Re: Giants won a great game, Brady not an average QB
by Benslate

I agree that Brady's very much an above average QB. Really, everyone knows that; but last night he did have a bad game. It happens to everyone, but according to the sports pundits this year, he's supposedly up there with Unitas and Montana as an all time great. Now people will question that.

A lot of it had to do with the Giants defense. They almost completely shut down Moss as an option, and forced Brady to improvise, which it turns out, he wasn't able to do terribly well. It's been said a lot but it's worth repeating: the Patriots O-line and their receivers were the best this year. Most NFL QBs would have decent numbers with that kind of pass protection and those kinds of targets. Doesn't mean Brady isn't a great quarterback, but he was DEFINITELY overhyped by the media this year.
