Ah, the Dee Ford offsides game. And the phantom RP call on Chris Jones for hitting Brady's shoulder and not his head that extended Brady's drive. Just stop.

 

[sb1]

Talk about ignoring context - you are focusing on one game, while I'm focusing on the totality of Brady's 2001 season, including his 2.5 playoff games. So Brady plays the entire Pittsburgh game - at best he gets 1-2 touchdowns for a grand total of 3 that postseason. Whoop dee do.

"What If's..."

That's still not being carrried. Unless you're saying Brady walked off the field and someone else was wearing his jersey and dominated that Chiefs defense in the second half when Mahomes was lighting up BB's defense like a gas can and in OT.

I'm talking about his playoff totals for that season, which you bragged about being poor. And 3 touchdowns in three games - if that's how it played out - would have been fine. We had a ground game that year. No different than how it's been in recent years when our running backs are scoring close to 10+ a season. Brady's job as a first-year starter was to make plays, not turn it over, and win the game. Did they have a good defense? Absolutely. But they also had a solid QB who is the reason why they ended up beating one of the most explosive teams in league history.

There is no evidence Brady would have even gotten to 1-2 touchdowns in the Pittsburgh game had he played the whole time. The only reason the Pats even advanced to the Super Bowl that year was because Bill's defenses caused 4 turnovers on Kordell Stewart.

It's ok that the team's QB was not the most important cog during two super bowl runs - 2001 and 2018. It's a team game.

There's also no evidence that he wouldn't have.

 

[Dingleberry]

So, Brady averaged 1 TD per game in 2001 in 2+ playoff games. How pedestrian.

It's too bad he wasn't as good as Super Bowl Mahomes. In 2 games (the biggest games), Mahomes is averaging 1 TD and 2 INT's per game. A 64 Rating. How less than pedestrian.

Mahomes was "carried" I guess....

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

What if Drew didn’t get injured. Does anyone believe we get to the SB?

 

[SHOWTIME15]

There's also no evidence that he wouldn't have.

Like I said, the sample size of the 2.5 playoff games that he did play in suggests that nothing would have been different.

He had 10 touchdowns and 2 INTs in the year they won...not sure where you are going with this.

 

[sb1]

What if Drew didn’t get injured. Does anyone believe we get to the SB?

Nope and the budding dynasty is stopped cold in its tracks before it starts. BB tries to make the QB switch anyway later in the year, Drew is NOT the team player that he was the way things happened, the locker room is fractured, Kraft intervenes on behalf of Drew, and then BB is fired shortly after that.

 

[Ian]

Like I said, the sample size of the 2.5 playoff games that he did play in suggests that nothing would have been different.

You can look at the raw #s. I'll remember it based on what we all visually watched and base it on how he was playing in that game prior to his injury.

 

[PatsWSB47]

What I don't understand is how someone can daily discredit every accomplishment Brady ever had and then think he is fooling us into thinking he's actually reasonable by gratuitously saying that he's in the top 3 quarterbacks of all time.

 

[PatsWSB47]

What if Drew didn’t get injured. Does anyone believe we get to the SB?

I remember the start of the 2001 season vividly. After the 2000 season debacle all I could think of was "here we go again" after losing the first 2 games

 

[sb1]

He had 10 touchdowns and 2 INTs in the year they won...not sure where you are going with this.

Aren't you going to add Mahomes career Super Bowl passer rating to your sig? I'll give you his rating here you go: it's 64.

Aren't you going to add Mahomes career Super Bowl passer rating to your sig? I'll give you his rating here you go: it's 64.

Why would I? I don’t consider Mahomes to be the best Super Bowl performing QB of all time.

Super Bowls are the only thing that matters when it comes to Joe Overrated. His playoff failures do not count.

With Mahomes, on the other hand, it is important to focus on great stats in playoff games. His Super Bowl mediocrity should be discarded as not meaningful. It's just a 2 game sample size. Two games is meaningless! Unless....

we are talking about Tom Brady. His 2 game sample size makes it apparent he would have done nothing against the Steelers.

I am here to help decipher pretzel logic.

Getting back to Dallas/SF

Think another team would take Dak's contract off their hands? I can't see that going well for the taker who would be stuck with most or all of the contract. Unless Dak is the missing piece to a Super Bowl.
