Brady is like Barry Bonds. Asterisk next to that GOAT title.

Montana, Manning , Favre, <insert favorite> never played on teams that were blatantly caught cheating multiple times let alone individually. If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying? Naw New England had an unbelievable run in an era of football with the greatest parity imo.

Eff Brady. Manning is my GOAT.

New England cheating is definitely a mark for me especially on bellicheck. In 6 seasons with two teams before Tom he had 5 losing seasons. Dude gets lucky with Tom and then all the spy gate, deflate gate, this latest video and god knows what else.

I gotta defend my boy bonds tho. Everyone and their mother was taking something in the 80s and 90s and on into the 2ks. So i really don’t care about That stuff. He was an absolute unit.

The cheating but the continued success after Brady was out for the season vs. the colts getting the first pick in the draft when Manning went out shows me who benefitted from who.

Its Manning for me and it's not close. Has nothing to do with UT either.

Yep that's what they got caught doing. No telling what they got away with.

Disagree on Bonds . Hank Aaron is still the GOAT imo.

Bernard Pollard was on the Will Cain Show on Friday. He surprised Will by saying that Manning is his #1. He said you can rattle Brady but you couldn’t rattle Manning. Will asked why Manning had bad playoff games, and Pollard said because he had all of the control and could do what he wanted. Brady is more in a system. I believe Pollard said he only beat Manning once and that was late in his career. He beat Brady multiple times. Thought it was very interesting from an opponent who played in the secondary.

I heard that as well and Will thought he was out of his mind. Wills only argument was Brady had 6 rings.

Bruh, then been doing that to my guy since the ran him out of San Diego. Worse descion my NFL squad ever made. I still can’t forgive em for it, but even in New Orleans he still gets looked after her by a lot of people. Dude is a Gamer, and a genuinely good person on top of that!!

Weird how he went from elite to mediocre in a matter of a year in recruiting.

I’d be interested to see if that’s a common thing around the country. I don’t follow recruiting nationally enough to know but I wonder if the “recruiter of the year” rankings are super cyclical.

I think Bennett has a chance to replace Taylor with little to no drop off and maybe be better
ton of opportunities for our players to get better and move up the depth chart This off-season
Be interesting to see who steps up to replace Jennings and bituli as our new team leaders
Could be a big step forward this year but at the same time we could go backwards, hope our guys keep progressing

They missed the playoffs without Brady that year. Also not sure why that one year takes precedence over the other 5 where bill was awful without Brady.

Also If you’re using that reason to crown manning then sounds like you’re with me on the Lebron goat train since the cavs went to sh** twice when he left as well as the heat. Bulls won one less game and swept a playoff series when Jordan bailed on his team.

Welcome aboard friend. The water is fine!!!!

Taylor’s amount of impact wasn’t measurable into stats. He got doubled a lot. He’s going to be missed. I think he will be a steal in the 4th or 5th round.

Might be blasphemy but feels like Nieds has whiffed on everyone this year.

David Johnson was the recruiting mvp this year.

I think it’s just a cyclical thing really. Especially with where are programs at. Hard to be a top recruiter consecutively at UT given are last decade of play. I think that changes going forward and you see more assistants at UT having monster years on consecutive cycles. Getting 1o wins every season will do that for us to he best though

Basketball and football are entirely different, but you know that. so you won't get bball talk out of this, chief.

Jordan and Lebron played in two different eras. Manning and Brady played in the same. Your sauce is mild.

Just embrace it bud. You’ve been on the right train and didn’t even know it. So proud of you.
