Is Tom Brady overrated?

[Secondbest]

Deion Sanders on NFL Network " those of us in the know we know he's (Brady) the best ever".
Tough to argue with.

Honest question here, don't you guys think the backups getting tutelage from Brady certainly helped the cause? It isn't like when he can't play he goes to Cancun. I think that definitely plays a part in it.

People are trying to be too clever here. The accomplishments matter most. There have been many other fabulous coaches over the years that had great QBs. None have come close to this sustained level of success. Brady is the GOAT. He turns nobodies, never weres, and has beens into stars. He does it with his throws more than any system. I've never seen a system throw a football.

I wasn't trying to overcredit Belichek. Actually, the opposite. How much of Belichek is the fact he's had Brady for all these years?

I'm not sure how much of the game you saw, but Brady was getting killed for a good portion of that game. The line was not playing well at all.

In the 4th quarter Atlanta resorted to a poorly coached, no knowledge of time left on the game clock team. How many times did Ryan take a snap with 15 ticks left on the play clock? Third and 1 run the football don't let the opposition turn you over. This has to go hand in hand with the Seattle 2015 Superbowl loss where Lynch never touched the ball 1st and goal on the 1/2 yard line.

Don't get me wrong, the Atlanta coaches blew the game. As I put on Twitter, any decent Madden player could have took over coaching that game and known how to make it virtually impossible to let the Patriots have a chance. That said, Brady still had to actually make the plays.

Personally I think James White was MVP of the game.
