Yea funny how in one circumstance it was Kap's & Jim's fault in our loss, but in Atlanta's loss, it was clearly the patriots just stepping up at the right moment and Kyle called everything right! Lol
What's also funny is how these FQB's are the save all for the teams in some people's eyes.
Flacco, Rivers, Carr now, Luck, Kirk now, etc how has that worked out for those teams, lol
Don't get it twisted now, it takes a quality qb to "help" your team win, but It still takes a whole team, especially a defense...
Brady's defense has been ranked how high in all his SB years? Look it up.. pretty high..
And brady, who got the qb job because Bledsoe got lit up wasn't this great qb... it took years for him to develop, behind what??? A Stellar defense each year!
And Bellacheat put brady in due to bledsoes injury so it's not like Bellacheat had this great foresight to put brady in.
And Bledsoe was playing at a pretty high level.. wasn't Bledsoe considered a "FQB".
Quality qb play and stellar defense's give the best chance to win, and win big.
Where to begin with this...
1. Our team was WAY more talented than the Ravens in 2012 and we got our asses handed to us in the first half. That shows a major sign of being unprepared to face a lesser talented team coached by the guy he knew incredibly close.
2. Nobody said Kyle called everything right but that offense was nearly impossible to stop due to Kyle's playcalling and the players on that roster. This is arguably one of the better offensive playcallers in the game with one of the best offenses in the league squaring up against one of the best defensive coaches in the game. However blaming Shanahan for choking away the SB is incredibly dumb when the team had a 28-3 lead that they blew. How you can blame the offensive coordinator for that is beyond me...
3. If you find that elite QB you will have a chance to get into the playoffs every season. Yes you need a good team or one guy isn't doing much but to win a SB with a mediocre QB you need studs pretty much everywhere else. What's easier to do build a decent team around a great QB or build a great team around a decent QB? Simple math there...1 vs 21. And I'd say Ravens are pretty happy with Flacco and the SB he won them. Rivers hasn't had much help and Carr is looking great.
4. Brady has won with pretty much every team put around him. His defenses have not been THAT impressive. You want to see a QB with crazy defenses? Check our very own Joe Montana.
5. Brady showed enough his rookie season to be kept on the roster as a 4th QB. Want to tell me how often teams keep 4 QBs on the roster with that 4th QB being a 6th round pick? Obviously he showed something to Belichick(Bellacheat...really? What are you 5?) and it takes balls to keep a guy like that on the roster and cut someone at another position.
6. Brady led the league in TDs his second season starting with scrubs to throw to. The idea that it took him years to develop is just inaccurate. The first season the Pats actually made it a point to get him some weapons he broke all sorts of passing records and was one miracle play by Eli and the Giants away from winning his 4th SB with a perfect record.
You final point is accurate. It's difficult to win games if you don't have a good team and especially a good defense but everything above that point is supremely flawed.
