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:

I'm not sure the political analogy get s there. The Brady example shows group think was wrong, while the Palin example, if it shows anything, shows they were right. I guess we'll never really know. Brady was drafted and went to work; Palin wasn't and didn't.

Can’t spell elite without ELI! Go G-Men. Oh yeah, the Pat’s cheat.

Tom Brady is one of the greatest decision-makers...

Tom Brady for President! Seriously...out of the box...could he be any worse than the recent candidates?

Answer: NO

Whatever...

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.
