A friend IMs me to say that:

Jerry Rice says he'd like to see what Tom Brady would do without "Great teams behind him"

Anyone know where these comments came from? What a moron.

EDIT: They came from his new book. Which I now assume will be his last book.

It's all those Pro-Bowl legends on the roster.

I'd have liked to see what Jerry Rice could have done without great teams behind him.

But I never get what I want.

JoePats

I agree. Good post.

Normally Jerry Rice is pretty positive and complimentary about Brady and the Pats. I'm kind of surprised.

There is not a single player in the history of the NFL that couldn't thank at least a half dozen guys for their success.

Oddly enough, for all the accolaides thrown SF's offense's way, they consistently had better defenses that NE has had this decade. No one wants to bring this up, though.

Brady'sButtBoy

I'll give Rice a break here. He did play on some of the greatest teams of all time while receiving from maybe the greatest QB of all time, I'd say it's natural to be defensive of his fellow players. What do we expect? That Rice should embrass himself and say, "just imagine how great Tom Brady would be if he had me to throw to"?

You can bet that guys like Bruschi and Brown, years from now, will defend their former teammates with a vigor approaching the unreasonable. And you know what? We'll just love it!

Just throwing it out there, maybe he was trying to be complimentary by saying he would like to see what Brady could do without great teams (meaning he thinks he could still get it done).

FWIW - I haven't read what or seen the quote so I don't know what context it was said in.

Probably what Montana did in 1985 and 1986...one and done. Those were clearly his weakest teams and look what happened.

On a related note: Hey Jerry, nice fumble on your way to the endzone in the 49-3 loss. Untouched, nonetheless.

Before people jump in rice, I like to see the entire passage..

On a side note, he was on ESPN about 1 month ago and asked what QB he would like to play with.. He responded "Tom Brady".. And then the interviewer pushed Mannings name and he still responded "Tom Brady" and continue with high praise with him. Now I witnessed this with my own eyes.. So I think we are jumping on him for no reason..
