What game was that? That may be more a function of the backup QB than anything. You can't put an incompetent in his spot and expect any success but I fully believe there are 40 QBs in the league that could take Brady's spot and at least still be among the better teams in the league.

Actually, he is probably the best argument for what I am saying. He managed to take a less talented Bears team to a 13-3 record and the Super Bowl.

Yeah, Brady has led his team to three Super Bowl wins and is a first ballot hall of famer because any one of 40 guys could come in and do his job as well or nearly as well as he does it.

I said anyone that replaced Brady would not be as good as him. All I was saying is the Patriots would not crumble if they lost him. They'd still be among the three or four best teams in the NFL. Their defense is as good as the Bears defense that led them to a Super Bowl and their offense with Grossman at QB would dwarf the talent on the Bears offense that went to the Super Bowl.

I can't even comment on the 40 Qb thing. If you really think brady is not that important to the team, why do you think they pay him all that money? I hate Brady, but he is accurate and a leader. Very few QB"S in the league like that.

The pats defense is not anywhere near as good as the bears defense.

'06 Bears allowed 294.1 YPG and 15.9 PPG. '07 Patriots have allowed 275.2 YPG and 16.3 PPG. When you factor in that teams with a big lead often allow meaningless yards and points late in the game the numbers are even more impressive.

Oh, and the offenses the '07 Patriots have played against dwarf the offenses the '06 Bears faced.

Actually Brady is vastly underpaid, in fact I think he's an idiot if he doesn't ask for a new contract after this year. It has nothing to do with Brady's talents. It has to do with the Patriots being a good enough team that they could still be successful without Brady. The QB that stepped in for Brady certainly wouldn't be throwing up a 131 QB rating but the Patriots would still be winning football games.

Of course they would win games, but they wouldn't be a super bowl contender. What qb would have brought the pats back at indy last week. Thats where brady makes his money.
