Tom did say that he was jealous of Luck's comb-able back hair.

He may be jealous of his good looks. He has that rugged cave man look that women like.

"He’s a great player," Brady said. "He’s in his third year, and he’s had a lot of success. Their offense is doing a great job this year. They score a lot of points, especially at home, and he’s kind of the ring leader."

But Brady didn't stop there as he presented a wish-list of attributes he'd like to have that Luck possesses.

"He does a lot of things I wish I could do," Brady said. "He’s big, fast, shrugs off blockers. He makes a lot of extended plays. He’s a great passer."

Jealous? Really, Boston Globe? Yeah... I'm sure Tom is jealous of Luck's three SB championships, and eight AFCCG's, and super-model wife, and... oh... wait a minute...

Luck looks like Frozen Caveman Lawyer

Brady looks like a super model.

Advantage Brady.

Luck's wife:

Brady's wife: Advantage Brady

Brady's wife made 47 million this year, more than twice as much as the highest paid QB in the NFL (as best I can tell)
Advantage Brady

Pretty sure he's ok with things.​

But my point is that Brady has more physical skills that Cam Newton, as it relates to being a QB.
Sure Newton would be a better track athlete.
But the skills that Brady possesses, including vision, touch, accuracy of throws, muscle memory, short area agility, hand-eye coordination, among others, are also physical skills.

Brady has more physical skills than Cam Newton, but for some reason people want to limit physical skills to the ones that don't mean as much toward being a QB.

Oh common, don't be thick. Yes football is played on the physical plane of existence... Yes Brady is a tremendously gifted quarterback... But you know perfectly well what he meant when he said "physical skills".

Yeah, it must be a conspiracy, and not just a convenient way for people to convey "speed, strength and agility".

Andrew Luck is already married?

If I'm under 25, making millions of dollars, playing QB in the NFL...I dunno...I guess I'd be using that to my advantage.

And Brady...jealous? Bye weeks are almost as bad as the offseason.
