have read through this site for years, just thought I would bring something up that kills me everyday. I live in LA now, grew up 15 minutes from Foxboro, but can't tell you the amount of aholes who tell me Tommy is a system guy...

My theory, and alot of others, fantasy football...Scrubs, national radio guys, espn here and there talk about Brady and the Pat's system. Kills me, did the system work against Carolina in the SB??? alll brady. how about in Pitts in AFC game in 04...ALL BRADY....no one gets it except Pats fans, hate it, ranting here...but know I am among brothers on this site who hear the same **** from guys they know.

Love Belichick, but we wouldn't have won anything without Tom, c'mon we all know it, it is easy....any old pat fan, old school, etc

OTOH isn't just about every NFL superstar a system guy, San Diego plays to the strengths of LT... if they did not then he would not be as successful, does that make him a system guy?? Indy plays to the strengths of Peyton, does that make him a system guy?? Baltimore plays to the strenths of Ed reed and Ray Lewis, does that make them system guys??

The reality is well coached teams play to the strengths of their players, if that makes them system guys then who cares. This whole system stuff gets way too much play, it is what it is the NFL. The system of the team meets the needs of the players and thus the team.. this gets way too much play and discussion, and a team that does not know how to do this or does not do this is rarely successful.

If Brady is a system quarterback....then when doesn't every team just spend there cap money on defense.....and draft any sixth round QB....and have him throw to scrub receivers.


Presto: Championship team

Toms already dealt with more systems and far lesser surrounding offensive talent then Manning.

What does that make Manning?

Well, people that say Brady is a system QB are basically just jealous. Brady never came into the league with manning's or Elway's pedigree.

System QB's are the Trent Dilfer's of the world. Surround them with a good D, a strong run game and tell them to not lose the game.

Tommy has done this in most years w/o a strong run game and no name receivers. Heck, he won 2 SB's with Smith at RB.

Brady's composure, the way he spreads the ball around, his knack for the big play, those are not system QB skills. His ball fake skills, his leadership skills, the list goes on and on.

He has the the league in passing yards and passing TD's. Enough said.

This offense should be amazing this year. I am not sure we realize what Moss, Welker and Stallworth will bring to this team. Also, their additions will make the gaffney's and Caldwell's the 5th and 6th WR's. No more Fred Colemans and Kelvin Kight's.

Let the critics whine, we'll just keep winning with our "system QB".

I am so sick of the arguement that Brady success is a product of this offensive system and a superior defense giving TB the opportunities to score.

You need brains and talent to execute an NFL offense. You need guts and and a killer instinct to win championships.

Why can't people see that?

That's the point....they don't want to see it. Or admit it for that matter.
