LOL at this Brady news. Brady showed his age last year and had no arm strength or accuracy. Guy needs to retire. I'm fine with Jimmy G.
Oof.
Brady sukkedvin the super bowl. Peyton like.
Maybe 2004 regular season Peyton.
But if we want to make the comparison:
Jimmy in the 2019 playoffs: 75.9 QB rating. 
Peyton in the 2015 playoffs when he was considered to be completely done and was carried by the defense: 75.4 QB rating.
Tom Brady in the 2020 playoffs: 98.1 QB rating. 
Yeach we all watched that saints game. 
If one game made a career, Marcus Mariota would be a lock for the Hall of Fame due to his first game, in which he threw four touchdowns, zero interceptions and had a perfect passer rating.
Half the QBs would be in the HOF if it was just based on 1 game lol.
u mean just like you all time fave MULLENS after the Raider game??
The difference is once Mullens showed what he truly was, people got off the bandwagon. Half the fan base still hasn't for Average Jimmy.
Number one, I don't know if that's true. I especially don't know if that's true after the last game.
Number two, even if it is true, there are reasons for that.
Reason one would be this move/desire to dump him going back to when he was playing pretty well in 2019. Either in the playoffs or after the Super Bowl. Yes, the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl was awful. It also wasn't all on him although perhaps he showed he wasn't going to be couldn't be this superhuman take charge elite QB when things around him went bad.
Reason two would be give us a better option. It's not on the board or the fan base of course to give us a better option, but on the GM and the coach, give us a better option then. Don't talk about, "we want better". Don't talk about, "We can or should try to do better." I saw someone in this thread or one of the threads yesterday say that he wanted an elite QB. Okay, great. Like Baldinger said when he said Jimmy wasn't playing well enough, there are maybe 5 elite QB's in this league. One of those elite QB's is playing like crap right now in Kansas City himself. He won't continue to do so for the remainder of his career or even this year probably. But right now he is. So people might
want an elite QB. I might
want a billion dollars. Trey Lance has a better/more desirable skillset. We'll find out probably sooner rather than later if he's truly better and after that if he is anywhere close to elite.
Reason three would be one can see first hand with our franchise and other franchises how instability at either the head coach or the quarterback positions, or both, can wreck a team for a period of time. We went through three head coaches in as many years. How many quarterbacks post Young and even post Garcia? Jeff Garcia, maybe Alex Smith, was the last reasonably stable QB we had for some period of time and Alex struggled early in his career with all the different coordinators. If you want to say Kap because he looked great briefly, fine. But he regressed like or worse than Jimmy very quickly and then decided he'd rather be a social justice warrior than a QB.
Here in Ohio the Browns became infamous for having/trying a zillion QB's. The Bengals didn't truly find a reasonable guy at the position poster Esiason until, what, literally Andy Dalton? I take that back I guess Carson Palmer. But it took a while. I think sometimes even though they deny it, fans of this franchise have the attitude of "Oh we had Joe and we had Steve. Go get another guy like that." Guys like that don't come along very often and that's why they're both in the Hall of Fame.
Jimmy and Mullens are of course apples to oranges anyway. People moved quickly off of Mullens because at the end of the day he was an undrafted free agent who was never on an active 53 man roster until injuries happened. Jimmy was one of the highest rated QB's in his draft class, a second round pick, and until he was traded the presumed successor to Brady in New England. The only QB btw that they had brought in that was presumed to be good enough to one day take Brady's spot. So there is always going to be some sense of, "there's something in there with this guy" even if it's unbridled optimism and wishful thinking to a degree at this point.
