Fouts is just angry that Brady booted him out of the top 10 for career passing yardage, and took 3 fewer seasons to do it.

Guys, keep in mind what's really going on here: the Patriots continued success is simply blowing the minds of many non-Pats fan NFL followers. You know how it is when there is another team, not the one you love, that has been there at the top for more than a few years. After a while you just get so sick of seeing them succeed, you just start hating everything about them. I know I felt that way eventually about the Chicago Bulls, the 49ers, the Canadiens, the Pinstripes, etc. You feel like, OK, I respected them at first, but its enough already! The Patriots have been at or near championship level for 11 years - 7 of those years making it at least to the Conference Championship game. I don't know if any franchise has ever sustained the level of excellence the Patriots have for this long. Even if "camera on the sidelines instead of where it was allowed to be"-gate hadn't happened, people would have invented other reasons to despise the Pats; hence Ayanbadejo's and Fouts' absurdities these past couple of days. Let's just take it as a perverse version of respect for our guys, and accept it will not end until well after the Patriots Reign ends.

Dan Fouts, the dellusional over-rated has-been.

We all have to forgive Dan as he is still haunted in his dreams by the face of Don Coryell standing an inch from his grill screaming PASS PASS PASS, don't run that ball. PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

It's nice Dan has been able to fill his post NFL career with the lucrative position of being a football commentator. It's not like he has any rings he needs to polish.

Some great stats posters brought up on this topic. I was aware that Brady was not even close to being the benefactor of many roughing the passer penalties, but had no idea it is as low as it is.

I wish someone had called in while DF was on and pointed out that the facts did not mesh with his argument. Then I would have loved to hear his stuttering rebuke of an attempt to save that smug bearded face.

Which if you think about how much these other QBs scramble the list really suggests it's being called evenly across the league. The only name you don't see is Rapelessburger but he missed a lot of games this year keeping his total down but I bet it's high in other years.

There's only two conclusions for Patriots fans on rookies. They are either a bust or being fitted for their bust in Canton.

This is just one of those things that has become a "truth" in the NFL by jealous haters repeating it over and over in a nazi-esque propaganda campaign against the Patriots, and more specifically Belichick and Brady. It used to annoy me, strike that it still annoys me but I don't get defensive and start yelling back anymore. I just laugh with the knowledge that to them saying we haven't won a Superbowl since 2004 is actually an insult when they're fans of teams like the Jets. Tom Brady has more playoff wins than half the franchises in this league and he's continually performed at a higher level than their chosen one since he became the Patriots starter plus he's married to a super model and together they have more money than god, it's not surprising that they're jealous

Me to Dan Fouts:



Moving on.

Fouts + abandejo = ticked off Brady = win (hopefully )

"He’s the greatest quarterback to ever play the game. He goes from being a rookie that nobody is expecting anything from, to taking over with people saying he can’t do it, to winning three Super Bowls....It should already be obvious he’s the greatest quarterback to ever have played. "
