You'd have the best argument to put him ahead of Brees, who's gotten sloppy with the ball the past couple of years, but he seems to be rated about where he should be, no?

Overall aside, yes ,his 99 awareness is well welcomed.

Tom Brady is the product of the system he is in,,,Nothing more...Bilichick (sp?) is the key to the success, I hate to say, cause I can't stand him....Put Brady on any team Matt Casell ended up on and watch Brady fold just as Cassell did...

Even if we allow that Brady is the better passer than Wilson (which is almost impossible to say at this stage of his career, considering their respective workloads), Wilson is obviously the better athlete to such a ridiculous degree that it may make up for the difference. I think we'd agree that, at most, Brady is 1.5x as good of a passer as Wilson. He's definitely not twice as good, but probably better, right? How much better of an athlete is Wilson? 3x? 4x? The balancing out is pretty fair, then, when you consider what the rating represents.

I agree with this. It's kind of like the "Styles make fights" argument. Kaepernick and Wilson aren't better quarterbacks than Manning or Brady. However, against the Seahawks Kaepernick is better than Manning because of his athleticism and ability to match up physically to the Seahawks. Who was better? Manning in the Superbowl or Kaepernick in the NFC championship game vs the Seahawks? And no I'm not speaking of pure stats. I'm speaking of effectiveness, i.e. a tipped pass away from winning vs getting blown out.

Same can be said for Wilson. He was better against the Broncos in the Superbowl than Brady was vs the Broncos in the AFC championship game. Why? Because when Brady got pressured he was rendered pretty much helpless because he can't move. When Wilson got pressured vs the Broncos he escaped the pocket, bought a little extra time and converted several crucial 3rd downs.

I was waiting for this post. Surprised it came so late. Let's keep this on ratings, it's not a Brady-***** vs Brady-Defender thread.

EDIT: Tater (with an H) is a blocked word?

So his last 8 games in the regular season he was

209-321 65% 2519 yards 7.8 ypa 16 tds 5 int Rating of 99.1(I use a rating calculator http://www.primecomputing.com/

Once the young receivers started figuring things out he looked like the old Brady.

WILSON IN THE SAME LEAGUE AS TOM BRADY

"I can't believe Wilson's rating" "Wilson won because of the team" "Wilson's a terrible QB" Well of course Seahawks haters will say that when Seattle wins. If you don't like his rating just change it when the game is released. I realize that as a Hawks fan myself people will think I'm biased but please, settle down. Some of your complaints are just... stupid. Just my opinion. /end rant.

So many SMH things in one comment. I love "If you criticize my team your a *****" guy. Plus calling things we say "Stupid"

Sounds like your more a Seattle homer than anyone being a *****. LOL

I didn't realize (H ater) was a blocked word. LOL

OKay, Brady's ratings are way over inflated....He lost to Eli Manning in not one, but 2 Super Bowls...
