Brady was stuck behind a guy at Michigan who had the starting job because of his last name. When he came into the NFL he was stuck behind a number one pick and no one believed in him. When he won his first title he was a flash in the pan...when he won his second and third titles he started to get respect, but he wasn't a "stat" guy...when he set the record for the greatest NFL season for a QB EVER he FINALLY got his due respect. The guy has worked his brains out to get where he is, and you sound like a guy who's going to detract from him no matter what he does. Typical opposing fan. The best are the Jets fans. They know inside they'd teade half their team for him given the chance. Haha.
Brady was making like 8 million a year up until his latest contract; he took less money so the pats could spend on free agents.
Not even true. Lloyd stuck to his Upper Classman and that is why Tom did not get the start even when Scott Loffler was there. In 99-00 Drew Henson came in and he was a 5* QB that could do everything and Tom rotated with, did not cry, complain, moan, bitch,...etc. Tom earned the job as a senior and showed everyone why he was so great. If you ever had doubts that Tom was bad then go watch his Orange Bowl performance against Alabama. Tom underperformed at the combine but always look at the tape and Interviews.
How many guys have performed great at the combine and then turned out to be huge busts in the NFL. Tom is a once in a lifetime player that if you get to see, you can tell people, your kids..."Hey, i get to see Tom Brady play". Tom reminds me of M.J. and will always carry that chip on his should as he should.
The moral of the story: Tom works harder then any other QB in the league and will never ever forget that he was picked 199th. I will always feel that he has a bone with the PATS too because they passed over him 5 times.
