Yeah, but Brady could win another 2 or 3 before he's done. Imagine having the perfect season with that resume
imagine the value of my already $8000 dollar tom brady rookie card.

We went 3-1 in Brady's absence, so there was no crisis while he was gone. Plus I thought the year before when Brady won the appeal was way more of a dramatic event. I think everyone, Brady included, was exhausted about the whole situation at that point.Not sure brady sitting out, Gronk being lost for the year, Collins getting traded etc was stable.
I only read the thread title first and had to think about it for a couple minutes. I concluded 'no'. Then I opened the thread and read that your stipulations involved enduring the Patriots blowing a 25 point lead and Brady being the one to throw a goal-line pick. I concluded 'hell no' immediately.
If we're going the wish route, why not just let me have all 7?
In both cases there was adversity, pretty equally and it was overcome.We went 3-1 in Brady's absence, so there was no crisis while he was gone.

Bennett made the Gronk loss not so devastating for once. It sucked but it's something we've experienced with Gronk a good 3-4 times now. Nothing new.
I'll give you that Collins was a shocker. Collins was my favorite player on that defense, so that was pretty blindsiding.
It just wasn't like 2014. 2014 was a year that was 10 years of heartbreaking playoff losses in the making. I can't say the same about 2016.
an undefeated sason would have ended the argument years ago.
Ending a drought plays a large part in the dramatic factor.In both cases there was adversity, pretty equally and it was overcome.
If your argument is based in ending a drought that wasn’t what I was referring to.
You're trading greatest team for greatest game and comeback. It's a bit of a wash. Both wouldn't have been forgotten, but in one case we did something that blew the lids off what anybody else had ever done (25 points in the Super Bowl) and would have trancended sports,Yeah, but Brady could win another 2 or 3 before he's done.

Also because the last two were with such different teams he gets a bit of credit that Montana doesn't for not having the same core cast around him for multiple Super Bowl wins.No cause he would be at 4 rings and the "Tied with Montana argument would still be used until 5"

I like 14 better. That was really the year where Brady finally separated himself. The Seahawks MURDERED Peyton Manning and the Colts and were on the verge of becoming the first real dynasty since the Patriots in the 2000's and there defense was going to be historic for being the defense that beat the two greatest QB's of the modern era.I'm trading '14 for '07, I consider '16 to be the greateast comeback. I would have trouble trading the comeback against the Falcons even for '07, that's kind of a wash for me.
FYI it was an entirely different team. Not a single player other than brady was on the 01 and 14 teams.I like 14 better. That was really the year where Brady finally separated himself.

Winning that one gave Brady a huge check against any Peyton Manning comparisons forever, it gave him a win against a historically great defense (to compliment a defeat over a historically great offense in the Rams) we held off another dynasty to extend our own, AND Brady got to essentially win a Super Bowl with almost an entirely seperate team than the early 2000's Patriots which gave him a distinction that many people used to put him above Montana (before LI solidified it).
I know, but I group Wilfork into that early run and he was still there. He wasn't on 01 or 03 though.FYI it was an entirely different team. Not a single player other than brady was on the 01 and 14 teams.
