He only got sacked 15 times this season and every game I see him play, he rarely gets touched. Now that he is getting knocked around this season and is getting hit more times than he has, he's having major injury problems all of a sudden, which makes you think he's fragile. Put him in the Steelers, Packers, Chiefs or Texan's offense behind that O-line and then we'll question his toughness, or at least being tough as nails since those guys are getting sacked 40 times a season, not including rushed, hurried, or hit.
I've said it before and I'll say it again...you have zero idea what you're talking about. If you're the football guru you think you are then you should know that there is a whole lot more to the story than getting sacked. Even when Brady doesn't get sacked, he gets hit plenty! As far as Brady "all of a sudden having 'major' injury problems"...I'm not sure what you're referring to. He's been banged up all season long (his shoulder was hurt during the preseason). I would say given that he's answering the bell to play, his injuries can't be as "major" as you're intimating they are! The other thing I'll say about sacks is that there is a reason that some QB's don't get sacked that often...it's because they're fucking intelligent and know when to get rid of the damn football. Brady played behind the same exact offensive line as Drew Bledsoe played behind in 2001 and Bledsoe got sacked every other play, because he never knew when to get rid of the damn football. Dan Marino never had exceptional offensive lines and still almost never got sacked.
Of course, you didn't read my last line. I've said it before and I'll say it again. You can't read and believe in your own jibber jabber. I said it didn't include being hurried, rushed, or hit when dealing with the 15 sacks he was dealt. EVERY quarterback gets hit, but Marsha Brady, in EVERY game that I've witnessed, barely gets hit, and that's because of his quick release in taking underneath routes obviously.(I've seen times where he had 7 solid seconds to throw.) My point is all of a sudden he's getting hit more than usual this season and he's now injury prone, which I stated makes you think of him being fragile than "tough as nails" as you claim him to be. As far as the same line Bledsoe was dealt, Brady took over in 2001 and got sacked 41 times, so his decision making wasn't that great when compared to Bledsoe's line in '01.
its just incredible.. i love football .. but am not too much a fan of certain players anymore..
Prog can verify this, but he was a lineman. Lineman are no-no's when dealing with a football.
