Brady has the rings, but not the stats?

Also, whatever Belichick was doing with those cameras deserves condemnation. Since that day, Brady has gone from being pretty darn good to arguably the most dominating sports figure in professional sports, with that ridiculous ratio. The team is average 6 points more per game on offense. They now win four out of every five games, rather than three out of four. Damn you, BB!!!!

Tom Brady defies the law of averages

If he played in a dome or warm weather, he'd be the GOAT, hands down. To me, he is anyways. Manning can have all the statistical advantages a dome and warm weather afford him, but unless he can add some more rings, he shouldn't be included in the GOAT discussion at all.

all that Manning has is the advantage in counting #s. Brady and Manning are now tied for career QB rating.

Brady now has the stats and the rings.

Agreed. It just annoys me how some people point to certain stats, which are often awful indicators. Like yards. Obviously the QB should throw for some yards. But if it's too high, it often indicates the team was trailing for a lot of the season. In fact, Brady's one of the few QBs that I've noticed with a winning record in 300+ yard games because he gets them in the context of the game, and we often use short passes as an extension of the running game. But most QBs rack up those huge yardage games in losses, yet that's one of the first numbers people point to when evaluating QBs.

Deus Irae

Anyone who uses pure yardage to make the evaluation needs to defend Testaverde > Montana. If they can't do that, pure yardage doesn't hold up.

And Jon Kitna's close to breaking the 30,000 yard club. Jon Kitna!

Just like to point out that Tom has a higher TD-Int ratio this year (7.25) than in 07 (6.25).

SEPatsFan

Fewer low percentage/high risk throws downfield.

I'd also like to point out that the 6.25 ratio is the highest in NFl history.

So basically, Tom = beast.
