Is it time to dethrone Tom Brady?

[Fox1994]

Nah. He's definitely not done, but maybe he's not top ten all-time. Maybe he's just top ten this decade. Top five. Top two, whatever.

3 superbowls and most passing touchdowns in a season. The '00s belonged to Brady whether you wanna believe it or not.

This "Tom Brady didn't put up touchdowns" argument is fucking retarded.

New England Points Per Game Rank:
2002 - 10
2003 - 12
2004 - 4
2005 - 10
2006 - 7
2007 - 1

Prior to 2007, the New England Patriots were one of the highest scoring teams in the league, despite not having a big time running back, big time wide receiver, or big time tight end.

It doesn't matter who gets the ball in the endzone, as long as you have a Quarterback who puts you in position to score. Tom Brady puts your team in a position to score, as his pocket presence and lack of turnovers catapulted a team of nobodies into a top ten NFL offense year after year.

Seriously, find me a QB who can have this much success scoring when your only option is Deion Branch. Brady finally got a WR in 2007 and look at what he was able to accomplish.

Passer rating is also heavily fluctuated by yards per pass. Brady was never in a system until 2007 where he was allowed to just chuck it deep play after play and hope for the best. QB rating is an awful way to judge players, as it gives you more credit for taking chances and throwing picks than it does for short safe passes.

Wow, I come back to this thread and see that Mark Brunell has been compared to Tom Brady? Wow.

Desperate times for desperate folks.

If the article had been Dethrone the PATRIOTS who's defense didnt come anywhere close to meeting expectations and who's run game was a running joke that'd have made more sense, but there's nothing to show Brady is declining or in a decline.

True story, I traded Vincent Jackson at midseason, he was my 5th best WR in points. (10 team league)

Dude is so overrated.

Forgive me if I don't give a fuck how he did for your fantasy team. Has nothing to do with how good of a receiver he is.

[NAHSTE]

He is def. a top 15 WR

Rankings from the 2009 Season:

21st in Total Receptions
9th in Total Receiving Yards
10th in Averages Yards Per Catch
8th in Average Yards Per Game
T-7th for Total TDs

Stats don't lie.

Here's a statistic:

50% of all statistics are bullshit. Has Vincent Jackson ever taken over a game? Is he the type of WR who opposing defensive coordinators gameplan for?

I guess I'll concede he's top 15, but he's at the bottom of the top 15.
