IMO Brady is the most over rated QB ever to play the game. Can he be clutch? Sure. Is he good? Yeah. Is he everything he is made out to be? Hell no. Here is why.

1. The first Superbowl he wins he doesn't get there without Drew Bledsoe. He got hurt against the Steelers and Drew came in and saved the day. up until he he got hurt he was not playing that great.

2. Another Superbowl was given to them by a shitty call on a strange rule. He gets hit by the Raiders Woodson and fumbles, but they call it a tuck or some shit like that and he gets a second chance. If they call it what it was, a fumble, the game is over and he goes home. But the crappy call let them keep the ball and Vinitari kicked the winning field goal.

3. The Pats play in one of the weakest divisions in the NFL. There have been a few years that they wouldn't have made the playoffs if they were in a stronger division.

4. He himself hasn't won shit. Two of those Superbowl wins came on clutch kicks by Vinitari. Sure, Brady marched them 30-40 yards to get them into field goal range, but half the QBs in the league could have done that.

He is good, very good but I'm getting sick and tired of hearing just how great he is. He couldn't carry Joe Montana's shoes to the field.

To me Manning is the much better QB. He wins games on a team that often has a bad defense and forces him to score a lot of points. Sure he hasn't won a Superbowl yet, but I think he will one of these days. Winning the Superbowl has a lot less to do with the QB than it has to do with the team as a whole. Look at the Bucs and the Ravens. They had average QBs and offenses that were pretty crappy and they both won Superbowls.
