I'd say Indy, Cinci, New Orleans. That's all.
So, is Brady really a system QB?
How many Super Bowls has Brady won post Vinatieri?
How many Super Bowls has Vinatieri won post Brady? Hmm......

Was Marino the only player on the TEAM? How many SB's would Brady have without Vinatieri?
Vinatieri is only a kicker. NEs defense owned the rams and eagles. And the panthers would not have had nearly the success they did had Rodney not broken his arm. BTW Brady won that SB against Carolina more than Vinatieri.
PS There is no system. Anywhere. They all play football and some are not as good as others at QB. I.E. Trent Green is not as good as Brady. Can the guy do what is asked of him? That is the only question that needs answering. And for Phins fans to praise Manning is rediculous. If the Phins were the best AFC East team then they would have to play Manning every year. In that senario Phins fans would degrade Manning not praise him. We all know Manning is a great one. I don't care what Brady and Manning individually achieve as long as NE wins the SB and the Colts do not.

Actually, Brady DOES have that power. The difference between Brady and Manning is that Manning thinks he knows more about opposing teams than the coaches and regularly calls things differently from what the coaches called in where Brady, having FAITH in his coaches, selects from the plays he's given.
Thats interesting. Do you have any evidence of this?
I've never heard anything like that.
Weis admitted it and said that Brady had as much input into the offense as anyone.
brady's a great qb, so is peyton, brady's just been more clutch in his career so farHow many fans are sick of people telling them that Tom Brady is merely a product of the system?
Every season I have to hear from a bunch of idiots that say this over and over again. Sure Brady has a very good Offensive line here in New England, but I wouldn't call him a "product of our system". I think If Brady went to an Atlanta or a Jacksonville(hypothetical!!!!), he would have no problem being a superstar there as well.
Peyton Manning doesn't have a great O-line? You wanna talk about a "product of a system". The guy never gets sacked and last time I checked Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne are pretty outstanding recievers.
give me a break....

I do not believe Tom is a system QB. He has had to deal with too many personnel changes over the years. I would not want any other current QB for our team. Tom is the perfect QB for our team.
Having said that though, I would not put Tom in the same league as Dan Marino, Joe Montana, John Elway, Steve Young, Peyton Manning or several other QBs yet. Tom has never been league MVP, had a QB season rating over 100 or any significant NFL passing record.
I, currently, rate Tom's career between Jim Plunket(2 Sbs) and Terry Bradshaw(4 SBs). Like Tom these two guys were winners in their career but in terms of being a dominate QB they were not.

Do you follow the Patriots? With your name, probably not. So its not likely that you would hear it because the national media ball-washes that over-hyped Manning and rarely talks about what other QBs are allowed and not allowed to do.
Charlie Weis has talked about it several times. Including, if I remember correctly, an article about Brady Quinn where he mentioned that Brady has just as much power.
As I said, the difference between Manning and Brady is that Manning thinks he knows more than the coaches and regularly goes off script where Brady doesn't. Because Brady actually believes in the system and his coaches and has an equal say in the game planning.
