Until proven other wise Brady is still one of the top 2 elite players in the NFL.

I do tend to agree. Brady was ALREADY a massively over rated system QB to start with. No reason to kill the hype machine now that he's had an injury.

It's pretty easy to throw big numbers in that system, so I expect to see another 45+ TD season for Brady this year. Unless Moss gets hurt.

Peyton Manning is also a pocket passer and his surgeries last off season were minor compared to what Brady went through. And he didnt start the season out well either. He picked it up some where near mid season. So mos def Brady should not be a 98.

It should be noted that McNabb's injury affected his throwing motion, by way of his footwork (pushing off/hip rotation). That is why people are wondering about Brady.

But, Brady does not throw high horsepower balls like McNabb, he's a touch passer. If his accuracy is not affected by the knee, he should do well this season.

No...I was referring to people getting upset that people are debating ratings...if you are one of those people, then yes I was.

No need to get defensive if people are debating things...it's all good natured. And I'm not lookin to start trouble either. No one is attacking anyone, so no need to get defensive is all.

You're right, Brady and Manning are both massively overrated system qbs. They are golfers posing as quarterbacks right?

I understand where he is coming from. I think Brady should go down to the mid-to-low 90s. 93 or 94 seems right.

[nepatriotsfan]

they already dropped brady's thp to a 97. i think they should drop his speed and acc to make him a 96. but i dont think that they should drop his accuracy.

mid to low 90s? All the sudden Brady is not an elite QB? I think too many of us are assuming theres going to be this huge dropoff when we really dont know. Its possible he can come back and regain or come close to regaining his MVP form.

LOL @ the haters. Please describe to me what this magical "system" is that New England runs and why all of the other franchises across the NFL are stupid enough not to use?
