Don't you understand? By posting this rant, you just proved that Tom Brady means more to you than anyone! So much so that you are seething in anger now because he's still going strong, like the EverReady bunny--- for another team now, thanks to YOUR Bill Billichick.

Explain to me why he means more than the guys I listed?

 

[Concerned American]

Explain to me why he means more than the guys I listed?

WHO?

Because he is the GOAT who put NE on the map and made the Patriots legendary as the greatest franchise in history.

No matter how many times Billichick cheated.

No matter how many times Billichick cheated.

Well, he was caught using video to spy on the other team, probably not the first or the last but he's the one they caught. Then there was inflategate, which I think they made too much out of. Each team ought to inflate their balls to whatever pressure feels best to them, then no team has an advantage. But they never did figure out how those balls got low by who.

In neither case do I think any of that stuff made the difference in a game over their just having Tom Brady as QB.

I know. Belichick stumbled onto a cash cow with Brady--he is a proven commodity. He will forever be enshrined in the HOF. Belichick, I don't know.

Belichick will probably get into the HOF on the laurels of Brady--- it allowed the world to overrate him for years on the sheer accomplishments of his team, but we see now, without Brady, Bill has stepped down a peg or two.

Oh yeah? Bill Buckner.

No, he's not the GOAT. He's not even in the top 5 New England athletes. Are you telling me Brady means more to Beantown than Bill Russell, Ted Williams and Larry Bird?

 

[Devils_Advocate]

Babe Ruth means more!

 

[Rocko]

Tom Brady never Ingratiated himself to Boston/New England community.

 

[Concerned American]

No, he's not the GOAT. He's not even in the top 5 New England athletes. Are you telling me Brady means more to Beantown than Bill Russell, Ted Williams and Larry Bird?

Fuck Beantown. Nobody ever gave two fucks about their NFL team until Brady came along.

Well, I will agree to that!

Idiot, I was talking about the PATRIOTS. If you even question whether Brady is the best QB ever, you are not worth talking to. The Pats run on Super Bowls and such during the time Brady was there is a record we will never see equaled or passed in our lifetimes.

I still say the greatest quarterback of all time was Johnny Unitas. I can name 5 quarterbacks better than Brady:

1. Unitas
2. Montana
3. Marino
4. Mahomes
5. Tarkington

LMAO, are you kidding? Brady has seven SB rings with two different teams. Tarkenton-0, Montana-4, Unitas-3, Mahomes-1 and Marino-0. Brady is lacking one ring of tying the rings of every one on your list COMBINED. Try again.
