Tom Brady is still the #1 QB in the league.

What Rodgers did yesterday on one leg was incredible. 24-35 3 TDs 0 INT.

The QB position is easily the most important on a team. No good QB, no win.

All 4 of the survivors have no questions at the QB position (except maybe GB due to Rodgers' leg and how it responds this week after doing to it what he did yesterday).

Personally, I see a NE-Sea SB, but I want a NE-GB SB.

I agree that Rodgers is a very good QB. However, I think he has to continue to make the playoffs and compete for a championships for the remainder of his career if he wants to match Brady's numbers.

No doubt. BTW, I wasn't comparing him to Brady, just saying what he did yesterday, under those circumstances was very impressive.

The pass to LeFell was poetry IMO..

Has anyone eles noticed Brady moving better in the pocket recently and not going down when pressured.Maybe because the offensive line is not as dominent as in years past but Brady's pocket mobility seems flawlwss right now..

He played with ACL tear demons from 2009 to 2013. This is the first year where it really looks like he's exorcized them.

Yes.

He is playing now like he played from 2001 ~ 2007. He played more defensively in the pocket from 2009 to 2013. I don't think its that unnatural for a future HOFer, made a future HOFer at such a young age, to be paranoid about losing an entire season after experiencing it, but I'm glad he's playing more like the old Tom.

I had written awhile back about something in August that truly stood out to me.

I went to the first preseason game this year here at Fedex Field against the Redskins.

Went down to field level 90 minutes before the game and watched a few players lightly stretching and jogging. There was ONE player however towards the end zone tethered to a leash (later to become a quite famous leash) and he was working out FULL steam. Up-back, side-to-side, forward-diagonal, etc. he was putting himself through hell out there. He was there working before I came into the stadium, he was there a full 30 minutes while I was watching him. He was there working longer than any other player stretching before they went back in to get padded up.

And he wasn't even going to play in that game that night, since it was the first preseason game. I remember thinking, "Man, what is Brady trying to turn into this year - - Mike Vick?"

Obviously, he was working fastidiously on the weakest part of his game and he was determined to strengthen it. Several productive run scrambles this year proves that it paid dividends.

Incredible.

No question. I enjoy watching Rodgers play and think he will put up some monster numbers before he retires.

9 Reasons Why Tom Brady Is Not the Greatest QB Ever


http://m.sportsbreak.com/nfl/9-reasons-why-tom-brady-is-not-the-greatest-qb-ever/2/

What an arse.

They so mad

This is a pretty lame article. This guy basically throws context completely out the window and decides that every failure the Patriots have experienced since their last SB was 100% on Brady, therefore he's not that great.

I don't know why I read it but I did. One thing pissed me off. Nobody that has seen the 06afccg can ever even attempt to pin blame on Brady or our defense after seeing those refs in action.

It was written FIVE months ago. Who cares

Obviously, there are lots of people out there living in a delusional world. I can only hope they get the psychiatric help they desperately need.

Stopped reading after: "So if you are the greatest of all time, why would you need to pad your stats?"

Peyton (whom you're probably arguing is better) says hi

He's peanut butter and jealous! They hate us because they ain't us.

Designed clickbait or willful stupidity? Please be the former

this really pisses me off

i am so angry

i need to sit down and breathe
