God, somebody fed the "5 interceptions in 4 games" line into every idiot's Narrative Machine, not to mention into the vacuum between the ears of some fans.
No, it's not a good number. Over a season, that's a Favre-esque number (20 for 16 games). However that has not happened.
This is a terrible, horrible stretch, in Brady terms. Five INTs is a bad game in terms of the Favrevruhs and Mannings of the world. Actually, 6 interceptions is a bad game for those guys.
Now, if you're finding reasons to argue against Brady, I guess you could hang your hat on that 4-game stat. I don't care much for the MVP thing, I'm just irritated by the newest parroted "stat"... 5 interceptions in 4 games! Tribulations such as never have been witnessed before!
I'd rather our familiar 1 per quarter (year) pace. But if that's the Brady-bash for the next 5 years... you remember when he threw 5 picks in 4 games... I think the people who repeat this so credulously and vapidly, need to look around at the rest of the league, and at the other QBs who got nothing but love from fans and the league, while throwing 6-pick games.
Edit - that was just Favrevruh with a 6-interception game. Manning's hit 4. So has Brady.
