Richard Sherman continues to troll Tom Brady

[ThomasTomasz]

Is Tom Brady one of the five smartest quarterbacks in the NFL? Not if you ask Richard Sherman. The Seahawks cornerback wrote a story for MMQB.com on Friday listing the five smartest quarterbacks in the NFL and Brady didn't make the cut.

Peyton Manning was on the list. Drew Brees was on the list. Tom Brady wasn't on the list. Although Sherman did list Brady in his honorable mention section.

"If this were a top 6, he'd be in there," Sherman wrote. "Tom Brady is one of the hardest to intercept, and still has one of the best arms in the league, but this was the year the young guys took a step forward."

Sherman and Brady have kind of been at odds since last season when Brady said he was going to try and keep the Seahawks noisy fan base quiet and turn Seahawks fans on their own team. The Patriots ended up losing to Seattle and Sherman made a 'U MAD BRO' meme directed at Brady that quickly went viral.


Brady aside, here are the quarterbacks Sherman lists as the five smartest in the NFL, with a brief description from Sherman.

1. Peyton Manning: Nobody else has both the authority to do that within their offense and the understanding to know when it's appropriate. His arm, however, is another story. His passes will be accurate and on time, but he throws ducks.

2. Drew Brees: He makes incredible adjustments during the game. He'll struggle for a stretch and then go to the sidelines and look at pictures and then come back and attack the defense a new way. It's almost like they installed a whole new game plan.

3. Aaron Rodgers: He really plays the game calm. He makes all of his checks, and plays with a double count, which a lot of quarterbacks do to get defenses to show their hand. He can identify defenses and he really spreads the ball out to some great receivers.

4. Russell Wilson: His understanding of the pass rush lanes and his elusiveness is unique. Some of that is about intelligence: Watching film and knowing where the defense likes to attack. He has a tremendous understanding of scheme and zone reads, and play-action fakes.

5. Andrew Luck: As my teammate at Stanford, I saw him call offenses, given three or four plays to pick from, and choose the correct play. He understands the run game and where the mismatches are by counting the linebackers.

[Mogriffjr]

4 and 5 don't count to me...4 because he's teammates with Wilson, and 5 because he went to college with him...

Topic wasn't who are the 5 best QB's in football. It was who he thinks are the smartest.

same difference dumb ass. Its a bullshit excuse for an article. a bunch of sensationalistic hoohaa that's a joke of an opinion from up and coming player that means nothing. If he's better than them he is also smarter than them anyway. Luck is in no way shape or form smarter than Brady on a football field and neither is Wilson. But thanks for feeling the need to create such an elaborate post towards me. I feel your love

I stopped caring about Richard Sherman's SI articles when he said this year's SB location was a mistake.

i guess its easy to talk shit when you have never had an opportunity to back it up against the guy...maybe if seattle can make it to the SB....

[KINGOFOOTBALL]

Jason Garret was arguably the "smartest" QB in the league...that amounted to a pile of shit during and after didn't it.
Marino was a numbnuts maybe that is why he lacked playoff success.
Anyways...yeah Sherman is entertaining.

If you actually read the article, he's not talking shit. Everything he says is pretty accurate.. and in the one meeting against Brady, he picked him off which eventually set up the game-winning touchdown.

Again though... this was an article penned by Sherman himself of who he thinks are the SMARTEST quarterbacks in the game.. not the best. SMARTEST.

LOL it doesn't matter, he's still wrong. Of course Luck and Wilson aren't remotely as smart as Brady . Its stupid to believe such ignorant bravado

 

[calgaryballer]

Well, Luck has a degree from Stanford in Architecture and didn't Wilson get his masters while at Wisconsin after doing grad courses at NC State?

Richard Sherman continues to troll Tom Brady

Not sure if he still plays but didn't the Bills QB graduate from Harvard? Played a couple years ago.

Edit: Fitzpatrick

 

[CrimsonGhost56]

richard sherman is a terrible human being

 

[Cornelius]

Smartest guy in the history of the league is Pat McNally.

*crickets*

 

[Len B]

We need to have a Billy Madison style debate to settle this for real.

Question: Do you believe in global warming?

Tom Brady: "I defer to Andrew Luck."

Andrew Luck: "ERGHMAGLOBARGH WARYMYGGHA ERGHALANZA"

Tom Brady: :smugruss:

I remember his story well actually

http://articles.latimes.com/2011/apr/24/sports/la-sp-crowe-20110424

Pat McInally never tires of reminders that he is the only NFL prospect to record a perfect score on the Wonderlic intelligence test.

"It's intellectual annuity," he says.

The Harvard-educated McInally, in fact, has gained far greater distinction from acing the Wonderlic in advance of the 1975 NFL draft than he did from playing 10 seasons as a punter and wide receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals

Further eclipsing his playing career, McInally in retirement conceived a line of action figures that were sculpted and painted to resemble specific pro football and baseball players.

The series of tiny plastic figures, called Starting Lineup, made him rich enough that he no longer had to work.

"That," McInally says, "and California real estate."

McInally, 57, is still buying and selling.
