Re: We DO take Brady for granted
I suppose that some people might take him for granted. He is my favorite football player ever. I will never take him for granted. Steve Grogan and many other former players were wonderful, but didn't get the job done ultimately, and that little bit extra makes Brady special to me beyond words.
My heart is heavy seeing the way he is often surrounded by a mediocre offensive line and below average WRs or RBs. But that is my opinion. He would have won championships with the 1976-1978 Pats, IMO. Or the 1985 Pats or 1996 Pats, IMO.
I think he is a once in a lifetime player for most franchises, a modern day Joe Montana.
I want him to succeed every game because he is still overlooked and underrated by the media and the rest of the fans around the country. He is what the Pro Bowl was invented for, yet he is carefully shunned around the country by media and fans alike.
I think that he is overcoming more these last two seasons than any other QB in the game today, from mediocre protection, to taking a beating and playing with gruesome injuries, to unfamiliar and average WRs, to constant coaching changes. When I say overcoming, I mean getting to the playoffs and still being competitive despite the bullseye on his back, and despite the shortcomings of his team at different positions. He seems able to work with virtually ANYBODY on offense and field a competitve team. He could be put on almost any offense in the league today and make the team decent. Even when the Pats are terrible on defense, he keeps the team in the game. Just look at 2002 and 2005 (first three quarters of the season). He played good both those seasons.
