That would be great! I have always thought that T-Brady was over rated.

I agree, he makes few mistakes.

I agree, he probably wouldn't have lead any other teams to the SB. Right place at the right time.

I think that the whole team earned it for him...he would not have been able to lead any other team to those Super Bowls! Them's the facts.

True. I compare him to Dilfer or Brad Johnson, they make FEW mistakes.

do u watch football, brady has amazing command of the field, is accurate NEVER gets rattled, won a super bowl with Antwon Smith running the ball, has no true number1 receiver and its debatable if those recievers are even number 2's yet he still puts up good numbers and is undefeated int he playoffs best qb in the game

Also has KICK A$$ defense that shut down opponents...allowing Brady to manage the game without having to win it by himself...great for the team, but the emphasis is on the team's effort, not one player...that is why he doesn't deserve all the credit, nor all of the money.

although new england does have an excellent team as a whole...i think brady is an excellent quarterback, and i think he's better than Vick.

MOST QBs are better than Vick at this stage in his career...until he learns how to be a better passer, Vick will never be the top QB in the game!

Well his numbers are about the same as Culpeppers over the last 4 years. Except he doesn't turn the ball over. He can come from behind. And he doesn't choke in the big games.

He played with a well rounded team that is for sure, but he still held them together he still marched them down the field. The whole team argument doesn't hold weight anyway because it holds true for every athlete.

What if Pepper Started for the browns? Would he have been as good with no Chris Carter or Randy Moss? Doubt it. Brady gets the shaft because he doesn't have 4,000 yard passing seasons or he isn't extreemly outspoken, his team isn't surrounded in controversy. And yet he wins. He beat Drew out for a starting job and never looked back. Over the last four years Pepper and Brady have averaged 24 touchdowns each only Pepper likes giving the other team the ball more.

Brady is lost in the shadows because he does everything well, he isn't brilliant at any one thing, but he is very solid at the rest even the intangibles. That is why his fingers are laced in gold and diamonds.
