I didn't mind Brady when he started in this league. I never expected him to be the guy. Late draft pick, kind of soft looking, and really didn't know him. And then this amazing career took place!
I was not a pats fan in the Belichick/Brady era. I'll be kind today...let's just say I did not like them. That's all. But they were an almost unstoppable force. So many times they kicked me in the gut with their victories, and Brady was the man on the field executing to near perfection. So whether or not I like the guy, the player, or the group he was affiliated with, I can not point out many weaknesses in his game, other than he was not a gifted runner, especially when the game was on the line. And no lead seemed safe when he put his mind to making a comeback. For me, the Atlanta game might have been the most painful, partly because they "choked" (and I do not like using that word), with pathetic time management and some degree of panic. But it was Brady leading his gang back in a way that few other QBs could.
I do not like calling him the GOAT, but he ranks up there. The rings alone make this an easy choice. But I gauge competitors by the way they scare me when not on my team, and how much I love having them on my team. The dude scared me....a lot.
I was happy when he left the pats, and glad he made the transition as if he had grown tired of the pats. I recall telling folks back then that I expected Tampa to probably make the playoffs under his leadership, even though not everyone saw it that way. But cmon....another ring!!!! This guy is good!!
So congratz to you Tom Brady. You were an incredible QB! Good luck in your travels.
