Over Rated Tom Brady

Seems to me that Tom Brady is getting a little over-rated here lately. Here is what I am looking at. His first triumphs (first three Super Bowl wins) were legit. But the last several years it is more of Tom Brady performing poorly than him beating a very good defense. When I look at the Giants (The last two Super Bowl defeats) they were a decent team, but not something that he shouldn't have been able to beat. These were Giants Teams that struggled with the Redskins (before RGIII) and a defense that was no-way near what this years team was made up of.

Now fast forward to this year against the Ravens (My team). This Ravens defense has been the worst since the franchise began. Now people may say well Ray Lewis is back and Terrell Suggs is back. They were, but they were only a shell of themselves. Just look at the statistics of the Ravens defense this year it reflects this. Now some people may say well Tom cannot throw and catch the ball and that is true. But I have a hard time understanding why he is trying to throw bullet passes through a tall offensive and defensive line. That is where I start to see some of the problems. There was no pressure, he just laser beamed it several time when it mattered most. He is good at accumulating stats, but winning the big game has now passed him by. I just don't think he is hungry for it anymore. One last thing I am tired of him comparing himself to Montana. How many big games in a row did Montana lose. When I was little all I saw was him hold up the Lombardi trophy.
