Is that the guy who threw 3 picks in the second half at Green Bay and was bailed out by Green Bay's incompetence?
There are only two quarterbacks in the entire NFL that you could confidently say would have won three road playoff games to get to the Super Bowl.
There are only two quarterbacks in the entire NFL that you could confidently say would have beaten the #2 and #1 seed to get to the Super Bowl.
There are only two quarterbacks in the entire NFL that you could confidently say would have won at the Superdome and at Lambeau to get to the Super Bowl.
One is the quarterback who actually did it, Brady, and the other is his opponent in the Super Bowl, Mahomes.
Brady's 3 picks in the NFCCG led to 6 points for Green Bay. Two of the picks amounted to punts, in particular the last, and the second pick was a deflection off of a receiver's hands. The picks, although not pretty in the stat line, didn't hurt the team. Brady was outstanding up to the point of the 28-10 lead which held up. If you want to get on a quarterback then you should pick on Peyton Manning 2.0 for passing up a probable free lane into the end zone.
Wait for Monday when Brady throws several picks and KC isn't so forgiving like Green Bay.
This is a prediction? Tampa Bay loses because Brady throws
several picks. Ok, we'll see. But it would be the first time in 9 previous Super Bowl appearances that Brady doesn't have his team in position to win the game late in the 4th quarter.
Yea he wanted to be here so bad. Loved it so much he refused to show up to OTAs (like he always did) sulked for the better part of 2 years, complained about being unappreciated, complained about his contract, and made videos showing how he was forced to get his massages in luxury suites.
Wake up. He wanted out and BB wanted to move on.
Brady made it clear - publicly even - that he had wanted a longer term commitment from the Patriots. He's been saying for years that he intended on playing into his mid-40's. The team (primarily Belichick but also the Krafts) were only willing to go year-by-year under pretty asinine conditions (i.e. incentives).
Bottom line, Brady would have stayed but Belichick wanted to show everyone he could win without Brady so he squeezed him out of town. Problem is, for Belichick, he didn't count on
his team falling below .500 for the first time since Brady wasn't the starting quarterback; meanwhile Brady is leading his new team to a Super Bowl. Now anyone who's not irrationally clutching onto IBWT sees the last 20 years in New England for what is really was... the greatest quarterback of all-time carrying a franchise to unprecedented success.
Brady has proven he can win without Belichick.
Belichick has proven he can NOT win without Brady.
Those are the FACTS.
