All QBs wether horrible or great become less effective when knocked down / hurried...Brady is no exception. QB's do lose when pressured but can also find ways to win...be it ugly or whatever. I just think over his career Brady has done as good a job as anyone in the league at handling pressure, hanging in the pocket, and taking a hit to make a play.
Of course everyone and the haters will ignore his past big-game success and may only remember this past Superbowl loss. Remember, in the end Brady did do his part and got the Pats in the endzone for the lead. He just needed his secondary to break up a simple fuckin play...or two...or three...to seal the win. All the while his offensive line was a joke in the game and more to blame IMO. Damn, why am I doing this to myself and reliving this nightmare again.
Sounds like you think he's just average?...if so thats fine. I'm not looking to argue. I'll just disagree on only being good or average...Brady is very good! Overrated or not, like him-his team or not, the simple fact is that over his career he has been one of the best if not the best QB in the league.
