Fair point, except I am unsure even that applies to Rodgers Joel Send a noteboard - 03/02/2018 06:35:38 AM

Most of even the greatest QBs are at least below average at a few of the many parts of being a starting QB; I am hard pressed to think of anything at which Rodgers does not excel. He gets a hard rap for losing playoff games, but is usually on the sidelines when it happens, often with a lead. When the best argument against a QB is "the two-score 4th qtr lead he provided was not enough" that is not much of an argument; as you say, DEFENDING that lead is not his job.


View original postAnd it is the best way to beat Brady. You just have to do while still defending against the run and with only occasional usually very well disguised blitzes because he is ne of the best at punishing the blitz. Very few teams can do it and maintain it because the Patriots are one of the teams at in game adjustments. Any player and any team is beatable, some are just much harder to beat than others.

Meh; defending the run against NE* is a waste of time and resources: They SUCK at and rarely use it (they have had a top ten rushing average all of three times under Belicheat, and BOTTOM FIVE far more often) so defending the run just invites Brady to dink and dunk you to death with Gronk and his No Name Receiving Corps, which is what they vastly prefer anyway.
View original postEli did not beat Brady. The Giants as a team beat the Patriots as a team. As long as people continue to judge a single player based on the performance of the entire team they will continue to be wrong. The QB is the most important player but he is only one player and he is only on the field for half the game. The QB vs QB battle argument makes even less sense we you remember they are not even on the field at the same time. The Giants defense beat the Brady offense and the Patriot defense failed to beat the Eli offense. Neither of those player play defense.

Who said Eli beat Brady? Going for 4th and 13 with a 4 point lead late in the 3rd and a clutch kicker who can hit from 48 in his sleep beat Brady as much as Elis elusiveness or the Helmet Catch. Brady set up his own beating in the rematch when the Giants took the opening drive to just outside FG range, PUNTED like a sane team and watched the ball roll out at the 2-yard-line, after which Bradys first SB LXVI play was a deep post to NO ONE, earning a penalty for grounding that gave the Giants the ball and a 2-0 lead, which they quickly extended to 9-0, leaving NE* down two scores near the end of a first quarter in which their D had been on the field for all but a SINGLE scrimmage play, while an elite Giants D sipped Gatorade and just tried to stay loose enough to stop the comeback.

Yet if people want to nationally stroke off a proven, proud and unrepentant cheater yet again, they better be prepared for all the arguments he is NOT the GoAT, and those comparisons only tangentially relate to those all-important supporting casts.
