tr1 Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 He is in the top three of the best qbs to ever play the game. This guy wins no matter who the cast is... No running game, mediocre WRs and he lays a licking on SD... I'm just wish he was a Redskin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thespaniard Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 If by lay a lickin you mean throw 3 picks and get some lucky breaks from a Charger team that made even more mistakes, then I'm with ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TODD Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 He's a great QB, but I don't think yesterday's performance validated it. He and the Patriots were beneficiaries of a lot of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westbrook36 Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Jabar Gaffney has 18 catches in two games of the playoffs. Roughly a season for Brandon Lloyd. Remember that argument all offseason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but when he needed to make throws, he made some seriously amazing throws. He threw 5 or 6 perfect deep outs to keep drives going, and that throw to Caldwell down the sideline was absolutely perfect. True, he should have never had the shot, but you can't blame him for that...that's on McCree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westbrook36 Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Brady is just good. ****. I don't even know how to describe him. He isn't awe inspiring like Manning or even McNabb/Vince Young can be in stretches. 3rd and 10, he makes the throw. Period. He lobs it 40 yards and its perfect. Fearless. I don't trust McNabb, Manning, or anyone other than Brady to make that throw. If he wins another SB, it is almost a crime. Dare we say first QB with 5 rings? It doesn't seem so farfetched.

TheMalcolmConnection Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I hate Brady. I'm just sick of the Pats in general. They're going to be the Cowboys of the mid-90s. A fanbase that is built simply on winning and will go away when they eventually start to suck in a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dockeryfan Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 If by lay a lickin you mean throw 3 picks and get some lucky breaks from a Charger team that made even more mistakes, then I'm with ya. Even when he plays a bad game, he still has the confidence of all the players. He's a very good leader on the field. And I'm not trying to idealize anything here. Are you saying he is not responsible for the comeback? Because I would disagree with you 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be...the man is insane. 4 UF receivers on his roster, and he's still kickin' ass. UF receivers are notorious for fizzling out in the NFL - he's got 4 of 'em. Charger defender holds onto that pick or bats the ball down and we're not having this discussion. Lets all stop licking Brady's b@lls. Yeah...but I was thinking about that on the way to work. Could that possibly be attributed to the aura of Brady? I mean, any other QB, you knock it down. But picking off the best QB maybe ever doesn't happen every day...I don't know. Just a thought I had.

Westbrook36 Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I wonder if Brady is tired of banging super hot girls. Seriously. The guy probably can get 365 "tens" a year. One a day is probably a gross underestimate. I wonder if he is bored with it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GibbsFactor Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 He's got my respect. Did you see his top ten moments yesterday on Sportscenter? Anyone of them would have been #1 for ANY other quarterback. He's got 10 of em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and add in how he plays behind one of the best o-lines in football and barely gets his jersey dirty in most games. I can name you 10 or 15 guys that could flourish in that system. He's the Emmit Smith of QB's...very, very good but with people around him making him look even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thespaniard Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Are you saying he is not responsible for the comeback? Because I would disagree with you 100%. No, I'm not saying that. But he definitely had some help on the comeback via the mistakes the Chargers made. Besides, if he doesn't have a terrible game, he doesn't have to make a comeback ya know?

Henry Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Sure the Chargers made some mistakes, but nevertheless very very few QBs would have won that game. Mistakes or not, San Diego is still a pretty darn good team. The QB Brady reminded me most of yesterday is Elway. You can shut him down for 56 minutes, but in those last four he'll kill you. Every time. I suppose if this win didn't improve his post-game record to what, 12-1, I could chalk his performance up to luck. But at some point you have to admit it's probably more than luck. We're way past that point with Brady, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides a good pass protection OL - the talent around brady is barely above average on offense. They are not a superb run blocking line, the RB's he has aren't studs and could barely get anything on SD and his WR's are complete crap. The way he makes bad recievers look good reminds me of Marino, except unlike Marino he's clutch like Montana. Emmitt had Aikman at QB, Irvin at WR, and one of the best OL(run and pass) ever in the history of the NFL. Sorry but it's an inane comparison. People need to stop hating on Brady. I'd pick him over any QB in the league right now. He doesn't have the natural physical tools of some but when it counts he's more money than anyone in the league and I'll take that over a Peyton Manning who when it counts in the clutch is nowhere to be found.

But at some point you have to admit it's probably more than luck. We're way past that point with Brady, IMHO. I can chalk this one up to some luck. Sure, in the other 11 postseason wins, Brady has been great. But that doesn't give him a free pass for me. Brady's comeback abilities didn't make McCree fumble that pick. Brady's comeback abilities did not make Marty lose a timeout on a horrible challenge. Those, and tons of other things, was luck factoring in. Now, granted, Brady still had to make the plays after that, but it still came down to some luck for him to even have a chance to win it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every QB, in every game, gets some luck. But not every QB wins 12 out of 13 games. In the playoffs. I'll tell you, when the Chargers scored to go ahead 21-13 and they showed Brady throwing the ball on the sidelines, I knew the Pats would win it. Every QB makes mistakes, but when the chips are down nobody playing the game today is better than Brady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grampi Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 This thread is silly. If the Chargers had even played a halfway decent game, they would've won by at least 2 TDs. I hope Manning and the Colts spank the crap out of the Brady Bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to discount Brady's postseason career. What he did in the first 11 wins was incredible. But he definitely needed some help yesterday. The last time Brady played even close to as bad as he did yesterday in the postseason was last year in his only loss, to Denver. What's the difference between a loss last year and a win this year? He was lucky to be playing a team that made more mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GibbsFactor Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 You can't expect a QB to single handily beat another team, the number one team, on the road, in a playoff game. I mean, hell, the Chargers did cough up some bad plays, but it's a testament to Brady that he scored those final 11 points. I can't say I'd rather have any other quarterback back there. Jabar Gaffney for crying out loud. He surely isn't Jerry Rice or even Taylor. Watson is overrated too. I'm telling you, that OL isn't all it's cracked up to be, they just protect Brady as hard as they can, yet another glaring contribution to the man's aura.

I just expect him to protect the ball and give his team a chance to win. He didn't protect the ball, and the Chargers gave him the chance to win. Heck, freakin Rex Grossman played better yesterday.
