Why is it that Montana is considered the best, or right behind Marino, yet Brady, with much the same career so far is considered so average at best? I just cannot understand why Brady and the Pats get so little respect. Belichek is considered one of the best coaches ever, yet his team is only now making believers.
Are they simply so efficient that they are drab by comparison? Smoke and mirrors? Luck? This is a team that has won two of the last three Super Bowls, won more games in a row than any team in history, and may very well win three out of four. Yet, Brady is no better than four, fifth or sixth best QB in the league.
I just don't get it. Maybe I never will. No doubt there will be no one years from now who will say he deserves the Hall of Fame. Manning? No doubt about it. Brady, he's just a part of the system. Wanna bet who the Pats players would take? I know. They know him, and he is their leader. They believe he will find a way to win. Wanna also bet there are players on the Colts who have doubts they'll ever get to the Super Bowl?
Has there EVER been a two-time Super Bowl MVP who is considered an average QB?
