a game, and if you fold like a cheap suit instead of fighting through it you get The Bills since 1999

it wouldn't be about making a point, it would have been Bill keeping the same mindset he always had. The Patriot Way is you trade an aging guy 1-3 years early to make way for the young up and coming replacement...see Wilfork, Milloy, Law, Welker, Vrabel, Harrison, Vinatieri, Mankins, Light, etc. For some reason he did the opposite with Brady and Jimmy. I personally would've traded Brady after this year and given Jimmy the reins. Same way SF traded Joe Montana to go with Young, Indy moved on from Peyton to get Luck and how Green Bay stuck with Rodgers when Favre changed his mind. I have a bad feeling us Patriots fans are going to look back on this trade as a what could've been. You aren't going to find a better heir to the throne before Brady is gone than Jimmy.

Red Auerbach. Built the 60s Celtics dynasty and coached them to 9 championships in 11 years. Also builds the 70s and 80s Celtics, winning another 7 championships as GM/President. Directly responsible for the entire 60s-80s 16 title Celtics dynasty

exactly. Look, 'process of the catch' isnt hard to quantify in this case. He dove for the pass, and the bobble happened when he hit the ground from that same dive. The entire dive is considered part of the catch. You need to make a separate football move beyond the catch to become a runner. For example...if he had dove, caught it, got back up to his knees, then dove for the endzone and bobbled when hitting it would've been a touchdown. Hate the rule all you want (I do), but it was called correctly according to it. and frankly, this one was way less of a "screw job" than Dez Bryant in the playoffs. On that one he made a separate move by landing, turning, then reaching out

be more wrong. funny how people forget the same call went against the Pats vs the Jets that very season. bad rule, yes...but the call was made to the letter of the law. deal with it. its hilarious how much you all are a bunch of pathetic cry babies. especially with all the "someone please take out Brady" talk you were spouting off before the game.

oh the irony in the reactions here is amazing. didnt half of you just spend a week asking someone to "just take the 15 yards" and intentionally injure Brady?? the second someone takes the exact shot you were calling for you start tripping over yourselves crying and complaining about the "audacity" and "respect"

not yet. He's throwing for 44 more yards per game and 1% better completion % and an identical 112 rating to last year

since becoming the player he is now, Edelman only has 20 TD over 4 seasons...6, 4, 7, and 3. Edelman is the 'move the chains' crutch. However, Edelman is not the only receiver Brady throws open, throws to spots expecting him there, etc. He does that with ALL receivers. It's why not everyone fits in with NE because as a receiver you need to read defenses like a QB to know where to be and when to meet the ball.

factually incorrect. 21st in YPA and 19th in YPC last year and 19th in completion %. TD/INT ratio is a garbage stat because of the point of this thread. his INT is artificially low because he refuses to make any throws except the most basic and obviously open ones. Never leads receivers and never throws anyone open. He has no ability to make decisions based on pre-snap reads and how the D is set up. The good QBs know who will be open, when and where before the snap

the non volume driven stats arent any better. 2016 season he ranked: 19th in completion % 21st in yards per attempt 19th in yards per completion 18th in QB rating 25th in 4th quarter comebacks 27th in game winning drives
