The best QB wasn't playing in the Super Bowl

[Clayton]

The best WR wasn't playing in the Super Bowl
The best Offensive Lineman wasn't playing in the Super Bowl
The best Defensive Lineman wasn't playing in the Super Bowl
The best Pass Rusher wasn't playing in the Super Bowl
The best Punter wasn't playing in the Super Bowl


The best teams were. Football is a team sport.

Michael Phelps doesn't play football. Tiger Woods doesn't play football. Usain Bolt doesn't play football.

And we don't watch those sports because we like the narrative of one man going up against an army and coming away unscathed like a badass.

But thats not football. Football is chess.

In basketball, a guy like Michael Jordan occasionally comes by. Michael Jordan doesn't play football. We just want there to be a MJ in football but thats not possible. MJ plays offense and defense and is 20% of the people on his team. MJ got to play in Best of 7 series.

Tom Brady has lost to Eli Manning in the Super Bowl. Tom Brady has lost to Jake Plummer in the playoffs. Tom Brady is a much better QB than both of those guys.

But just because he has a bunch of rings doesn't mean he is the best. His body of work certainly puts him in the conversation, though, and his skillset suggests that he is certainly one of the best short yardage guys and probably the best if you don't get in his face with pressure up the middle.

But Tom Brady doesn't win Super Bowls. The Patriots win Super Bowls.

What does Major Applewhite have to do with any of this???

Nope most TDs in playoffs and SB's, most yards in both, most Sb's, most playoffs wins, most playoff comebacks. 10 td's ths postseason vs 2 great D's in Balt and Seattle and only QB to overcome 2 14point leads in a game and biggest deficit in 4th quarter in SB history with 2 tds. Brady and Montana with the WCO and short passes should be ashamed. 9 AFCG and 6 SB's and only 2 things constant is Brady and Belichick, and we know Bill's record was subpar before Brady. Imagine when your top WR is a QB, turned kick off specialist, turned WR and before him, Brady's no#1 receiver was a KO guy who didnt do anything in SD and Miami and then goes to Denver is their 4th option. Please

Well, that and poor play calling by Seattle.

What does any of this have to do with you the fact that you can't stand Brady?

We also know Bill's record with Matt Cassell who was a scrub

ESPN is glad to see you buy into the 'badass who beats the odds' narrative and not the 'chess' narrative.

Yeah we do they lost 7 more games than the year before and missed the playoffs, scoring over 200 less points with a soft schedule . He missed the playoffs in 2000 going 5-11 and would have in 01 starting off 0-2 in 2001. With Brady they go to 9 AFCG in 12 years.

11-5 without Brady so I have no idea how they lost 7 games. Going from a top 3 QB to a mediocre backup would send anyone back at least 5 games.

Football is more nuanced than 'Brady is GOAT'
