Ok, I'm done for a while, but this line cracked me up! Hopefully things turn around on Sunday.

Yes, I think it can, and does, happen. Had the intern put this together (it's actually kind of job related, if you really rationalize it... ha) Don't know how to insert charts on here, and I apologize for the formatting, but you'll get the gist.. All of these guys are potentially in the GOAT...

Hey, no one is rooting for Brady to turn it around more than I am, and I'll ignore the vitriol from the Brady Denial group. Going on 40 years now of watching the Pats and watching/playing/coaching football (Yes, I watched Hannah, Grogan, Nelson, Tony Collins! *(ugh) and have only missed one...

Sorry, I'm a grown man with a life. Honestly, I don't post on message boards very often unless i feel strongly about something, like the denial surrounding the decline of a 37 year old QB's skills.

I don't think anyone who has stated that Brady has declined, and that, God Forbid, he isn't an elite QB anymore, has been confrontational or insulting, like this post or the non-sensical Red Sox post above. We've just presented the data showing that he's one of the lowest rated QBs in the...

To be fair, I think he was asking for ONE example... :D

Again,... lesser QBs have put up better numbers in worse situations. What you're saying speaks to the mental toughness of a guy who sees the end but hasn't admitted it yet.

Agreed. And i was one of them until recently. It's natural to be in denial that the Brady era is over, and his days of being an elite QB are in the past. I kept trying to ignore what my eyes were telling me, going back to last year. And that's not even going into the whole "when's the last...

Because I don't buy the weapons argument when Amendola was a plus receiver before Brady, LaFell was legit in Carolina, and Wright set rookie TE receiving records before Tom. And as i said earlier, there is no correlation between QBs' unpressured QB ratings and whether or not they are...

No, Brady is not a good pocket passer anymore:+ John Parolin - ESPN : Brady has a 31.8 completion percentage on throws deeper than 10 yards downfield, worst in the league and one of three quarterbacks below 40 percent. Sam Monson PFF: It isn't all about protection, though -- Brady's passer...

Unless I'm misreading this... you're talking about two years difference (2012 to 2014). That's exactly my argument. He's fallen off a cliff, as he's SUPPOSED to have done. This is what happens to QBs at his age. Over, and over and over again. Again, Jim Rice in 87. In 86 he could still hit...

I agree that Brady's Bledsoe-like lack of mobility adds to his decline, and that point actually proves MY point. Also, no way Olsen and his 400 yards receiving is even better than what Gronk is giving us now. AND Forte was by no means a top 10 back that year. I would say the biggest...

I understand, but at the same time am amazed by, the denial going on in our minds about Brady's demise. It's natural to look elsewhere for reasons that he is, a quarter of the way through the season, a below average QB in this league. But honestly, I'm getting sick of the excuses about line...

I understand, but am at the same time amazed, at the denial some folks have about Brady's decline. He's 37. This is when it's SUPPOSED to happen (if not earlier). I'll always appreciate what he's done, but he's no longer an above average QB. For all of those who say he has no line and no...

I think if WW was still on the Pats, we'd all be seeing what I've seen in his two games with the Broncos - he's appeared to have lost a step. In Sunday's game in particular he really looked like he was running in sand. He just doesn't look as quick as he did even last year. I know he hurt...
