Brees could have done everything he could do, and drove his offense down the field and scored every time. But if his defense doesn't stop them every time, then they don't win. So by no fault of is own, he doesn't win a championship. He couldn't have dragged his team all the way cause he doesn't play defense. So see what I mean?
People will always think Brady was a better QB cause of all the rings he has. But I personally think Manning was better, and Favre, but it won't go down in history like that. Brady was just fortunate to have great teams and great coaches, not that he still isn't good, but because of what he won he'll always be labeled as better and that isn't right imo.
brady gets to say he "won" a SB where the other team blew a 28-3 lead, and one where his O scored a total of 13 pts.... whataguy!
He also lost 1 because of a horrendous defence that he almost carried to a title against a far better team (500+ yards n losing).
+ 2 last play losses to the Giants.
Know you're half joking but no point bringing up certain games and dismissing the greatest ever SB comeback as a choke while ignoring the fact he could easily have 3 more rings and is known for the 4th quarter last 2 min drive down the field to win it (e.g. 03 vs Panthers). Nevermind that he was the youngest winning QB at the time of his first title, named to pro bowl in his first full year and went 16-0, he's only good cos those pesky Falcons choked!!
It's a team game but acting like Brady isn't Mr Foxboro and isn't as clutch as they come, particularly when his teammates need him, is ludicrous.
