i did not say brady is the best ever, however i think he can be when he retires. he still is the best big game QB in the NFL, his only bad postseason games were denver and sd, and the chargers game they won! i cant imagine replacing brady. so many teams would love to have brady as their qb. if you want to replace him who do you think the pats are gonna get that is better?
Your attempts to again deflect attention from the fact that you have YET to support your claims certainly aren't unsuccessful through lack of trying. I never denied that I stated that Brady's skills declined in 2006. You won't have to "look back through 245 responses" to get that quote because I STATED IT in my last response to you.
However, the claim which you made that you still haven't provided a "scintilla of evidence" for is: "My favorite part is when he clearly implies something and then replies to a post saying "where did I say that?". Please do provide the post/quote to support such a claim or admit to the obvious - that you're a liar. I'll stop rubbing your nose in it then.
A tip - don't use words for which you don't know the meaning. Makes you look less like a fool and saves me the trouble of going "huh" when I read your senseless statements.
Actually, you did provide Brady's stats - I'm afraid I missed it before. Odd, that you provided the stats that showed Bulger's better career numbers and then asked "what better career numbers". LOL - that was quite funny.
Hmm....not only do you have problems understanding basic english but you also have difficulty grasping simple numbers. The 6.8 referred to his NUMBER OF YARDS PER ATTEMPT in 2006 vs 7.8, his average in 2005. Your stupidity really has no boundary.... Anyway - back to the topic. As the numbers that you found for yourself clearly demonstrated....Brady's performance DECLINED in 2006, just as I've stated. So, please, do show me how I have not "provided one scintilla of evidence" to support my statement.
Actually, Brady's decline was quite noticeable in the rankings:
QB rating - 3 spots ; AYP - 9 spots ; Pct. - 5 spots ; ToYds - 6 spots
Such a decline may not be disturbing to you (and the more you "talk", the more I understand why) but that doesn't change the REALITY of that decline.
What relevance does Brady's prior performances have to my statement that he declined, except to use as a baseline? I didn't comment on the nature of Brady's PRIOR performances except to note that his 2006 performance represented a DECLINE from those prior performances. The fact that he had good years in 2004 & 2005 doesn't change the fact that he played poorly in 2006. Why is this so difficult for you to grasp?
Well, I'd actually "know" because of the fact that it has occurred throughout NFL history...it wouldn't require "objective, thought based analysis"
Again....what does this have to do with my factual statement that Brady's performance declined in 2006? You can continue to point to Brady's prior performances or assume that he will improve next year but the FACT remains that his performance DECLINED in 2006. So again, please demonstrate how my statement about Brady's decline is incorrect.
Keep trying. This, in itself is rather bland but your increasingly desperate attempts are rather amusing.
I admire your steadfast ignorance. It really is something to behold.
The fact is you have one season to point to that represents this so called decline. Wouldn't you need yet another to truly prove your "theory" beyond a shadow of a doubt? Not much of a sample you have there. One year? A QB rating down 4.4 points? A yards per completion average one yard less than the year before? It's so absurd it makes me laugh. File under: square peg, round hole.
And actually, when one clearly holds some sort of bizarre resentment towards one player as you clearly do which is clear in numerous posts you've made throughout the season, looking at stats and actually forming an objective thought based anaylsis is impossible. That's why you have such difficulty with it.
If you did not have this strange fixation on Brady's sex life, and his "declining" skills, you'd look at those numbers and see Brady has had 6 very good seasons compared to 1 subpar (by your definition) season and conclude it could be an abberation, an off year, a mulligan, but hardly enough to conclude that he has "topped out". Of course, again, that would require something beyond a knee jerk thought process which you apparently are incapable of. File under: Moonbat.
As to your query about you implying this and that, you have in fact stated that Brady's baby issue coupled with his so called "declining" skills would give BB political cover with fans should he decide to release or trade him. Will you now attempt to deny that as well, or will you actually stand behind something you've said in previous posts?
Of course what you didn't factor into this "theory" are the cap ramifications of such a move which would be disasterous to the organization. I guess that fact escaped you while you were busy sharpening your ax and desperately trying to cobble together your next semi-coherent response.
I wonder if Brady's YPC drops by another yard next year if he will make that move? Somehow I doubt it.
Cassel can do what Brady can? Hilarious. If that's so, why isn't he doing it? The coaching staff felt so comfortable with him, they signed Testaverde. Bulger could do what Brady did in the SB? If that's so, why hasn't he done it? Near as I can tell, Tory Holt and Steven Jackson are excellent weapons. Why is Bulger 0-1 in playoff appearences?
Furthermore, how do you know Bulger could do it when he's never been put in that situation? Maybe he could, maybe he couldn't. Of course we don't know because he hasn't been there. Brady has proven he can. Care to disagree? Or did we all imagine 3 SB wins and 2 SB MVPs he played a major role in? This is the part where you minimize Brady's contributions to those wins with the impotent "it's a team game" response. I'll go ahead and respond. Indeed it is a team game. But some positions are more important than others and QB happens to be one of them.
Again, please keep desperately trying to prove this so called decline and how we could plug Cassel, whoever, into the lineup and be just fine. You brought that point up in a thread earlier this year, which I'm sure you've now convienently forgotten. It really is quite amusing in a train wreck, look at the freak, kind of way. I can't help but notice nobody is jumping in to validate your "theory". I wonder why? Clearly, you have no doubts about your "theory" , it's interesting there aren't legions of posters rallying to your side.
Regardless, I'll keep rubbing your nose in it. It's quite enjoyable. Easy, but enjoyable. I find it's the simple things in life that make it so worthwhile and this is quite simple. Until next time...
