Players all over the league think he's soft. When they talk about why that is, they mention the looks, the advertisements, the model wife, the diva. Hell, Welker calls him a diva (jokingly). You think the perception of him as a pretty boy doesn't work into this widespread dislike and questioning of his toughness? Yeah, right. It's the idea that he ducked that does it instead.
Because it's even scarier out there?If Tom Brady is so scared in the pocket, why does he rarely leave it?
Because it's even scarier out there?
I think that the fact that he's ducking without pressure means that people have something they can legitimately point to. I think the fact that you're being such a homer that you're dismissing this, even as you concede that it's happened, does you no credit and has made you look really bad in this thread.
What makes you such a bad poster is that you think you know what's going on, but you dn't.
He frequently ducks, and most often he avoids the rusher and makes a play. Against Seattle a week later he ducked without being able to see the rusher behind him, it afforded him the opportunity to make a long completion. This is what USUALLY happens, MOST of the time, when he does it. Occasionally, he ducks too soon. If he didn't do this ducking thing, he'd have fewer completions. For what? Who the hell cares what the detractors think? He'll keep winning and let the haters hate.
Sapp hasn't seen this guy....
I'm comfortable with my posting, but thanks for yet another inaccurate personal attack on your part. However, you admit that he ducks, you admit that he's done it without people being there. You've admitted, basically, that you're full of it with your attack on Sapp. You've now fallen to "who cares what the detractors think...." when you clearly do, and when the whole point of my posts was just that it wasn't all about Brady being a pretty boy, and I made it clear that I wasn't buying the notion that Brady was scared.
You still don't get it. This is why I said you're not certain what you're watching.
He ducks. He ducks without people being there. It's a good thing. If he ducks when people aren't there often, it's a bad thing. But since he ducks a lot, almost always when someone is coming at him, it's a good thing. And this is precisely why Sapp's point-of-view is totally idiotic. Here we are, with the coolest cucumber in football in the pocket being knocked as being scared. Even Colts fans have weighed in here in this thread and said he's the best at this aspect of the game. And Sapp says the exact reverse of what even opposing fans will admit.
And why does Sapp hold that point-of-view? Because he thinks Brady is soft. The defensive guys have said this repeatedly about him. Calling him a diva, etc.
I get it fine. You made a foolish claim and just can't admit that, so you're ignoring the first rule of holes. I'll leave this off at this point, because it's obvious enough and you're just repeatedly doubling down.
Have a good one.
