Brady Getting 4th on “NFL’s Top 100″ is a Crime Against Humanity
NFL.com – Tom Brady’s 2010 regular season featured one of the prettiest stat lines in NFL history. .. So how did Brady follow up his MVP performance? In 2011, he set career highs in completions (611), attempts (401), yards (5,235), yards per attempt (8.6) and even rushing scores (3). He threw 39 touchdowns and became one of only four players in history to throw for 5,000 yards in a season. He nearly won the Super Bowl with a team that only had trace remnants of a defense or running game. And still, Brady lost hold on his No. 1 spot in NFL Network’s “The Top 100: Players of 2012″ list. He came in at No. 4, behind Aaron Rodgers, Calvin Johnson and Drew Brees. This is patently absurd.
Amen! Preach on, brother! Testify! Look, I know that we’re in lowest point of the Death Valley of the NFL calendar, so NFL Net puts on this show to stir controversy and keep people talking football. And as much as I want to avoid getting snared in their little web, this is too much of a travesty to suffer quietly.
Tom Brady is only the 4th best player in league? Behind two other quarterbacks and a goddamned wide receiver? Taking nothing away from Rodgers, Brees and Johnson who are all swell. But are you fucking kidding me? Maybe you can lay out Rodgers’ and Brees’ stats and make them dance and convince yourself Brady was only the third best quarterback in 2011. Though you’d have to be blind to the fact that Brady’s only legitimate, experienced outside-the-numbers deep threat was a fucking moron who admits now he never had the slightest grasp of the offense. And that Brady did it all with two slot guys in their 30s and two tight ends. But at least you’d have the semblance of an argument. But how on God’s green Earth do you make a case that any wideout was better than him? Megatron is the best in the business, no doubt. But how can you say his 6.0 catches a game and his 110 more receiving yards than Wes Welker puts him ahead of the guy who took the ball every snap and carried the 31st ranked defense to the Super Bowl?
And the worst part is, this was voted on by NFL players, who obviously have had it up to their concussed brains with hearing how awesome Brady is and this is just the backlash. (Though it was pretty damned satisfying to hear Darrelle Revis call him “The best. The best ever. Just the best.”) I’ve always been a huge fan of democracy. Even while we elected terrible presidents, corrupt congressmen, lousy American Idol winners and gave the Best Picture Oscar to “Shakespeare in Love” over “Saving Private Ryan.” But this is the last straw. Well this and the fact that Jimmy Graham was 7 spots ahead of Gronk who had the best season by a tight end, ever. After this I’m convinced democracy has failed. No one should ever be allowed to vote for anything ever again. @JerryThornton1
I don’t give a shit about the Pats as a struggling Eagles fan trying to root for a fucking dog killer, but you’re 100% right. Having Tom Brady anywhere but #1 on this list is asinine. Tom Brady is obviously the best player in the NFL no matter how you slice it.
Hard to really argue any one combination of Brady – Brees – Rodgers over another. They were all fantastic last year and should have been 1-3. Calvin Johnson was too high. And Graham over Gronk is a joke.
I can’t argue that it was shitty to have Brady at 4th, but you have to keep the ratings up….can’t have TB winning it outright every year, even though everyone fucking knows he’s the greatest QB to ever play in the NFL.
Brady is just part of good coaching. Matt Cassell did ok in New England and now he sucks.
Jesus fucking Christ Thornton, shut the fuck up. You sound like a broken record and your blogs fucking suck. Get a real job you fucking deadbeat.
yankees4lyfe but yet you come back to read and comment on each one of his blogs, fucking cunts are everywhere
Who gives a fuck what the players think. You don’t need to write 3 paragraphs saying how you gathered up a bunch of statistics and are really pissed off. I’m sure that all the players had all the stats too and were still choosing Brees over Brady…
sweet handle “yankees4lyfe” JT is the Pats blogger, he isn’t going to blog about hopscotch. The list was absurd so he blogged it. makes perfect sense
2 of the 3 guys ahead of him have won Super Bowls more recently than Brady. It’s fucking semantics. Let’s make it a 4-way tie for the #1 player in the NFL so it’s fair for everybody. Nobody is saying he sucks. Jesus, you’re looking for reasons to suck up to the Patriots.
who gives a shit about lists?? probably the most absurd thing to get angry about
Dinners Ready
It makes no sense for Brady to drop down the rankings after the season that he had, but the real joke is Graham 7 spots ahead of Gronk
eli manning is better than tom brady. As you said before thornton you hypocritical piece of shit, Stats are for the individual, Championships are what matters and head to head last time I checked Eli is up 2-0 so brady can throw for 6 million fucking yards with 500 touchdowns, when it comes down to crunch time, Eli manning has ice in his mother fucking veins and can drive to victory where tom brady just takes a shit in his pants and brady’s all over the field

@olsonmr,
He only inherited the best offense of all time and missed the playoffs with that team. So he was probably better than Brady, right? Get a fucking clue you moron.
Riight Kiddo cause Eli was the reason the Giants won those games.
k1dd0,
How can you be up 2-0, when the other person has 3 titles? Doesn’t sound “up” to me. Amazing math skills you got there. And if “ice in his vains” means “throwing a hail mary that was catched by a guy and his helmet”, then Sir you are correct.
I don’t think langdon grasps the concept of “head to head”
k1dd0 wtf are you talking about? Eli up 2-0 on brady? if its all about championships last time i checked brady had three. So fucking what if eli has beat him twice, you cant put all the balls that were dropped in the superbowl on brady. Giants D > Eli bro
all Pats fans should go back and watch Brady’s play this past SB…every single pass attempt. he absolutely played to the level of his capabilities. every fucking pass was less than 10yrs. 30yr old WRs? isn’t welker going into the Pats HOF? must be shitty player to achieve that honor. go look at the YAC numbers on those dudes…it’s the weapons…NOT brady. guy is 0-2 in SB since caught cheating. shocker. nobody cheats like boston. FACT. deal with the facts
Yea k1ddo, Eli won those games right? More like his defense and amazing receivers you dumbass. Not too mention gronk was beyond injured, the pats D being the worst in the league, and welker dropping ( the supposed game winning pass). Wake up you ny D suckin dick rider..
Repinme should change his name to ” nystuckitsdickinme”, never heard that cheating excuse before closet case, cry it out bitch, cry it out
So Brady’s defense never helped him win any of those Superbowls? Oh that’s right, he hasn’t won one since his defense started to suck.
You guys are fucking retarded. Kiddo obviously meant head to head on Brady. Seriously how fucking dumb are you people. Count the regular season and he’s outplayed him the last 3 times they faced each other. But go ahead, keep doubting Eli, who has 2 more recent SB wins and MVPs to go with it against the “goat.” Eli made the plays he needed to when it counted. 30/40 for 300 yards – yeah Eli didn’t deserve the MVP. Probably should have gone to David Baas who snapped Eli all those balls because, shit, without him how would Eli get the ball?
And just like that, the broken record Giants fans chime in. Best of luck making the playoffs this year boys with that ferocious schedule.
the list is a popularity contest. look no further than fuckin tebow at 95, ahead of CJ at 100 and other qbs that actually start like matt ryan, matt schaub, jay cutler. and john kuhn making this list blows my mind, dude carried the ball like twice a game last year.
Pk18, sorry, couldn’t understand you gargling over there..
Brady’s defenses in the SB winning years (points allowed): 2001 = 6th, 2003 = 1st, 2004 = 2nd
Must have been tough winning those tightly contested Superbowls with such shitty defenses… And for the record, in 2007 the Pats D gave up 80 fewer points on the season than the Giants did. Granted, the Giants got hot towards the end of the year, but stop making it out like Brady carried his team to the Super Bowl, he didn’t.
I’m pretty sure every qb that wins super bowls have good defenses. If Brady can’t win without a good d then neither can Eli .. Plus Eli sucks donkey dick so that puts him to another level
If the list was for “most valuable” and not “best” then there wouldn’t be more than 5 running backs or 2 middle linebackers on it, but it isn’t, it’s a list for BEST regardless of position, and that means you are comparing people to others at their own position. Calvin should be NO. 1 because he is clearly the best WR while Brady, Brees, Rodgers are all essentially tied for best QB. Obviously all 3 are more valuable to their team than Megatron, but that isn’t what this list is. Also this list is voted on by people who needed tutors to pass the easiest classes in college and are too busy playing football to watch football and tell who is the best. The players don’t know much about other players unless they played that dudes team and had to scout him. Only a Pats fan would get mad about Brady at #4 on a list of BEST players, voted on by tards. Brady is the best QB ever in my opinion, and I’m not even a Pats fan, but I have zero problem with him being at #4. Unrelated: Boston sports fans are a gross pile of dogshit.
@Falcon Boy, spot on. Whenever the Pats SBs are brought up it was the defense and Vinitieri that won them, ignoring what Brady did during the games. But when the Giants are brought up it was all Eli, he must have been aiming for the top of Tyree’s helmet I guess. Fuck even Peyton benefited from his D playing great, people forget how good Freeney, Mathis & Sanders were that year they won the bowl.
Guy is past his prime.
So pathetic how all u Boston cum swallowers support this piece of shit.
Oh nowwwwwww the 31st ranked defense means something. Flip flopping fag bag
langdon1975, you ass….did you really make fun of someone’s math skills and then write the phrase “throwing a hail mary that was CATCHED by a guy…..” quite the Rhodes Scholar, aren’t you?
Drew Brees and Calvin Johnson can suck Brady’s well-manicured cock, Aaron Rodgers MAYBE in the same sentence, that is not biased, that’s based totally on the #’s and superbowl rings combo…Brady is a sick motherfucking football players and will undoubtedly go down as one of the best QB’s ever to play the game, like even 20 years from now people will be arguing who was the best QB ever, believe me, in 20 years Drew fucking Brees will NOT be in that convo – FACT
“obviously have had it up to their concussed brains“- funny as shit…
Brady is # 1 no doubt. the dude has had 10 full seasons as starting QB and been to 5 superbowls…thats 50% of the time you math retards. Both years Eli has won, the giants backed their way into the playoffs. How can a guy that throws the most interceptions in the league one year be considered to be better than Brady, who has never thrown more then 14 ints and averages 11.5/ year. Eli is a joke and its a joke for Giants fans to think he is better than brady. NFL players know whats up and thats why Eli will never be in the top 30. suck it blue
@Langdon, Brodie, Wulf – I do have amazing math skills and Im not talking about 2000,01 or 04 and I never said brady has no titles you cunts, I was using my awesome math skills to show you in TWO head to head GAMES, also the biggest games of their respective careers, Brady is 0-2 and Eli os 2-0 and oh … Wulf you’re the best… I love the excuses hahaha Wah gronk was hurt, wah Eli has good receivers thats why he won? THATS WHY?! oh so the ball just magically got thrown perfect by ghosts. right i forgot about that and oh tom brady didnt have: Welker, Hernandez, Branch, Ochocino and an injuried gronk to throw to. Shut the fuck upppp idiot. and if Eli faced brady in those 3 other super bowls and belachick didnt have all their plays recorded in a camera they’d have lost also. I hope they square off just one more time before bradys career starts taking a shit and Eli wins again just so you cant fucking say shit
k1ddo, you are by the far the biggest faggot on this site. when its all said and done, brady will be in the class of elite legends….eli will be known as peytons brother who was just simply “good”
Rodgers over Brady all day long….plus he’s 6-7 years younger.
Rodgers and Brees have won a superbowl in the past 5 years, Brady has not. rod_beck, peyton has 1 superbowl to little brothers 2. regular season stats are nice but championships speak the loudest.
