The other two were against the Ravens with one of them being a Hail Mary at the end of regulation.

Exactly one of Brady's picks was intended for a player still on the team.

Felger reiterated his contention that this team lost it's soul following the 2006 season and regained it in 2010. Troy Brown said that absolutely was true. A lot of us sensed or feared that down the stretch in 2007, but many more wouldn't hear of it... Luckily Bill figured it out and he literally reasserted himself on and off the field as the leader of a talented but balanced and complimentary decidedly blue collar football team selflessly dedicated to one goal only, winning football games and ultimately championships. He got away from the veteran FA fixes who increasingly were looking not for a ring so much as a means to extend or enhance or revive their career contractual potential.

There will still be some bumps in the road. Not everyone will embrace the Deion Branch lesson in it's entirety, they will still want their money and inevitably some of them will have to go to get it. Vince is an example of a guy who just couldn't embrace the leadership role until he got his deal. The good news is he's also the kind of guy who once that was taken care of (and at a pretty reasonable rate) will give you 110%. Mankins is a similarly wired guy, and that is why Bill knew he could get away with waiting him out. He cannot stand to play uncompetitively since his principles won't allow it on or off the field. Hopefully they can reach some financial compromise that works for both sides 'cause I don't think Logan would be truly happy elsewhere.

Big deal, Hoyer put up a 111.7 yesterday.

Trade him for a 2nd rounder immediately!!!

Nice job compiling this list. Brady not only owns two of the top five single-season passer rating seasons, but the cast of characters he had to accomplish this in 2010 with is lacking in star power compared to the other 4. Now all of those Manning apologists who cling to their "chosen one's" stats have a little less to grapple with after Brady's sublime performance this season.

It is amazing considering the people he had to work with and that he's the only one who has 2 such seasons in the top 10. God, I just hope that Brady has a lot of years left in him, he has in him to rewrite a lot of records.

This bodes really well for the future. I am sure that if Gronk stays healthy (crosses fingers), he will go down as one of the best TEs of all time. Hernandez might also be up there. The only thing going against them is they might take some numbers from each other .

His 0.8% int rate is #2 overall. #1 among QB who started the entire season.

Damon Huard went 0.4% in 2006 with KC. 148 of 244 1878 yards 11 TDs 1 int. So Huard had an 11-1 TD to int rate, also better than Tom's 9-1 rate. However he only started 8 games and played in 10.

So among QBs who played an entire season Tom tops both, but DH played enough to be statically significant on the all time lists.

Glad someone brought this up. Number should have been 3, dropped picks in some games notwithstanding.

I think getting rid of Moss is the main reason why Brady has only thrown 4 interceptions. Brady has incredible accuracy and arm strength on short/medium ranged passes and Welker/Branch are the perfect receivers for Brady's skill set.

I also give a bunch of credit to BJGE and Woodhead for giving the Pats offense enough versatility so that they didn't have to rely as much on the pass.
