looks like the defense and special teams helped with Brady's rings a TON

every quarterback's production falls off in the playoffs, Brady isn't some golden god

I can see why so many people hate him because he is THAT good. Manning is that good too, they are the best 2 in the game and will both be top 5 when they hang them up.

Yeah my comment was mostly directed at those who somehow think that manning would not have won those rings with those teams and that coach

although I hate belichick and everything Pats-related, you have to admit that they have one of the best run organizations - they are very good at finding and developing new talent, getting the most out of "mediocre" veterans, and staying in a reasonable salary cap position. And I very rarely see the Pats get outcoached.

However, although he is very good, I think that Brady is somewhat-to-very overrated, partially due to ESPN's constant nut-hugging.

It's somewhat like a quote that has stuck in my head from John Elway's retirement article in SI way back when: "Put John Elway behind all those 49er lines, and he still gets the rings. But put Joe Montana behind those old Broncos lines, and he's either dead or selling insurance by 30"

That is not to say that Peyton = Elway. he's had some offensive talent, partially because he makes them good (delivering the ball quickly to avoid sacks, etc), partially because they are studs. but it is to say that Tom Brady is overrated IMO.
