That miracle catch by Seattle at the one shows the value of a great receiver.

Perfection.

But for the pick, Brady looses this game.

If you have a cheating coach, who then passes on ill-gotten info to his team, it taints your ability to be considered the best quarterback

Matter of opinion I guess. I never once saw TB look to the sidelines asking what play to run next.

Kinda like Nolan Ryan of baseball in my opinion.

OTTO GRAHAM
From Wikipedia:
Graham is regarded by critics as one of the most dominant players of his era, having taken the Browns to league championship games every year between 1946 and 1955, winning seven of them. With Graham at quarterback, the Browns posted a record of 114 wins, 20 losses and four ties, including a 9–3 win–loss record in the playoffs. While most of Graham’s statistical records have been surpassed in the modern era, he still holds the NFL record for career average yards gained per pass attempt, with nine. He also holds the record for the highest career winning percentage for an NFL starting quarterback, at 0.814.

When Montana won in 1981, he had Ricky Patton, a Falcons castoff at RB. The team was loserville. He didn’t get Rice until he had won twice. Sorry. 4-2 does not beat 4-0.

4-0 in Super Bowls is pretty impressive. But Brady is currently 4-2 in Super Bowls and the two he lost went down to the wire. He could easily be 6-0 if a play or two in each of those two games went differently.

Bart Starr, Joe Namath, Kenny Stabler. Bret Favre, Johnny Unitas, Take your pick All of them, but Favre, called their own plays so they had to be smart as well as be able to throw.

If I had to limit it to two it would be Roger Staubach and Terry Bradshaw. If I had to choose one to lead the team it would be Bart Starr.

Joe Montana, period. 4-0 in SB’s. NEVER threw an INT in SB play.

The best, period.

Now the Brady fellators will start their homoerotic worship. He’s good, but not the best.

Case in point: This game shouldn’t have been this close, Brady’s 2 INT’s caused that.

an era where pass defenders had the edge and could actually play pass defense.

Exactly. It's pretty easy to throw to wideouts that can't even be looked at cross-eyed without getting a PI penalty in today's league.

All due respect to Brady, a Bay Area product, but the Seahawks would not even have been in tonight's game if not for two Brady INTs. The first was an awful throw under pressure, and it killed a scoring drive. The second gave the ball to Seattle at the NE 35 and led to Seattle's go-ahead TD.

Montana never threw a single INT in the biggest game of them all.

And congrats to Brady for taking the all-time SB TD record from Montana tonight. In his sixth try. Montana did it in four, of course.

Of course, the Pats are an East Coast team, they're within shouting distance of ESPN in Bristol CT, and they'll get plenty of love from the East Coast media. But no amount of Bob Costas's gushing will make Brady as good as Montana, let alone better.

Neither are most things we spend our time on.

What's your point?
