I don't really get her as a model, but she is obviously one heck of a businesswoman!

I agree, Aaron Rodgers is a much better QB than Tom Brady. Put Brady on GB's existing squad & see what happens!!

You have Tom Landry as 3rd on your head coach list...Right? LOL!

Aaron Rodgers, now you're talking!
 
In my strong opinion Tom Brady is better than Aaron Rogers any day of the week that ends with a y.

And everyone who says .... It's the team... It's the coach.... It's his players around him...

Well guess what... The EXACT same thing could be said of Joe Montana, John Elway, Dan Marino, Johnny Unitas, Bart Starr etc... Those players all had good or very good players around them too. Joe Montana had good players around him the whole time while winning 4 Super Bowl games. Everyone and I mean everyone forgets that John Elway was considered a bigtime loser for much of his career. After losing 39-20 to a very good NY Giants team, then losing 42-10 to the Redskins and finally the massive loss to a great 49ers team 55-10 EVERYONE thought John Elway was a total loser. Nevermind that John Elway carried a team that was decent at best against teams that we're far better than his own. Well.... After several not good years many thought John Elway was not ever going to win a Super Bowl. Has fate would have it the Denver Broncos stumbled upon Terell Davis at RB. Him plus a much improved offensive line helped make the Denver Broncos into a real team capable of winning against the NFC's best. With a 31-24 win over the GB Packers everyone suddenly thought John Elway was a winner. Then the next season after a 34-19 win over the Atlanta Falcons no doubt was left about John Elway being a winner. So.... Was John Elway a better player in the 97-98 NFL season or just the fact that he actually had a great offensive line and a great running back to lean on helped make it possible for him to win?? John was not a "better" player than he had been in the 86-87 NFL season. It was the fact that his team had gotten much better around him over a decade later.

The team around a player, the coaches around a player certainly make a difference in how things turn out. Football is rather hard to boil down to an individual player based upon that stated reality. Many would say that Dan Marino would have been a great QB anywhere he played. And I would agree with that analysis. However, when it comes down to Tom Brady or Joe Montana many seem to struggle with thinking the same thing about them. Many like to say, "ohh it was head coach Bill Walsh or the west coast system or it's all Bill Bellichek." Well, I believe that Tom Brady or Joe Montana would likely have played well elsewhere. Joe played very well with the KC Chiefs at the very end of his career. I am not saying that coaching does it matter. It certainly does matter. And, yes it was fortuitous that Joe Montana was drafted by the 49ers and that Tom Brady was drafted by the NE Patriots. But, ultimately what made those two guys all times greats was not their head coaches, not the "systems" they played in. What made Bart Starr, Joe Montana and Tom Brady all time greats was that they understood the need to get better each year, the necessity to stay focused, the understanding that even after winning a first championship that they still needed to work hard. That's what made those guys all time great players. Not physical talents, not "great" head coaches, and not systems.

Many people may not notice this but Tom Brady was a very good passer of the football when he came into the NFL. He could locate and put the ball where it needed to be. But, he was not a good thrower of the ball. Go back and watch the games he played in his first NFL season. Then flash forward to say 5 years later. Watch how much harder and better he throws the ball then. It is a big difference. Why was that? Because he got better with his footwork, better mechanics throwing the ball and stronger physically. I saw a preseason game in 2008 where he threw a TD to Randy Moss and it was a 40 yd throw. That ball was thrown on a rope. Tom Brady could not have made that type of throw when he came into the league. But, he got a lot better at throwing the football. And yet he still maintained his passing ability while becoming a far better thrower of the football. Another player who has done this just as well... Drew Brees. Go back and watch his early games. Then watch Drew throw the football five or six years later. Same thing.

Why would I take Tom Brady over Aaron Rogers is due to performance over the same time in their careers. Tom Brady won 3/4 Super Bowl games in his first 4 years as a starter. Aaron Rogers has 1 in his first 4 years. Aaron Rogers had a 15-1 GB Packers team lose badly to a NY Giants team 44-20 I believe, at home, heavily favored and Aaron Rogers played very poorly in that game. So, in the same span of time for both of their careers I would take Tom Brady everyday all day.

Now, to be fair, having said that... Aaron Rogers is not done writing his career book so to speak. He will likely have more chances to win one,two or who knows 3 more Super Bowl games. That is certainly possible. Aaron is a tremendous player. He has won games that seemed unwinnable at times. The game in Arizona a couple of years ago certainly comes to mind. Even the win in Dallas was very impressive. Aaron can throw the ball on the run as well as anyone who's ever played in the NFL. I would say Aaron Rogers is just as good as John Elway was at that. And that is saying a whole lot. Aaron may well be right up there with Joe Montana and Tom Brady at the end of his career. We will see...

You must not be familiar with TPMS. If you were, you would know how much weather and temperature effects air pressure.
 
Brady injured his throwing hand at practice yesterday. Xrays negative, but he's skipping practice again today, and skipping out on the press. Uh oh..

You are so wrong.
Like Brady or not,he does more with less than any QB I have ever seen.
None of his receivers could start for most teams but he still wins.put all the bias aside and just enjoy what little time is left to see Brady play.
What he did in last years SB is amazing.
And I'm a Cowboy fan.
I remember watching Roger getting near the end and not really appreciating each game.
Just enjoy great football regardless of team
 
Wow on Hoyer, he played for the Browns back in 2014 and is a local guy. Actually won a few games before being hurt and this was right around the Johnny Manziel debacle. He really wanted to play here which is rare.

Look forward to the games!

The last thing I want from this football season is to see the Pats lose, and I don't care who beats them.
 
What if Brady's injury is some sorta Jedi mind trick? Now the Jaguars have to figure out plays based on Hoyer who is pretty unknown. Confusion to the enemy The interviews were classic Belichick, followed hours later by Brady wearing a grin that was so big, I was expecting him to disappear like the Cheshire Cat. Reporters left the interviews knowing less than when they came in.

The more time spent on Hoyer is less spent on Brady.
Pats are not going to make anything easy.
Who really thinks 12 won't play?
Thought so.

The Patriots system turned an undersized, undrafted free agent wide reciever into a superstar.
 
....these its the system guys...

Montana had a GREAT West Coast Walsh system with a GREAT WR. Bradshaw threw to TWO HOF Wrs
Staubach ( underrated ) had a great system with very talented HOF's around him as did Aikman.

soooo Most great QBs had a system. While guys like Marino and Rodgers are great in their own right.

The ability to think quickly and decisively followed by an athletic throw or run while 300 lb manimals are attempting to SLAM you into the earth makes this the toughest position to play and produce in all of sport.

With Bradys winning record, super bowls and individual yardage records etc. clearly makes him the GOAT of this generation.
 
The GOAT debate will always depend on your perspective. Does GOAT = most accomplished? If so then of coarse he's the GOAT (as long as we're only looking at the super bowl era). I don't personally go by this metric because football is a 53 man team and there is a huge dependency on coaching (if we were talking tennis I'd give much more weight to number of championships).

I think Brady is great (rooted for him last super bowl because I thought Goodell screwed him), top 10 of all time, but not the GOAT. With an average to below average quarterback NE is an 11-5 team (Matt Cassel), 3-1 team (Jimmy G, Brisset). With Tom Brady because he is great puts them over the top with a 12-4 - 14-2 team and super bowl contender. Now look at another perennial playoff team in GB and they showed they were a bad team that couldn't even sniff the playoffs without Rodgers. Go back a few years when Peyton Manning was winning 12 - 14 games a year. He got injured and with the same roster.without him went 2 - 14 (manning is 3-1 against Brady in AFC championship games).

It's all subjective, but I don't have much doubt Brady wouldn't have enjoyed the same successes if he'd been on a different team. No doubt he would have elevated them and I sure wish my team had gotten him (then again my team is the Titans, bet if Jeff Fisher, the qb killer had gotten a hold of Brady no one would have ever heard of him)
