Exactly. Tom Brady is a great QB, and he didn't come out of Bridgette Moynahan early.

I am in no way disputing this. As an LSU fan I wished he had stayed another year. But I still like the guy. If he is a bust, as least he'll be rich as hell! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I'm really just saying, let's wait and see before we declare him a bust. He has not even taken an NFL snap yet!

So the major sports are? Football and basketball? Then yes you are correct.

What planet do you live on? Did you ever watch him play?


[/ QUOTE ]
Yeah, I watched him play for 3 years.

I think part of the reason why his decisions making was poor early in his career was because, as I pointed out, he thinks he can make plays that he can't. As he matured as a player and got better coaching his decisions improved and he threw for a >65% completion.

His raw talent is in the to tier of all NFL Qb's. It's going to be a matter of harnessing that talent and putting it to work.

Plus he's just intimidating as hell to look at IRL. The TV doesn't do him justice.
