fan_in_tx Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I would state that Kelly would not fair as well in the Brady era, Brady would not fair as well in the Kelly era. The defense of the 90's and the ability to hit the QB would have had a greater impact on Brady. Would he have been as successful without the tuck rule and if a flag would not have been thrown every time someone breathed on him? Kelly OTOH would be more like a Carson Palmer in the Brady Era.. Just my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heitz Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 (edited) I would have traded up in the First round (obviously knowing what I know) for Brady, if only to hear fans complain about what a stupid move it was. Then, like 15 years later when we're STILL winning, I'd totally throw it in everyone's face. Edited May 3, 2017 by Heitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepsicat17 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Kelly or Brady + cheating coach and organization? Brady is awesome no doubt but we will never know the extent that the cheating has had on the team as a whole. We don't know the results without all the Shady **** that was going down so I'll stick with Kelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldmanfan Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Love Jimbo but this is an easy one. Has to be Brady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malazan Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 (edited) Kelly. Brady never becomes Brady without Belichick. I think a QB has to have the nature to be great QB, but I think there are very, very few who get there without nurture.

without a drought Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Brady, because he's younger. 57 year old rookies usually never amount to much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yav Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 (edited) How can we answer this? Would they be both playing on those teams of the 80/90s? And in that era? If so Kelly all day long. QB were allowed to be hit back then and Brady isn't as tuff as Jimbo. If we're talking today, then it's hard to argue with Brady's success but I do wonder how good Jim would be playing today. Perhaps some weren't able to see what Kelley did in the USFL? Edited May 3, 2017 by Yav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I wish Kelly had played in the era where they protected quarterbacks like anything and opened up the passing game. And that the Bills had a DC like Belichick. Oh yeah, and HGH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
