Some pretty amazing shifts for week six. Are going to hammer opponents like that every week? Not likely. I just think it's interesting and also a good reminder that Stats can be pretty misleading sometimes.
One of the posters on this board made this post a few days back. I think he makes a good point and he is basically saying the same thing i am saying.
I'm not saying throw Brady's stats out, i'm saying that he hasn't performed as the #2 quarterback so far.
I guess it will all even out as the season goes on...
