[QUOTE="Magooch, post: 1063888, member: 17987"] I don't think Brady is the most talented, the smartest, the most accurate, or any of that stuff. I mean, take our own Rodgers for instance. By just about every statistical measure he is superior to Brady, and yes, that IS including playoffs: he's more accurate, higher TD percentage, lower INT percentage, higher passer rating, superior in Y/A (and NY/A, and ANY/A), he was a more dangerous ballcarrier, puts more throws on target, and so on. But Brady has 7 titles to Rodgers' 1. But, all that to say, I don't know what you want to call it but while yes - there were a lot of factors working in his favor (Belichick, elite defenses, braindead moments from the opponent) - Brady often just seemed to have that air of inevitability about him. Like when all the chips were down, if he had an opportunity, it always felt like he was going to come away the winner. Maybe that is buying into the hype, maybe players started to believe the "myth" a bit too much, I don't know. In some ways I feel like it kind of reminds me of a football-version of Kobe. He was not the talented player ever. He had a tendency to play selfish at times. He would sometimes want to play "hero-ball" instead of making the "smarter" play. But he was also the guy that you always wanted to take the last shot and who would never shy away from the moment. He never wilted under pressure, he had no problem being the "villain" and he was more than happy to take responsibility in the biggest moments, win or lose. Just an ultimate competitor and a serial winner. In the same way, like I said...Brady had a lot that would go his way. He seemed to get more "lucky" breaks than others would, and could at times be bailed out by extenuating circumstances. But he never wilted under the spotlights and when the pressure was on, if he had the chance to rip away a victory, more often than not it seemed like he did... Really interesting player to me overall. To be honest I think you could come up with a LONG list of guys who are more talented, smarter, more accurate, better arm, better ballcarriers, more mobile, and so on...but on the flip side if you had to make a list of guys you'd want to have the ball in their hands in big game-deciding moments, the number of guys before Brady is probably gonna be a pretty short list...
