I will maintain that he is the best QB in the NFL right now. 10 years from now, he'll be listed in the Top 10 possibly Top 5 in all time greats. There's more to being a great QB than putting up purty stats in shootout games.
Hollywood Donahoe Posted October 19, 2004 Posted October 19, 2004 ...i think anyone who is supposed to be "the best QB ever" should be a larger reason his team wins. The Patriots were 7-19 in their last 26 and among the worst teams in the NFL before Brady took over. Since then, the Patriots are 45-12, have won two Super Bowl, and are without a doubt the best team in the NFL. Without Brady = 7-19, horrid in all ways. With Brady = 45-12, one of the best teams ever. See a connection here?

One of the best. Top 3? Maybe not. Top 10? Absolutly.

See a connection here? 76398[/snapback] Fans of other teams need to recognize facts and respect them, or their other opinions become diluted with childish bias. If asked which QB you would want to engineer a 99 yard come-from-behind two minute effort to win the biggest game of your season, anyone not saying "Tom Brady" hasn't been watching much football, or doesn't want to admit that he's The Man.

BillnutinHouston Posted October 19, 2004 Posted October 19, 2004 As far as I'm concerned, until he loses he's not overrated.
MadBuffaloDisease Posted October 19, 2004 Posted October 19, 2004 brady is overrated? on what grounds? 76282[/snapback] I don't know. The Patsy's 2002 season?
nodnarb Posted October 19, 2004 Posted October 19, 2004 I don't know. The Patsy's 2002 season? 76440[/snapback] lamest football argument ever. get over your denial.
Rubes Posted October 19, 2004 Posted October 19, 2004 Although I am not here to argue about Brady being or not being one of the greatest quarterbacks ever, I am here to say that I thoroughly enjoyed that picture, as well as watching the video replay of it on ESPN. There are few things in life as enjoyable as watching Brady get splattered so hard he coughs up the football and his helmet at the same time (not to mention the padding over his earhole as well).
Guest Guest Posted October 19, 2004 Posted October 19, 2004 To those who are questioning Brady's passing abilities take note that Brady is on pace to eclipse the passing totals of notable QB's such as Montana, Elway, Kelly, Fouts, Aikman, Tarkenton, Young, Bradshaw, etc. He's even ahead of Vince Ferragamo. LOL Brady's 10 year projection totals are (approx) 3200 completions for 35,000 yards, 250 TD's and 130 INT's. Brady would better what Jim Kelly did in 1 less seasons. In 11 years, Kelly completed 2874 passes for 35, 467 yards, 237 TD's and 175 INT's.
Albany,n.y. Posted October 19, 2004 Posted October 19, 2004 Brady is the QB who one can truly say JUST WINS
mcjeff215 Posted October 19, 2004 Posted October 19, 2004 ...."The replay revealed that the helmet gained control of the ball beyond the first down maker making it first down, New England" . 76290[/snapback] That's what I was going to say... "Upon further review, the ball landed IN the player's helmet, which is considered an eligible receiver down-field. Number 24 defense proceeded to kick the helmet after the play was blown dead at the point of reception. Personal foul, 15 yards. Automatic first down New England."
MadBuffaloDisease Posted October 19, 2004 Posted October 19, 2004 lamest football argument ever. get over your denial. 76444[/snapback] Deal with the facts, nob. Bad defense=no playoffs. Great defense=playoffs and SB wins. See the connection? And what are you? The ultimate Brady homer? I haven't seen a Pats fan ONE try and even defend the above, but yet you did (and failed miserably). That's not to say he's not a good QB, but that he's overrated.
PromoTheRobot Posted October 19, 2004 Posted October 19, 2004 I have to watch Marcia Brady almost every week...and it pains me to say it, but he's f***in' incredible! There is no QB in the NFL who sees all of his receivers and can throw a dart to them anywhere on the field. Oh and he can do all that with 3 or 4 defensive players chasing him. Anyone who doubts this guy never actually sees him play. PTR
PromoTheRobot Posted October 19, 2004 Posted October 19, 2004 I don't know. The Patsy's 2002 season? 76440[/snapback] He only won Super Bowls in every other season and is in the middle of a 20-game win streak. His over all winning pct. is .800. But he did go 9-7 in 2002. Yep, he sucks. PTR
MadBuffaloDisease Posted October 19, 2004 Posted October 19, 2004 So sayeth the closet Pats fan. Oh and yes, I've watched a LOT of Pats games over the years, which is why I say what I say. And re-read what I wrote above. He's a good QB, but he's way overrated, and without an amazing defense and coaching staff, he's not nearly as good.

There are few things in life as enjoyable as watching Brady get splattered so hard he coughs up the football and his helmet at the same time (not to mention the padding over his earhole as well). 76451[/snapback] That's certainly something I can agree with. He's a great QB, but there's nobody I'd rather se get pounded into the earth. I hate the fuggin pats.

To me, win loss records count. Execution counts. What WR that Brady throws to is better than Moulds? Hmmm? What RB in those two SBs is as good as Henry or McGahee? None. I rest my case. I hate the SOB, but he's not overrated.
Guest Guest Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 That's not to say he's not a good QB, but that he's overrated. 76572[/snapback] Overrated? Do you know that Brady is on pace to post passing totals that are better than QB greats such as Montana, Elway, Kelly, Fouts, Aikman, Tarkenton, Young, Bradshaw and most every other QB that has played this game? That's right. Brady's 10 year projection totals are (approx) 3200 completions for 35,000 yards, 250 TD's and 130 INT's. Such 10 year totals is better than anything Jimbo put up and is better than anything every QB not named Marino and Moon did. And that doesn't include Brady's 2 super bowl wins where he was named game MVP. So, if Brady is overrated, what are Montana, Elway, Kelly, Fouts, Aikman, Tarkenton, Young, Bradshaw ? Duds!
