Tom Brady is a "fraidy cat" Tom Fraidy Brady I hope TB reads this, it may not be directly from a Giants player but some have implied it.

Just call New England Patriots QB Tom Brady, who can be one nervous cat, Tom 'Fraidy' - NY Daily News

om Brady may be NFL royalty with three Super Bowl rings and his super model wife and the SoCal mansion big enough to have a sleepover with all his Patriots teammates, but sources say he is still human.

I spoke to an NFL assistant coach Thursday whose team did extensive film study of what the Jets did to Brady in their playoff victory last year.The coach’s report was startling for a future Hall of Famer who might be the second best quarterback in NFL history after Joe Montana.

The problem i have with these *** holes is that they'll disappear if and when the pats beat the Giants, they'll be nowhere to be found.

I know the plays the article is talking about, and Brady did start to go down expecting to be hit when nobody was even near him. However, while he did that against the NYGs in the Super bowl, the Ravens two years ago, and the Jets last year, he DOESN'T usually do that. Usually, he is so focused, and is cool and calm and simply slides, and completes the pass. The normal Tom Brady is the opposite of Fraidy Brady. If we get the "normal" Tom Brady in the Super Bowl, we will be fine.

I'm not talking about QB sneaks. I'm talking about running from the pocket

I hope Brady retires soon. I can't believe his own so called fans are suggesting that the man is a coward.

Not one person in this thread has suggested that.

Brady doesn't get the credit he has earned for toughness, he never has and it has gotten much worse since his knee was blown out on an illegal hit. This seems to have given certain people an excuse to make unsupportable allegations about his toughness, such as saying he is somehow less tough since the knee injury, to rationalize their existing animosity towards him. It stands in contrast to the facts.

- In the 2009 - 2010 season, i.e., in the very first season following the one he lost due to the illegal hit on his knee, Brady played with fractured ribs and a broken finger on his throwing hand. I know this was confirmed in published reports.

- Also in the 2009 preseason, many people believe - I don't know if this was ever confirmed - that Haynesworth gave Brady a separated shoulder that he played with all that season.

- There is some speculation out there that he is currently playing with a separated shoulder.

In all this time, the only games he has missed were after the knee injury. So, I think the record shows that this guy has played through fairly significant injuries, multiple times, including after that knee injury.
