Five Super Bowl wins is amazing. But still I am skeptical.
His first three wins were by 3 points, then 4 points, then an overtime touchdown. He benefited from other teams collapsing or screwing up almost every time. And he lost to two Giants teams that it’s amazing got to Super Bowls. Credit to him for winning five, but I’m not sure I would put him in my top five.
Eli Manning throws that ball to David Tyree (who was out of the league by the next season; knee injury, then never caught on with another team) 1,000 times, there are 999 incompletions. The next Pats-Giants Superbowl, the line let Brady get pummeled. NY hit the lotto on one and deserved the other.
It is ridiculous to minimize Brady’s accomplishments. It’s laughable to complain that all his Super Bowl wins weren’t blowouts. All you can do is judge a player by the results on the field. No QB has been to as many or won as many Super Bowls as Brady. That is really the end of the discussion.
