I Hope You’re Paying Attention to Tom Brady
What he's doing on the field is unprecedented.
The Patriots have not lost since Tom Brady finished his bogus 4-game suspension, and the scores haven't been close. They've beaten those teams by a combined score of 136-71.
Michael Hurley of CBS Boston has an excellent article on just how good TB12 is right now as he's tearing up the league.
Look at some of the comparisons that Mr. Hurley put together to give it some perspective.
Brady’s first four games at age 39:
73.1% passing, 1,319 yards, 12 TDs, 0 INTsPeyton Manning’s first four games at age 39:
63.6% passing, 968 yards, 6 TDs, 5 INTsJoe Montana’s first four games at age 38 (his final season):
63.6% passing, 1,054 yards, 6 TDs, 5 INTsDan Marino’s first four games at age 38 (his final season):
59.3% passing, 1,080 yards, 6 TDs, 4 INTsSteve Young’s first three games at age 38 (did not play again after Week 3):
53.6% passing, 446 yards, 3 TDs, 4 INTsJohn Elway’s first four games at age 38 (his final season):
61.3% passing, 781 yards, 6 TDs, 2 INTsBrett Favre’s first four games at age 39:
70.2% passing, 935 yards, 12 TDs, 4 INTsJohnny Unitas’ first four games at age 39:
56.5% passing, 947 yards, 3 TDs, 4 INTsWarren Moon’s first four games at age 39:
62.7% passing, 878 yards, 6 TDs, 3 INTs
Most of the great quarterbacks in the Super Bowl era don't even make it past 36, forget 39.
If this the effort we get out of Brady after sitting out 4 games, perhaps Roger Goodell should trump up charges and suspensions every year.
