OK, I need to vent. This has been bothering me for a while.
I just don't get what, what seems to be every teams (fans) obsession is with comparing their QB to Brady?!?!? Go the the Colts sights and there is a debate about Manning vs. Brady(daily). Go to the Eagles sight and yet another debate, McNabb vs. Brady (last week was, "who would you take in the BIG game" - of course they said McNabb, ummm, we all know how he does in the NFC Championship BIG games, but they still would take McNabb). The Rams sight has a good one going today about how Bulger is a much more superior leader than Brady and how Brady just can't pull off what Bulger did against Seattle...and of course the Jets are classic with their weekly Brady trashing threads and what I would call kinda on the sick side Chad adoring posts.
What really amazes me is the fact that Pats boards never start off comparisons with Brady to any QB in the league - it just does not happen. I think this means, we are completely and 100% satisfied with our guy under center! Everyone else is trying to trash Brady because they just can not accept that a 6th round draft pick is this damned good at everything the Pats ask of him - On and off the field. He makes few mistakes when asked to win a game and few mistakes when asked to answer a question. He is a unique star and everyone(other than Pats fans) wants to see him fail to say "see, I told you so". Except, every year Brady shuts them all up because he works his butt off to get even BETTER! Who does that? Not many at this level, not with the ego's involved. What QB's other than Brady can you say continually say "I need to do this to get BETTER"???? Not one of them! Does he care about stats, NO! Does he care about Pro Bowls, NO! He just cares about W's and get them. That is ALL that matters.
Someone started a thread a while back about what makes Brady strive to get better when he has already won the big games...this is the answer. He has one huge chip on his shoulder to prove all of these naysayers wrong!
I honestly do not know if I would say he is outright the BEST QB in the league, but he is the BEST QB for the Pats. Nuff Said!
