Nothing absurd about the OP. Just his first comment on Brady not being elite.
Re: Midget Offense in Full Display
OP's logic, any good QB not drafted high is a system QB! Kurt Warner was never elite, there was a reason he was never drafted....Montana 3rd rounder he is a scrub.
Re: Midget Offense in Full Display
He doesn't have to be very accurate with the deep ball because he can hit a dime with the nose of the football from 20 yards and in. That combined with his extremely high IQ of what opposing defenses are doing make him one of the greatest of all time. You dont win multiple Super Bowls in a decade with a system quarterback.

But I granted several times he is "elite." The fact that I use quotes is because I think this word is abused and overused, and I do not like it. It's just a label. Nobody knows what "elite" means, except, apparently, the talking heads.

Knowing which plays the opposition is running sure helps, though.

Point taken.

Brady's a 1st ballot HoF'er.
Randy Moss made Daunte Culpepper look like a HOF'er. So I don't think that's a great argument.
The reason Brady is a HOF'er, in addition to the tainted rings, is the dink-and-dunk offense. I don't think there can be any doubt about that.
Re: Midget Offense in Full Display
I am probably biased towards Brady, but take a look at our WR and overall roster in 2006. Tom was a Reche Caldwell drop away from taking us to the superbowl. The 2003 team didn't have a legitmate #1 WR and Antowain Smith was the RB.

Well if you don't know what the word means or much less like using it, then don't use it. I guess from now one we'll call guys like Brady, Brees and Rodgers good okay?

But he found a coach in NE who literally made him into "elite" byndeveloping this dink-and-dunk offense system, with fast smallish receivers.
The Ravens, I should say the Ravens and the Ravens crowd, finally got to him in those last two drives, and that's what won the game.
brady wasnt accurate over 15 when they had moss?

Playing with #80 did not hurt his cause, did it. But yes, Montana was a great QB. Not Unitas-great, but probably the second best.
