Pats doing well will "tarnish Brady's legacy"?
 

I hate to start another media thread, but this gets to something so fundamentally idiotic I couldn't resist. Some moron writes to Peter King about how if the Pats win the Super Bowl this year it will hurt Brady's "legacy" which King actually agrees with.

Sigh.

This is the same line of thinking that had the dopes pulling out Belichick's coaching record without Brady, suggesting his success came solely from Brady. It creates a real nice situation for them this year, in that they'll be able to either disparage Brady or Belichick depending on how the Pats do. This is almost painfully stupid. Here's the thing.....winning Super Bowls is hard. Doing the things that Brady has done is absolutely remarkable. Developing a dynasty like Belichick (and Pioli) has done is extraordinary.

This team may be able to win it with Cassel--either because the complete team will be able to do it with simply decent qb play, or he'll be something special as well, or whatever. But the brilliance of Brady and Belichick isn't something that depends on anything this year--it's already been categorically established. Is that so hard to understand?

Cassel isn't going to throw for 50 TDs and set records no matter who he's throwing to. He'll be lucky to hit 20. The line of thinking is stupid.

This kind of ***** is stupid.
Its very simple:
BB + Brady + everyone else on the pats = awesome and everyone constantly whining about running up the score
BB + Cassel + everyone else on the pats = good enough for a playoff run, maybe a superbowl

people who have been watching nfl for the last 10 years know what brady is capable of and that he is one of the best to have ever played the game........ looks like king is a person with short lived memory.........

The media ass clowns need to justify their fat cat salaries... unfortunately someone will repeat this and look like a complete moroon..

what a ghey thread

It's completely asinine, but it's true, Brady haters will use our success this year against him.

In reality, whatever success we have this year should only increase his legacy - for whatever success Cassel has, you have to consider Brady's role in mentoring him and the 4 years Cassel has spent watching and learning from Brady.

Let me put your mind at ease. New England Patriots hasn't won a superbowl EVER until Tom Brady took field. Since then they won 3. I guess if Denver or San Fran wins another superbowl it will tarnish Elway's and Montana's legacy as well. Just saying

Let's wait until Cassel engineers a last minute Superbowl win over

the Cowboys before we discuss this subject.
