scott99 said:Brady threw one TD in his 1st SB not 2, to David Patten near the end of the first half to go up 14-3. I believe he was 15-27 and 195 yards or something like that. They thing that made him the SB MVP was the last drive to get them in position for the winning FG. I believe he started at his OWN 18 with only 1:08 left. Brady showed nerves of steel on that drive. Even Madden, who said that they should have kneeled on the ball said he was getting goosebumps on that drive. Personally, It's something I will never, ever forget.
I wouldn't call Brady's SB bad,(not even close to bad,no int's in his first SB was pretty darn good) but it wasn't as good as his performances in t SB's 38 & 39.
Roethlisburger's (SP) performance was pretty brutal, QB Rating in the 20's or 30's, it was Seattle's fault that they didn't take advantage. Unfortunately Big Ben took away Brady's title as youngest QB to win (not lose ?) a SB, despite his every attempt to lose it. Big Ben is a good QB, but not even in Brady's stratosphere yet.
Big Ben has only played two years in the NFL and he has a 25-3 record and a Super Bowl ring. Say what you want but in Brady's second season, he wasn't much better. You are comparing Brady NOW and that's unfair because he's in his prime and the best QB in the NFL. Big Ben may not be as good as Brady but if Brady is #1, Ben isn't too far down the list when it comes to winning, leadership and intangibles. Don't act like Steelers fans would act. Give the guy his due and move on. He's a good player and he has shown that in his first two years in the NFL.
