New England Fin said:So Brady is great because his team won the Super Bowl? I think Dilfer, Rypien, McMahon all showed us you don't have to be great QB's to win a Super Bowl. If you put Brett Favre, Peyton Manning or Steve McNair on the Pats team last year any one of them would have won the Super Bowl. Put Brady on the Packers, Colts or Titans and how good are any of those teams? Answer is not very good. Brady is not asked to do as much as the great ones are. He plays on a very good team but he is not an elite QB. He was the 10th rated QB in the NFL last year. He was the 5th rated QB in the playoffs last year. If Brady is great than all of those guys ranked ahead of him are great too, including Kitna, Green, Brooks, etc. Now if you are comparing him to Fiedler, yes he looks great. But he does not look great next to the likes of Favre, Manning and McNair.
You hit that one right on the ***. Brady is a good QB, but sure as hell not great. He could not excel on many other teams around the league. He has a genius coach who knows how to use his strengths. Just because he has two superbowl rings does not mean jack. Bob Griese has 2 rings and no one here says he is better than marino.
