A lot of people have complained about Brady's play last year, but I have high expectations for improvement. I think he improved quite a bit last year and has a lot of potential. I am not some sort of great judge of football skill but derive this opinion based on several inputs:
1) He is a converted Defensive end and is still learning.
2) The only stats I can find on him are 6 foot 3 inches 250 lbs running a 4.60
3) Missed almost all training camp 2005, then missed most of the rest of the year with a torn anterior cruciate ligament. Came back earlier than they predicted (still missed a bunch of the earlier practices). - so to me this is really his second year.
4) Always described as a guy with a non-stop motor.
Contrast it with the guy that a lot of people think will take over Barnett's job:
Abdul Hodge
6-0 236 4.76
Now I no there is a lot more like instincts, heart, experience and smarts but I do not know why Brady cannot make SAM linebacker a team strength. My biggest worry would be injury.
