Tom Brady
Tom Brady's casualty on Sunday September the 7th, left some teams breathing better and others are holding there gasp.
Can win Super Bowls, post big numbers, sell your product, whatever. The greatest QB of this generation.
New York's performance was so impressive that Football America seems to have almost forgotten about Brady's mind-boggling 50 touchdown passes and 117 rating.
Instead, the focus is on the flaws of New England's offense that were exposed in Arizona. After seeing Brady pick apart Jacksonville's conservative three-man pass-rush in the Wild Card round, Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo predicated his Super Bowl game plan on pressuring the passer.
Indeed, virtually every quarterback struggles with defenders in his face--and Brady is no exception.
While courageous and poised in the pocket, the ninth- year veteran does not have an innately rocket arm like a Carson Palmer or a Brett Favre.
Brady's precision and velocity derive from his textbook mechanics--which can't be executed with defenders invading his space.
The backup plan behind Brady is uncertain, as Matt Cassel, Matt Gutierrez, and rookie Kevin O'Connell (3rd Round, San Diego State) were all vying for those duties in training camp.
