I loved hearing Brady talk about his Michigan days and how during the week of practice he didn't know if he'd play on Saturday, so he had to treat practice like a game.
He started every game his last two years. That is part of the lore. He didn't know how much he would play, but there were only 2 games that he didn't finish (3 if you count the concussion in the Wisconsin game his 5th year.) He was the starter. He knew damn well he was playing. He was also captain of the team.
He's talked a lot about early in his career, and 1997 when he backed up Griese and didn't know if he'd play, but after Griese left, he was the guy.
