This guy is delusional. A Drewpie Krishna must have spoonfed him this piece.
Bledsoe never really mentored Brady, thankfully, so much as tolerated him like the cute Christmas puppy, until he actually took away his job. He never mastered the nuances of the game, like reading defenses, and adhering to game plans, or adapting to his weapons and protecting the football., While his replacement in Dallas may be a gunslinger as he was, Brady thankfully is not. Drew wouldn't even back up Romo in Dallas once Tuna made the switch. In fact he publicly stated that the HC was making a big mistake... His backups certainly were guys who could think on (as well as move around on) their feet, and that is something they could not have possibly learned from the statue.
Was he once briefly a good sounding board for a youngster who on his own climbed from 4th to 2nd on the roster ladder in a season then was suddenly foisted onto the big stage, sure. Did he have a good work ethic in season, yeah, but he wasn't hanging around for extra tutoring in the off season. Brady was winning off season workout awards while he fished in Montana. He only worked at his game when forced to under threat of unemployment, and only then long enough to get a couple of W's under his belt in a new job. Then he reverted to form. He made the same mistakes over and over and over - something BB simply could not tolerate in a QB. Eventually that even wore Tuna out. In Buffalo he couldn't even handle a coin flip.
As for the Brady Romo comparisons, aside from nice smiles and seemingly chipper and endearing media personalities, these two are night and day. Romo is Favre at heart with a less egocentric personality. He's good at cajoling his crew into performing, Brady elevates his by disciplined example. Romo scrambles to get out of trouble, Brady deftly slides around in the pocket to keep the play alive. Romo may watch film but on the field he reacts and flies by the seat of his pants when scripted plays break down. Brady understands defenses and has exceptional field vision and pocket presence and commands a sight adjusted offense coached to take what the defense is giving you rather than routinely breaking into chinese fire drill mode. 16 games in, Romo wants his franchise deal. 16 games in Brady already had one ring and just wanted another.
Washed out of pro football and sports commentary in a flash, what a waste of a Yale education.
