Quote:Yeah it's funny how Rivers, Manning, Brees, Rodgers, Rothlisberger etc are all near the top of stats, must be plain lucky to be there every year. Brady the only top QB who had a somewhat down year statistically. But he's usually in the top couple, and a player of his ilk is allowed a down year for how long he's been great. 

 

for the past 10 years, brady has only been out of the top ten in passer rating 1 time, which was this last season. (not including the year he was out)

 

stats dont always tell the story of one game. but over the course of a year, 2 years, and a career, stats certainly do paint a picture of the quality of a player.

 

im not criticizing one game, or one quarter luck played. im not saying he is a bad player. im just saying he is average and the past 2 years back that up. sure, he could have better years, or he may not. right now he is mediocre.
