I don't doubt his talent. And I don't doubt his clutch play. His second and third SBs are legitimately due to his play (though the win against Philadelphia was a defensive win). I'm an Eagles fan, and give the man props insofar as I didn't celebrate our SB52 win until I saw 0:00 on the clock and the officials signaling incomplete and no flags.

I presume you wouldn't say Biden lives rent-free in people's heads but rather we insist a proper accounting be recorded. It is the same here. Truthfully, with Malcom Butler making perhaps the most clutch defensive play in SB history (or, arguably, with Pete Carroll making the dumbest play call since the Miracle at the Meadowlands #1), the fortunes of the trending Seahawks were dashed. In turn, many have said that with Butler's interception, the Patriots started a renewed upward trajectory, and with that three new rings for Brady.

Nobody ever argued over the dominance of the Steelers in the 70s, or SF in the 80s. Brady certainly stirs up envy, but also sober analysis.
