Just How Great is Brady?

[jays52]

Well, I wokeup about a half an hour ago to go tuna fishing, and needed some entertainment to enjoy my coffee's to. After seeing the ad for that text message answer service, I decided to look up all the records that he has. It is staggering.

Most consecutive regular season wins.
Most consecutive post season wins.
Most completed super bowl passes.
Highest superbowl completion percentage.
Most career superbowl completions.
Highest completion percentage in a single game.
Highest completion percentage in a single post season game.
Most passing yards, single season.
Most TD passes, single season.

Frankly, I think his most impressive records are the ones closest to the top of the list. Still, it is amazing that a single player can dominate every meaningful quarterback statistic there is. Really puts his greatness in perspective, doesn't it?

No need to convince this poster... you are preaching to the choir..

Okay, besides the fact some of the facts may be wrong, the point he is driving is still there! Tom Brady 4-EVA!

 

[LAL]

He is also one win away from having the highest winning percentage in NFL history.

Phil Simms has the highest single game SB completion percentage.
Troy Aikman has the highest career SB completion percentage.

Well, so how big is the list now? lol
Imho, had he led a drive at the end of 43, and/or sealed the win against the Dolts in 2006, we wouldn't even have to listen to the name Peyton Manning, or Eli for that matter.

TfB is still the man in my book though.

Brady's greatness and his ticket to Canton come from taking his team to five Conference Championships and winning three of the four SB's they made. Until he had the weapons around him that he was given in 2007, he was not placed in the upper echelon of all time QB's because of his Regular Season, Individual Stats (which is not to say that they aren't impressive).

It will be very interesting to see what kind of career numbers he puts up if he remains healthy and continues to have the likes of Moss and Welker catching his passes. From the latter perspective, it's a damn shame he lost last season and that 2011 is threatened by a strike; that would mean he lost two of his potentially most productive years. I think the argument can be made that with the right talent around him, his career individual numbers would rival Peyton's.

 

[Kontradiction]

It's not him. It's the system.

 

[Patjew]

He's OK for a 6th round pick.

 

[PatsFanSince74]

It's not him. It's the system.

I thought it was because he cheated...

 

[Kontradiction]

I thought it was because he cheated...

Well... that too. But it's mostly because of the system. Everyone knows that. We could put Verne Troyer in there and he'd probably throw 78 TD passes in a year because of how awesome this system is.

On a serious note, it's always funny having the "system" discussion with a Pats hater. They spew out this garbage that Brady is a system quarterback then, when challenged, they cannot even tell you what the hell it means. I always found it to be the easiest debate to have with a Pats hater.

"He's a system quarterback".

"Oh yeah? What does that even mean? Please explain the system to me"

"He's just a system quarterback. Anybody can succeed in it".

"Yes, but how does the system work and how can does it help Brady be a great passer and throw 50 TDs in a season?"

...no answer, thread falls to page 2.

The system thing is great. If a system can turn ANY QB into a winner (Cassel, 11-5), Bill needs to market that shtuff!

Of course the WHOLE system is one that plays to each players strengths while expecting them to improve. But that should be basic football right there...

 

[Ryan]

Tom Brady does everything imaginable that you'd want a quarterback to do, so I don't know how anyone besides idiotic Patriot haters that could even argue that he's not just a great quarterback, but a legendary quarterback. Brady is amazing.

It is, but not everyone has the talent or intelligence to figure out how to do it..

He can't run the Wildcat effectively. Cut 'em!!!!

 

[klinefan]

He was amazing, but this year he's pretty pedestrian.

I think he'll get better as the season moves on. Hope so anyway. I think Moss is tired of being overthrown.

thiiiiiiis great!
