This guy is not Peyton Manning.
In fact, I'd venture to say he's not a great quarterback at all.
He just has one heck of a team backing him up. And thats why the Patriots are so great. And they get to the superbowl. Because they dont have one or two or even three great players. They have a team of good players who work so well together.
Theres a reason Brady didnt go until the sixth round. He isnt amazing. He just fits perfectly into the system that BB has. The guy has all the time to throw in the world behind that line. He's got recievers who for some reason or another, always catch the god forsaken ball, the defense is tough as nails, and together, the team works. You put Brady behind our line or perhaps any other line in the NFL and I'll tell you what happens. Remember the MNF game when we beat them last year? Remember that HORRENDOUS throw he made that was intercepted at the end of the game? You get pressure on him, rattle him, and he turns into Jay Fiedler.
So where am I going with this? My point is, maybe Feeley and Frerotte arent great quarterbacks either. But maybe the teams who have won the superbowl the last few years havent had amazing quarterbacks, but amazing teams, that could work together. And the teams with quarterbacks we'd die for (Indianapolis, Philly, Atlanta, Minnesota, etc) always come up short. If Frerotte or Feeley fit into the system and our team works together like a well oiled machine, we will stomp our way to the top.
So this saturday, I hope that Saban doesnt go for Alex Smith, a guy I've been supporting for a long time. Because a Franchise QB like Dan Marino is always fun to root for. But how many SB's did we win?
Saban is serious, and I think he realizes that its the team, not the QB, that wins games.

1) Bill and Ted's Excellent Journey
2) Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey
That is because he basically played his true self in those movies.
Keanu will always be Ted "Theodore" Logan!!!

testtubetimmy said:Listen, I'm saying hes a GOOD QB. Im saying he's not God like all you seem to think, in fact the entire world worships the ground that this guy treads on.
Yes. Hes good.
So is his team.
Making him great.
Im not "hating". Just saying that he's not SUPER QB. Hes just a good QB with a SUPER team and a few SUPER bowl rings.

silverloop13 said:Actually he is great. Great QBs make the great plays when they have to in big games. Remember the shootout against Carolina in the SB. Brady stepped up and delivered.
Saying a QB is only as good as his team is like saying saying a race car driver is as good as his car....no **** Sherlock. Its like that in any position in football. But you dont win 3 superbowls with an average QB. The guy has maybe one WR who would be a number 2 WR on any other team and never had a RB until last year.
Also this whole Joe Montana was only good bc of his supporting cast......please stop making yourselves look like football morons. The guy was great. I dont even have to make a case for it because its obvious to anyone with a brain. The whole " Hed never have won in Arizona" argument is BS .......San Fran WAS ARIZONA before Joe.

SkapePhin said:San Fran WAS ARIZONA before WALSH.. Face it, the San Fran organization was becoming top class when Joe came in.. He was coming into a great situation, much like Brady.. You really believe Montana would have won Multiple SBs in Arizona with some scrub coach and a terrible organization? I never said Montana wouldnt be a good QB, but I was just stating that GREAT Qbs are made with GREAT systems...
