They didnt have a running game so Brady was forced to pass it alot more. If Corey Dillon was healthy the whole year he would not have gotten 4000 PY. Trust me.
Not having a running game makes it harder on the quarterback because it allows the defense to place more men in pass coverage.
It's stupid to make an arguement for rings when they are still in their 20s! I guess Trent Dilfer is a better qb then Carson Palmer or Peyton Manning because he won a superbowl?
Did Trent Dilfer lead his team to the superbowl?It's not the same to win a ring watching from the bench then to win a ring while actually leading your team to it.

But he certainly didn't carry the Ravens.

Peyton can throw the ball better than Tom Brady. Tom cant throw a deep ball worth of crap.

QB is about leadership if anything else and late in games Brady owns while the Colts never show up.
So Tom Brady can't throw the deep ball, so what? You can structure your offense around your quaterbacks strengths. You can avoid the deep ball by having check-downs and a short passing attack. But you cannot avoid leadership and the ability to carry a team in the clutch. That is something that is unavoidable and something that you are just born with.Tom Brady has "it".
