Brady has been the starter for 10 seasons (counting this one), 11 if you count 2001. Q - During that time how many were there less than 10 wins?
A - One, at 9-7 in 2002.
Q - How many of less than 12 wins?
A - Three (two at 10-6, one at 9-7). Four if you count 2001 at 11-5.
Never a losing season and not making the playoffs twice because of tie breakers. We should all be very thankful to have had him and hope it continues for at least another five years.

We need to cut Brady. I read in another thread here that he's been throwing low to his receivers and some have said he's terrible.... Since it was said here where all the experts troll, I KNOW we should cut him..... TODAY.
The real post is below:
Rarely have I seen such discontent with great success and most of that discontent driven by the need of some forum posters to make themselves look like the experts they really aren't. -

Yes, and that time they missed the playoffs the second Cassell was the QB. Brady has never had a losing or even .500 record. -

Brady is one of the few constants. The difference between now and his early years is that he didn't have to carry the entire team on his back. He could have an average or medicore game and the defense would be there to pick him up. Now it's all in...as he goes, we go.In 2002, he was pretty well broken...he had no business playing toward the end with that shoulder.I don't have many complaints, but there are things I'd like to see more. I'd like to see him develop some home grown receivers...how Brees has done in NO, Rodgers in GB, Rivers in SD...and of course both Mannings. But I'm nitpicking... -

At the end of 2001, I felt Bledsoe was the better QB at that time. By mid 2003, Brady had far surpassed where Bledsoe was. Since then he has gotten better and better with each passing year. (I take the last three years as combined and feel he is at his peak). -

Posted by sheldongMany here on this list would want to waste Brady's talents and have him hand it off 40 times a game for 40 yards. Bledsoe could do that, that was all he was fit for (or throwing picks to James Farrior, his favorite receiver). -

This here thing that we all have enjoyed for the past decade is not a cult to a particular person. There have been a wide range of contributors, from the supremely talented HOF-anointed to the walk-on, give-me-a-taste, sloggers. Who would want it any other way?

Hey Shel !!!!
Top three QBs during my time would be TFB, Steve Grogan and then Drew. Could not get over Steve still having a record for QB running TDs that Newton just broke a week or so ago. Do you...or anyone else... know if Steve did it during a 14 or 16 game season? -

Posted by bradleyBlissGrogs had 12 rushing TD's in 1976, in 14 games. Once upon a time he was a serious threat as a runner. Had 500+ yards in 1978, also in 14 games. And those who say Drew was only good enough to hand off are dead wrong. For long stretches when the Pats were awful he was one of the few reasons to watch. Without him the stadium probably doesn't get built and they play in Hartford instead. And he was THE major reason they get to the SB in 1996. If they could have tackled Desmond Howard they may have won. And nobody sane wants Brady to hand it off 40 times a game. But 30 times might be nice, since they usually run 65-70 plays a game I think. Keeps our defense off the field and keeps Tom from takimg unnecessary punishment. -

Brady was better than Bledsoe from day one. He knew how to do the one thing Drew just couldn't do. Take care of the ball. -

Grogan was a real good QB when he could run. He was never anything more than an average passer. -

Pats' offense has had to settle for way too many FGs within the redzone this season. Brady might have replicated his 50 td season of 07 if they'd been able to convert more often this season in the redzone. Actually, I haven't checked how many shots they've had; he's got 36 TDs right now. If he throws for 3 on Sunday, he'd be at 39. That's 11 FGs in the RZ that needed to be TDs.
Two seasons with 50 TDs? That would end a lot of arguments... -

Not complaining, 66. Read my post...it's in praise of Brady.
Just playing with numbers. The media has been all about Rodgers and Brees this season, but they've neglected to show TBs stats in such light.
Weren't you the guy who posted a thread entitled "I apologize"? Or was that just hypocrisy? Show some freaking respect for people. A lot of people give you a wide lattitude; do you not read their comments?
Peace in 2012. Why be such a **** all the time? -

They could throw the TDs in stead of running them in since they are one of the best teams in the NFL in terms of most rushing TDs with 16. I tend to think alot of these passing record type numbers are a product of poor defense and rushing and I don't care to see them. If I recall in 2007 the RBs couldn't convert a 1st and goal and Brady had to throw it in after failed attempts by the runners, this year the RBs are getting in the end zone (including Brady). I also don't think you get to 5000 yards without the defense putting the offense in long fields, like after a kickoff.
