The rule changes have been very slanted towards the offense and blowing on a QB hard now will get you a flag. so i can stop hearing how Namath was horrible because the AFL of his day encouraged bombs at the expense of INTs?
Guest K-GunJimKelly12 Posted August 20, 2018 Posted August 20, 2018 Brady is better than Kelly was but, as I stated in the Brady not greatest of all-time thread, I wholeheartedly believe that Brady would not have had the success in the 80's and 90's that he did today. I think Montana or Marino in this Era would be as successful as Brady. I don't think Brady is the clear cut number 1.
HT02 Posted August 20, 2018 Posted August 20, 2018 I don't think you could make a case that Kelly is better than Brady but I think you could for Montana, Unitas, Marino and maybe Elway.

He’s discussed by anyone that knows anyone about football as the best or if not the best, he’s in the conversation. Every time. He's not in the conversation because he's not even a football player, just a kitty who throws a ball. 1

I think that Brady has the talent to have got rid of the ball on time in those days, no problem at all. I do however think that he would have been beaten half to death by late hits. Players must pay these hefty fines themselves now so the late hits are less common. Today, receivers own the middle. Jack Tatum, Steve Atwater, Ronnie Lott, etc. owned it back in the day and that makes a huge difference. I do however respectfully disagree about Marino being the best of all time. I disagree. They did throw flags for late hits in the 80’s and 90’s. The legitimate hits ( which included shots to the chin with the helmet that were rarely if ever called) were a heck of a lot more vicious . There was no “ Brady rule” , the strike zone for a hitting a QB was much bigger and grounding wasn’t legalized until ‘93. NFL teams ran different style passing games, and as you wisely pointed out the middle of the field wasn’t for everybody. QB concussions were probably a lot more common. Brady’s career would have been a lot shorter.

Except for Montana and Bradshaw, has anyone played at such a high level in important games as Brady? In any era?

C.Biscuit97 Posted August 20, 2018 Posted August 20, 2018 This is a thread that would only exist on a Bills board. Those Bills teams had way more talented than those Pats teams. Kelly was surrounded by HOFers. Minus Moss, Brady played with a bunch of Jags. Also check Kelly’s postseason stats. He kinda sucked in big games. Brady just lost a SB where he passed for 400 yards. Also if Kelly didn’t force throws in the 1st SB and just ran Thurman against a 2 man front, that game doesn’t come down to that kick. im glad Kelly is recovering and has become a better man. He’s the best Bills qb ever but isn’t even in the same conversation as Brady, who is a whiny tool but the best ever.

Agreed, Brady played with temps at WR and RB, with a few exceptions, and played outdoors to cut into his stats. the AFC only gave Kelly one serious challenge, the Carlton Bailey tipped passed game against Denver.

Yep. Football is a team sport. Frankly, Marino was never the reason his team didn't win a SB. Ditto Kelly. The only SB I thought Jim could've done more was the Giants. But, that was a team "effort". Parcells & Belichick took Marv & the Bills coaches to the woodshed. Edited August 20, 2018 by Billsfanatic8989 1
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted August 20, 2018 Posted August 20, 2018 18 hours ago, Billsfanatic8989 said: My cousin thinks Brady is not better than Kelly. The reason is: A) Kelly was more mobile. B) Belichick is a better coach than Levy. C) 4 straight SB appearances. D) Deflategate/Spygate Can any case be made Kelly is just as good, if not better, than Brady? Jim played in an era that wasn't as kind to Qb's. Not really much of a case. Kelly wasn’t even the greatest in his era, meaning, Elway, Marino, Montana, Young, Farve and Manning, maybe even Moon would all need to be considered better than Brady too. Thats not selling anywhere
Troll Toll Posted August 20, 2018 Posted August 20, 2018 (edited) So much ESPN brainwash in this thread. Matt Cassell stepped in and was BETTER than Brady in that system, yet was a total scrub on other teams. The system revolves around cheating and on any other team TODAY (let alone past eras) Brady would look like a scrub. Peyton would have at least 10-15 Super Bowls if he played in that system and had the benefit of all that cheating. Any success related to that team under Bellicheck is meaningless.

frostbitmic Posted August 20, 2018 Posted August 20, 2018 I don't want the face of my franchise, my QB, to be a whiny little female dog. I'd take Jim Kelly 10 x out of 10 against whiny B word Brady.
PlayoffsPlease Posted August 20, 2018 Posted August 20, 2018 Jim Kelly the guy, over Tom Brady the guy. Tom Brady's results over Jim Kelly's results.

Graham may have invented the position. Unitas invented football. 1
