    NO HE'S NOT and HEEE KNOW'S IT.

    “It breaks your heart when someone leaves and you don’t know why.”

    "It may be raining but there's a rainbow above you"


    Former President Donald Trump early Thursday touted the results of a new NPR/PBSNewsHour/Marist poll showing him ahead of President Joe Biden by 8 percentage points among independents.

      Re: Is Brady still Elite?

      I still don't even know what Elite means. I think this is opinion based, and is so obsessed over...

      I still think that Brady is very good. What we're seeing with Brady is what we have known all too well. With a bad oline and no one to throw the ball to, even great QB's are going to struggle. Brady right now is the victim of Belichicks arrogance in which he thinks he's so damn smart that he can just plug any player in wherever he wants and have them be great. I'm loving that it's blowing up in his face!

                    Re: Is Brady still Elite?

                    brady is and always was a system qb. he went down one year and matt cassel got 11 wins. the quick throws, pre snap read and running O that got them to 2nd and short (let alone 3rd and short) most of the time was why their O was so good. the wall of mountain men is faltering and it shows.

                    he never had all world numbers until he had moss, who made randle cunningham, jeff george, and donte freaking culpepper into pro bowlers.

                      Re: Is Brady still Elite?

                      To answer this question, think about this:

                      If you could have any current NFL QB starting on the Bills right now, how many would you take over Brady to be successful in 2014?

                      There are maybe 8 that you could put ahead of him. If you want to account for Brady's age, there are maybe a couple of more to throw in there for long term potential.

                      I don't know how one defines "elite," but if Brady had been the Bills' QB this year, we'd be 3-1 or quite possibly 4-0.

                        I've heard people say the same thing about Jim Kelly and point to Frank Reich's numbers/success as proof... You can't have it both ways. Anyone who watched Castle could tell he was a placeholder at best surrounded by fantastic talent, and knew the chiefs would be fleeced trading for him. I'm not a huge TB fan, but i think his incredible success rate over the course of his career has earned him some respect.

                          Joe Montana was also a system qb.

                          Success is a combination of skill set, opportunity, and fortunate circumstances.
                          Brady was a great qb. He's still very good, but I think it is evident age is setting in a bit. Problems on the o-line and fewer playmakers also play a role.
                          New England is not very good this year. The division is wide open.

                              Brady is much closer to Fitz than he is to elite QB's at this point.

                              Brady knows where to go with the ball, but far too often, his arm can not deliver what his head says to do.
