Nice analogy and analysis, good post.
Brady is average when a good defense plays against him. Ask the Giants.
Romney bought his way into the nomination and the GOPe rejected all of the other candidates.
Not all Michigan QB’s will be a Tom Brady in the NFL.
However, can’t remember the last Michigan QB that wasn’t drafted.
Wolverines:
Most total wins in college football, for over a century.
Highest winning percentage, for over a century.
Only Notre Dame is close.
And of course the Wolverines dwarf any other team or sport on attendence records as they possess the largest stadium in America.
(Some idiot NASCAR fan will show up and compare a multi-mile arena with a football stadium, so deal with it)
See the recent 60 Minutes piece largely focused on Michigan and Alabama:

Can’t spell elite without ELI! Go G-Men. Oh yeah, the Pat’s cheat.
Tom Brady for President! Seriously...out of the box...could he be any worse than the recent candidates?
Answer: NO
Good post, quantum. Michigan BUMP!...and we just became a “right-to-work” state! Heck, for that matter...Tom Brady for President, Rick Snyder (Michigan governor) for V.P. or vice versa.
His record proves otherwise.
Palin is having to fight both parties and the media, the same group that all pretty much agreed on Romney.
Romney just lost an election that couldn’t be lost, and his lack of any substance, and the lengths to which republicans had to change their positions to accommodate his hard liberalism, has seriously, perhaps permanently damaged the Republican brand.
Mitt Romney is the worst republican candidate in modern history, perhaps ever, the liberal Mormon Bishop, cult leader and very liberal, William Weld protege/governor of Massachusetts who gave us Romneycare and gay marriage, is without question, the bizarre choice in GOP history, how he came to be the choice to run against a man who he largely agreed with on the hot button issues, is one for historians to unravel, but it was a disaster for the republican party.
I have this dark fantasy - and maybe not so heretical that Michigan may once again save the nation and the world like she once did in the WWII days.
We have it all here except the Detroit/Flint corridor which is going Darwin anyway and in our lifetimes Detroit will kill itself off and Michigan shall rise like the pheonix from ashes.
A man can still dream.
And hey - Tom Monaghan going after Obamakare!
I repeat. Ask the Giants. :-)
Sorry, but the article is stupid.
Let’s look at how right the scouts were about Peyton Manning, Eli Manning, John Elway, Terry Bradshaw, Joe Montana, and lately Andrew Luck, RG3, Brandon Weeden and to my disappointment, the scouts seem to be right about one of my favorites in Kellen Moore in that he is not NFL quality.
Norte Dame, USC, Ohio State
Then Michigan

Sorry, couldn't resist. /a Buckeye
PS I am happy to see U of M getting better. Their slouch has hurt the Big 10. Also, nothing is sweeter than my Buckeyes beating a ranked U of M team!
But the Seahawks are pretty damn good at home this year against everyone.
How’s the right-to-work working for the Buckeye-head conglomeration of idiots in Ohio?
Wait, in OH you don’t have a RTW.
No matter, both OH & MI and throw in WI at a local level have it together as sister states, but throw in federal pie and Obama wins.
It’s that simple.
I repeat, look at his record. Only the 11th NFL quarterback to register 100 wins as a starter. There are plenty of teams that play good defense and Brady has beaten all of them at one time or another.
Tom Brady on the Buffalo Bills or Cleveland Browns of the 2000’s probably wouldn’t have had much success either.
He has talent and skill, but it took something outside of him, perhaps a good coach in Belichek, who knew how to use him, to make him stand out.
Let’s look at how right the scouts were about Peyton Manning, Eli Manning, John Elway, Terry Bradshaw, Joe Montana, and lately Andrew Luck, RG3, Brandon Weeden....
Montana-- 3rd round. 82nd pick in the 1979 draft. Yeah, lots of scouts were right about him....
