I don't think I've disagreed with anything anyone has said about Brady. D-Rod and I disagreed about Welker being able to catch that ball, but that's really it. I think the consensus is that he played well until his shoulder got hit, and then he started missing throws that he normally makes.
If Gronk is 100% I think the Pats win. I don't think that is far-fetched or unfair. If Welker catches that ball I think the Pats win. I don't think that is unfair either.
I know what your point is. If other people were playing the "If" game, I'd be chastising them. I probably would. At least I can admit it.
Einstein....Starr won five titles in seven years. Holy Christ!
only 2 super bowls. i just checked. what about len dawson?

Are you listening to yourself throughout this thread? You're nothing but a professional excuse maker. What about all the injuries Green Bay had when they won the Super Bowl last year. All the "if's" and "but's" don't mean a damn thing. The fact you'd take Brady over Peyton is laughable. Zero titles since Spygate. Need I say more?
lulz.only 2 super bowls. i just checked. what about len dawson?
3 > 1
Just discovered this thread. Holy crap is Chazz "special".
It isn't my standard, but you're not really worth explaining my standards to. Sorry.
Do you have any proof that they cheated during all three Super Bowls? Because the NFL certainly didn't have enough to take their titles away or even put an asterisk next to their titles.
Oh, and Tom Brady had two of the best seasons for a QB in NFL history (2007 and 2010; and hell, his 2011 was damn good too) after the whole Spygate thing was over, so I would say that my putting him ahead of Peyton Manning is still pretty justifiable. Sorry.
If you think they weren't cheating throughout all 3 of their Super Bowl wins, you're aloof.
I never said Tom Brady was garbage, so let's not portray an inaccurate picture. It's probably already been said, but it's so true, it needs repeated... look at the Pats when Tom Brady was gone for the season, and look at the Colts when Peyton Manning was gone for the season. It's even more so justifiable to take Peyton over Brady.
Oh, so because the Patriots know how to build a team and the Colts don't, Manning is better than Brady? That's awful logic. Manning's value to his team says nothing about Brady's value to his. It isn't a transitive property.
Secondly, Brady was hurt coming off a 16-0 season and they had that entire team back. With Brady, they likely go at least 15-1 and maybe unbeaten again. With Cassel, they missed the playoffs. I'd say Brady has some value.
And no, I think they won three Super Bowls fairly and by being better than everyone else. The NFL obviously agrees.

Not really. NE had a really good defense that year which certainly helped. They only allowed 17.1 points per game that year. 288.3 yards per game were given up. Against NE, the average QB rating was 75.46.
Indy's defense this year gave up 371.2 yards per game and 26.9 points per game. Opposing QBs average QB rating against Indy's defense this year was 102.29, the second highest in the NFL.
