| Is Tom Brady Still Mr. Clutch?
Tom Brady's legacy as a "clutch" performer is reliant on his 3 SB's for support. The problem is I think he gets way too much credit for those championships. The D was insane, Brady won his first SB with only like 3 offensive TD's in 4 playoff games.
Since Brady has come into his prime (post Spygate) the Patriots have 0 championships and Tom Brady has a playoff record of 7-6. Wha' happen? |

| I voted no. Like you said those defenses were great, he was nothing more than a game manager. He also had the most clutch kicker in the history of the league. Without Adam V and those great defenses he has 0 SB wins. | |

The game shouldn't have been close for a miracle play to make a difference. | |

A field goal there by the pats seals the game probably. | |

Welker is getting torched cause he got both hands on it, but the dude had to make a tough adjustment because Brady threw it high and over the wrong shoulder of a wide open guy.
But I think he was talking about SB XLII, anyways | |

| Brady is a very good qb. But playing for bellicheat gets him the extra hype. Consider the back up qb won 10 games. Always thought if Brady & Manning switched teams, Peyton would have 3 rings and Brady would probably be considered an above average qb. | |

| If Indy had a backup that was more along the talent of a Cassell rather than a Painter, they would have won a lot more games. | |

He was no more than Brad Johnson or Trent Dilfer for his 3 rings. | |
