Brady is ranked fourth in the Bleacher Report QB power ratings behind #1 Matty Ice Ryan, #2 Aaron Rodgers, and #3 Peyton friggin' Manning. Yet, he's thrown for more yards and fewer interceptions than each of them.
Over the weekend, the Patriots had the biggest blowout of any team. Tom Brady had the highest point total among all fantasy players. The only highlights we got of the Pats were of Gronk hamming it up with his spikes. It's like the rest of the country and the media are ho-hum, another Brady/Patriots blowout.
What we are seeing, once again in 2012, is something very special that I hope we never take for granted.
Could you imagine if Matt Ryan had a Brady day with 4 TDs, no Ints, 300+ yards passing, and leading his team on 6 consecutive scoring drives in a 45-7 blowout? We'd never see the end of the highlights.
Instead we get 30 seconds and two Gronkowski spikes. Just another day at the office.
