Hey Iceness, I posted this video the other day...
http://youtube.com/watch?v=eZ_zbxt9q2c
I didnt watch the whole thing through untill now. My question now is, why the hell wasnt this guy drafted earlier than the 6th round? If you watch the video, all the way through...The "weak" arm, theory gets put to rest. There was probably 6-7 times in this video that he throws it 50-60 yards down the field accurately. Even in college, first highlight of the video.
The other thing, I noticed, watch his feet, no happy feet. Just like he is now, stays calm in the pocket, and steps up, to avoid the pass rush. Not to mention, he checked off his receivers in college better than 95% of the QB's in the NFL right now!
Then, later in the video, it highlights his game winning drives, in the superbowl.
I truly believe if he was picked, 1-3 in the draft, and had crazy hype coming out of college, while putting up his numbers now, and doing what he has done people would start calling this guy goat, kinda like Jordan after his 7-8 years.
You also have to wonder, if he had a superstar at wide receiver, instead of a bunch of slot guys, would his numbers be just as gody, as any other QB's? I think they would...
The guy is just everything you want in a QB. Size, accuracy, throwing power, field general, and just a smart overall player, he has pretty much mastered the position. The only knock I guess you could say, is he is not an overly athletic guy. But Lets be honest, pocket passers win superbowls, and running QB's do not. He knows when to step into the pocket and avoid the hit...
PS: Tom Brady this year, has made it into my man crush rankings. He joins Elway, Montana, Champ Bailey, Shannon Sharp, Atwater, etc...
