Tom Brady proved why he is the greatest player to ever grace the sporting World.

The Colts are doing a better job proving that the title belongs to Peyton, and Aaron Rodgers is easily the best QB in the league this year so far. Dinking and dunking down the field against a tired Dallas D after the Dallas offense threw win the towel doesn't mean shit.
I really hope GB goes 19-0. And Indy goes 0-16. With Campbell out and the trade dealine looming I'd love to see Manning jump over to the Raiders. He'll be healthy for the Playoffs and Oakland may very well win it all.

Oh, if we're playing that game again, I hope the Pats GM threatens to murder every GM in football if they don't give him their best defensive player.
He's matched Marino/Shula with over 30 less losses. He hasn't lost a regular season home game since 2006. All that with a far inferior defense than they had during the Superbowl years. You can't just throw anybody in there & accomplish those things. No doubt the Packers are the best team in football & I can honestly see them going 19-0, but their defense isn't statistically the worst in the NFL (like the Pats D). It's more like the ones that won the Pats those rings years ago.

Defenses (and wins) aside, Aaron Rodgers is playing the game better than Tom Brady. I'm not a great system makes that star less credible guy. Jordan had the best system in the NBA in the 90s. You'll never hear me say he wasn't the best player as well. And I hated Jordan adn the Bulls. But a lot of QBs can throw dink and dunk passes to 6'8 TEs after sitting in the pocket for 5 seconds. There is nothing Tom Brady does that Aaron Rodgers cannot do himself. There's plenty Rodgers does that Brady simply cannot do.

You clearly are a "great system makes a star less credible guy". Because under that system he's as good as Rodgers. If I was a GM? I'd pick Rodgers all day, I won't lie. But Brady is easily the second best QB in the NFL.
Lunatic:
Anyways, I don't think the Colts get #1 anyways. I think that will go to the Dolphins or Rams. Colts have been showing slow signs of life lately. They'll win 1-3 games. Dolphins are without Henne for the season and Rams are now without Bradford for an undisclosed amount of time.
Either way, Dolphins get #1

I think Brees could do as good as Brady in NE but I don't think Brady could do as good in NO as Brees. Same with Ben. I'd even say that Cutler could do better on NE than Brady could on Chicago. Brady absolutely fucking sucks when under up the middle pressure. I mean he's not even decent by any NFL standards. Cutler still makes some things happen under that crumbling o-line.
Just look at Matt Cassel when he plays in that system and when he doesn't. Brady is definitely better than Cassel but in KC this year Brady, KC would still be 2 and 3 just they are with Matt. With Peyton (healthy) KC would have won at least two of their first three games. SD and either Buf or Detroit. And the same way I predicted 11-5 for NE is '08, and 11-5 for KC in '10, and a complete meltdown for the Colts in '11, is the same way I'm saying what I just said.
Eventually you're going to have to take my track record into account. Call my theory bogus but my predictions have come true. This year I said the Chiefs and cassel would crumble and they did. I said Orton wouldn't last more than a few games and that's what happened. And I predicted Buffalo to be a major player with a possible playoff spot waiting for them.
Is this all based on luck?

I mean, it's kind of simple. NFL teams have footage. Hours of it. If you told me if I did something one way it would work, almost guarenteed, why wouldn't I do it? Teams see it's the best offense in the league & don't try to mirror it at all? Pretty ridiculous, considering even a casual fan as yourself can break down the system..
Clearly Bill runs things the way he does because of Brady. I'm not saying Peyton Manning couldn't do a similar job. I'd even say Drew could do it. But they don't, the stats show that. Sports is a stat driven thing. Legacies are built off of them & just because in your imagination you see Cam Newton winning ten MVPs & nine rings if he played with the current Pats team, doesn't mean he did it & doesn't mean we should just give him credit for doing it.
Like you said, you wouldn't discredit Jordan, yet, you discredit Brady. Basically what you're saying is T-Mac or Vince Carter in their primes could of lead the Bulls to six rings. I mean Jordan had a great system right?

MVP candidate Brady has never actually lead his team to shit, and anything less than a superbowl ring is shit. The Pats won their Superbowls when Brady was still of a middle of the road role player QB. Did he even get any MVP votes during those 3 seasons? Did he deserve any?
He earned and deserved votes for his play in 05, 06, 07, and last year but the Pats never fared any better than the Colts those years.
That being said; the system is great for QBs with limitations to look amazing. We all saw the limitations Kyle Orton had, and cassel had his first year in KC and has now. But under the Wies/McDaniels Erhardt-Perkins they all look like studs, stat-wise.
The other aspect of the Pats is the o-line. It's simply put together better than most teams. Of course it's not appealing to say the Pats won 3 rings and had great later success by winning te line of scrimmage battle. It's very sexy to say the QB puts the team on it's back, but in reality Tom Brady doesn't put 40 guys in his back any more than Cassel did in 08.
It's simple; Brady is a great QB for a great team, but a terrible QB on a terrible team. Manning is a great QB on a great team and a great QB for a terrible team. And that's why the who's better discussion is as stupid as Dan Marino vs Jim Plunkett, who has two more rings than Marino.
