(see title of thread)
nobody doubts Tom brady is a great QB but how good is he? Unless you live on another planet you know he has been given the tools to be the top QB in the NFL...Much like Troy Aikman and Joe Montana had..How good would he be in Houston? Montana wasnt exactly a star when he left SF..Granted he was about to retire but still...If you took Tom Brady and put him on the dolphins or texans i bet we wouldnt see near the star studded events he is currently putting on...No, its not his fault at all, but when his time comes for the Hall they will not take into consideration he has all the time in the world to stand in the pocket.
once again im not knocking any of these guys but how good are they? i was always impressed with guys like barry sanders and walter payton..More so payton because he took one hammer after another..i rarely saw people catch sanders...either way they both played on horrible teams throughout their career(other than paytons 1 season Super bowl)but yet they continued to dominate like no others in their era. year in and year out they either led or were close to leading in most rushing categories..
archie manning had to be one of the toughest S.o.b'S ever in the NFL..he spent most of his time on his back or picking grass out of his helmet...Im wondering if maybe his boys wouldnt have been chasing him had archie had time to do anything as a pro QB?
i guess it really is luck of the draw? no people can be traded or free agent out. Back in the day it didnt happen
