Brady's stats don't matter, he's not a big stat player. He's know for his poise,leadership and managment skills so the fact he's having his best season doesn't mean anything. The team isn't what they were, that's what means something.

True you don't have to get to the Super Bowl to win an MVP but you do have to have more than a 2 game winning streak and have a great season that elevates your team not just your career QB rating. Last year Manning broke a record that was considered unbreakable and carried his team to the playoffs. Brady isn't elevating his team and if they make the playoffs at all it's going to be because of the defense not him.


Another thing to prove the stat argument....

Aaron Brooks has been one of the best QBs in the league stat wise over the past 5 years, in '03 he had the best touchdown to interception ratio in the league was in the top 5 in rating and broke two team records but all that great individual play didn't elevate his team there for he got no consideration. Brady didn't get a vote last year when the Pats won the division so I seriously doubt he'll get one this year considering the fact that if they make the playoffs it's not going to be by much.

That would've been my point. Brady's leading the league in passing yards but their team is barely treading water, leading a division that's the worst in the NFL. If you're gonna carry a one-dimensional team to the playoffs like Peyton Manning did, that's one thing. But the patriots have problems in a bunch of areas, and Brady hasn't exactly been carrying his team with staggering numbers.

Exactly, he's not doing anything special, just because he's having the best season of his career doesn't mean anything. He's 4th in QB rating but Palmer and Manning are the top two and they're leading the best teams in the league.

The Owens arbitration is bullshit.

Panthers and Buccs back to back, ready to admit it now or ya still got a flicker of hope left?

I don't think it'd be a good idea for Jay Feely to leave his house for a couple weeks.

hahaha that was HILARIOUS. I was rootin' for the Seahawks anyway.

Good luck with the Saints tonight, too.

Lord knows we need it. They're better than the Jets but we've got a knack for giving games away.

4 INT didn't help brady on this game. plus the defense when ice cold on the first half. (6-5) if theygo on a winning streak from now on i don't think that is good enouph to be in plyoffs? 42 players injured there best offeness & deffense are out, offeness/deffenss cornators are gone. it's not over yet they might get a shot at it if they don't you could say the colts has it all the way to win the SB. if the pats don't make it (31D) I will have to pick for Sb contenders Colts and bears. bears will kick the colts ass if they both make the superbowl better D. GO PATRIOTS

I don't suppose you base all that crap you just said on anything but your own opinion because besides "offensive and defensive coordinators are gone" it's either completely wrong or just doesn't make sense.
