2) Tom Brady, New England Patriots
Let's hope all that Deflategate crap doesn't inspire mass misevaluation of the kind of player Brady's been. Forget the four Super Bowl wins for a moment. Forget the fact he's led the Patriots to the playoffs in 12 of his 13 seasons as a starter. Forget the MVP awards. What sticks out most is his ability to lift the play of those around him. If you'd been able to convince someone two years ago that New England would win the Super Bowl with Julian Edelman, Danny Amendola and Brandon LaFell at wide receiver, that person might have also believed text messages containing the phrase "dorito dink" would one day become quite famous. Most impressive to these eyes is what Brady was able to do from Week 6 on last season when it counted -- in the fourth quarter. Starting with that week's 37-22 win over the Bills and stretching through Super Bowl XLIX, Brady threw 10 touchdowns, one interception and compiled an insane 127.0 passer rating during pro football's most important stanza. Oh, and after those balls were re-inflated in the AFC Championship Game, he went 12 for 14 with two scores. OK.
