Marshall Faulk: "Tom was like Trent Dilfer and he became a Peyton Manning"

[Kontradiction]

Not quite sure why we're still quoting things that Marshall Faulk says outside of the fact that it's preseason. The guy was a good running back in the early 2000's but is no longer relevant. He's absolutely terrible as an analyst as well. Not Jamie Dukes-bad, mind you. But still bad.

 

[CheekyDave]

While there are some commentators that create a "
must respond to defend my team" gut reaction, Faulk is not one of them.

His actions speak loudly and clearly to his own bitter resentment at not winning that super bowl game. He is dealing with it the best way he can.

His comments at this point really are comical, and say far more about him, then they do about his subject du jour.

 

[TrueBeliever]

As someone pointed out on a message board once, "here's the reason he's so bitter - MARSHALL Faulk = one Super Bowl ring, while KEVIN Faulk = THREE Super Bowl rings!"

 

[Ice Cold Bruschi]

Man, talk about sour grapes, the guy can't give Tom even a shred of credit for 3 SUPERBOWLS

 

[PATRIOTSFANINPA]

The defense was the biggest factor on the team in all 3 Super Bowls but Brady had to play beyond expectations to have a championship happen and he did more than what most QBs could have in all those years,thats what seperates SB champs from also-rans.

We have not had a consistent defense (mainly in the secondary) the caliber of 2001-03-04 and thats the main reason why this team has been on a bit of a 'dry spell' - I would say the offense has been on par and obviously with Moss and Welker is better than those SB championship years, but our defense has dissapointed in the playoffs in the big games (however the OL was the culprit in SB 42).

IMO this offense of 2009 has SB potential,but I think the defense has a lot of work to do and learn along the weeks ahead to get to the level of its counterparts - If we don't get to the SB this year it will be on the defense,not the offense and Brady will be great as always

The next intelligent thing Faulk says will be his first. The guy is horrible. I still don't get how he still has a job on the NFL Network. He is so out of his league there. And when I say out of his league, I am comparing him to Jamie Dukes. That's how bad he is.

Yep. That's the same Faulk that told everyone on NFLN last year that the Pats would trade awayTom Brady and keep Cassel. Brilliant man.

You obviously didn't see the trade Brady thread that languished on this website for weeks.

I don't see what the big deal is. Faulk was right.

Prior to 2007, Brady was like Dilfer. He took talented teams to Super Bowl titles.

In 2007, he became Manning when he allowed his superior team to be beaten by a clearly inferior opponent.

Now, let's all just hope that he's more Dilfer than Manning this season.

Deus it's totally off-base thats the problem. It's like comparing apples and oranges. Why couldn't he have said, "Brady was like Troy Aikman or Jim Plunkett or Terry Bradshaw and then became Joe Montana." . He failed miserably at putting the evolution of Brady's career in it's proper context.

Trent Dilfer was, well....Trent Dilfer.

Super Bowl 38 sends its regards, PFinPA.

Please read my post again, giving it the intended malicious intent towards both Faulk and Manning.

No, he became what Peyton Manning aspired to be.

Basically then went on to call Brady the equivalent of Trent Dilfer until 2007.

The bitter Marshall Faulk quotes of insanity continue.

How many of those guys get paid to talk about football?

Marshall Faulk sounds like an imbecile. Tom Brady was Trent Dilfer?

 

[patfanken]

Falk was partially right, though his analogy was wrong. Brady was a better QB than Dilfer from the start (as the stats clearly show) However, Brady DID start out in 2001 as a game manager type of QB, however, by the end of the 2003 season, he had evolved from the care taker to the care GIVER, highlighted by his 2003 superbowl game. Since that time he's been the focus that the entire offense revolves around.

Marshall IS a jerk. DI WAS being ironical. And I still can't get over how WRONG I was about KOC.

Marshall Faux: "Tom Brady was Trent Dilfer UNTIL 2007".

Marshall is cryogenically preserved (though not decapitated like Ted Williams) from the year 2002.

Not all of him is frozen in 2002, just his brain...his mouth has no problem adapting to the changing times.
