You must have snoozed through the Baltimore game. That was a brawl.
which one? the one at the beginning of the season, or when it actually mattered? I watched both of them

I dunno....watched that one, too....the pats took a physical beating in that one...and needed a little help in the end to win it
Yeah, I'm not sure what part of that game took a physical toll on the Ravens. Neither our defense nor our offense was a beacon of physicality in that game. The Ravens were the team laying the wood, if memory serves me correctly.

Ok, you would have taken 09 Brady over 07 or 06 Brady? Just want to make sure we're talking about the same thing here.
No, I must have misunderstood your question. I thought you were comparing him to other teams' quarterbacks from '09.

The fact that he's coming off of an injury is irrelevant, what he does on the field is all that matters, if 09 Brady isn't as good as a different Brady his performance isn't magically altered by taking into account that he was injured, whatever his performance is, it is what it is.
Brady wasn't a so-called "stat monster" last season, he was an efficient quarterback who performed well and led the team. I find the arguments against him, including yours, rather vague.

I'm actually not arguing against Brady, I'm arguing against getting to wrapped up in stats that only tell part of the story, a great pass tainted by receiver error is judged on par with an awful pass thrown right into the arms of the DB where the receiver isn't even close to the ball. Hugging certain stats might make someone feel good but I don't understand why they're doing that, especially when it flies in the face of common sense. No one who knows the Patriots would want 09 Brady as their 2nd choice, so why is there the need to point to those stats and proclaims it his 2nd best year?
Long story short I'm just against pounding Kool-Aid, I hope that makes sense.

Some guy "while Brady had a good season statistically he didn't look entirely comfortable and made some questionable, almost unBrady like plays"
Homer "TOM BRADY IS THE BEST QB EVER, SO MUCH BETTER THAN SATAN MANNING (SEE HOW SATAN RHYMES WITH PEYTON) HE IS SO GOOD AND YOU WONT EVEN KNOW HOW GOOD UNTIL HE RETIRES AND YOU SEE HOW BAD WE ARE WITHOUT HIM. HOW DARE YOU QUESTION HIM EVER IT IS WHAT IT IS IN BB WE TRUST"
Nobody is saying he was bad last year. Just that pre-injury Brady probably would have done better

Considering that pre-injury Brady set all time single season marks at the quarterback position, that pretty much goes without saying.
