Message: [QUOTE="upstater, post: 3006009, member: 153"] How can you be so wrong in one post? The Patriots D has been totally deficient in this decade. It's the main reason why they haven't won more. The offense has been at the very top. Not the D. And even in the early years when the offense was not what it became in 2010, Brady was great in the Super Bowls when the defense stumbled (see Carolina Super Bowl). As for the AFCE, the Patriots record against it in this era (i.e. since 2000) has been 74%. guess what their record is against the rest of the NFL? 74%. Guess what their playoff record is? 74%. Mechanics of being a QB? Whose mechanics are better? Please. SportsScience did a show a few years ago measuring the arm strength of QBs, and Brady threw the hardest ball. Most zip out of any QB. That doesn't mean he has the strongest arm, it just means he puts more mustard on it than anyone, but when he needs to, the guy shows off his big arm. Remember the last play of the first Giants Super Bowl? How many QBs can throw a rocket like that? Not many. But this idea about athleticism that emphasizes things like running, at the QB position, is questionable at best. Babe Ruth couldn't do backflips. So what? He was up there to swat. A QB who has extraordinary sense in the pocket, who is a master of pre-snap and post-snap reads, who gets rid of the ball faster than anyone, who is deadly accurate, these are all arguably athletic attributes. Great athletes need skills, and throwing is an athletic skill, great footwork is an athletic skill, a quick release is an athletic skill, etc. The only part of his game that is not athletic is her coolness under pressure, his pre-snap and post-snap reads. That's it. [/QUOTE]
