"He ain't all that … He's all right," Nelson said.

"It was a check down game," Nelson said, suggesting that most of Brady's completions were short and underneath the pass coverage. "Anybody can go 26-of-28 in a dump-down game."

oh he's a Rookie safety?

oh...that's too bad! Doesn't that mean he has no credibility at all?

where was he when Maroney was stomping him downfield? oh yea! getting blocked by our receivers!

Bitter... nothing more

I guess that makes JDR & Garrard complete morons for not doing the exact same thing if it's so darn easy.

It's funny, that defenses scheme in hopes of frustrating the offense into making a mistake, and Nelson is whining because Brady never bit.
Typical rookie.

Maybe they should have taken away the dink-n-dunk, and he could have tested his mettle against #81 in single coverage on a few post routes?

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Perhaps you were impressed with Tom Brady's record-setting performance in beating Jacksonville on Saturday.

If so, you weren't Jaguars rookie safety Reggie Nelson.

I think there us one key word in there.

Whoops I apologize I didn't realize there was a thread about this already.

i guess anyone can also tackle Maroney in open field and not fall face flat? Rookies need to keep their mouths shut

He's a rookie.The kid has a lot to learn.He's just bitter.It was in the heat of the moment.

Eh, give the guy a pass. It was just after his season just ended, and he was still hurting. He's trying to salvage a little pride. I'm sure he knows (or will realize shortly) that what he said was blatantly untrue.

i understand and he played well this year but a young player doesnt come out and sort of try to disrespect a historic team and the best QB To ever play this game. if Fred Taylor didnt say it..why should a rookie ?

Because Taylor has more experience of losing and how to handle it?

No disrespect to the Jags by the way, I'm not labelling them losers.

He's a kid though, still learning many things about Pro-football. How to lose is one of them.
