I know Carter is normally pretty critical of the Pats, but he was animated on the NFL Radio Opening Drive show this am.
OK- a caller starts it by asking him if Tom Brady is one of the all-time great QBs. Carter responds- (paraphrased):
He's in there. The only question now for him is longevity.
Then, the caller starts into a whinefest about what if- what if- what if the tuck rule, what if Vinatieri misses the FG and so on. He relates it to Carson Palmer's injury in the playoffs.
Then Carter goes off and says- You can come up with a million what-ifs, but that's football. What if Dwight Clark drops Montana's pass?
He then goes on to say that if he has to win ONE game, Brady's his guy. He talked about how far Brady has come since he was a rookie and says he's the most complete QB in the game. Then, Peyton Manning comes up, and he insists Brady's better. Stronger arm- Manning may make quicker reads, but Brady can hold the ball longer because of his arm strength and smarts.
Overall- very complimentary of Brady and said he's earned his place as one of the best in this era.
Just wanted to share that for those who missed it.
