If anything, Brady's making better, quicker decisions and throwing to a more diverse group of receivers than any QB in the NFL.
People too often make conclusions on decision making based on execution. Brady's decision to throw to Gronk deep vs. Blackburn was not a bad decision, but it was poorly executed.
Eli Manning's quick pass inside to Victor Cruz resulted in a touchdown, but if Mayo had executed well enough, it was a pick-6 the other way.
In the middle of the third quarter, we were witnessing one of the best QB'd games in the history of the Super Bowl in what Brady and Manning were doing. The productions numbers weren't gaudy because possessions were at a premium, but the QB ratings were off the charts. Brady was playing extremely well.
Bottom line - if one of those two fumbles lands differently and bounces to a Patriot, we'd be talking about him as definitively the greatest QB of all-time right now, and folks like Rhody Patriot would probably be bored silly these days.
So, we have to wait another year to see if we can shut up the haters. Painful, but we're blessed as Patriot fans to witness a team so good for this long. Extra pressure and pain is the cost of being as competitive as the Pats are every year - both for its players and its fans. This offseason post-SB46 it might not feel super, but its without question worth it.
