SB predictions and ...

Agreed.

 

he didn't get sacked once as i recall during that whole '03 playoff run, and that was with either 2 or 3 backup o-lineman. we didn't hit him good. we couldn't get to him.

 

bleacher report has final say


Arguably, this could be called the matchup of Super Bowl XLVI. They key to defeating the New England Patriots is simple, if not always easy, to execute: Put Tom Brady on the ground.

Tom Brady is soft. There, I said it. Even by a quarterback's standards, this guy does not like to be hit. Knock him around a few times, and he is not so cool in the pocket, not so confident to stand tall with bodies flying around him, and those throws that were on point in the first quarter start missing their targets in the third and fourth. As Brady is rattled by those hits, so is his team. The Patriots know each time Brady hits the dirt, the odds of escaping with a victory decreases proportionately.

While the Patriots go as Brady goes, it could be argued the Giants go as their defensive line goes. When their line dominates, they win. In their two wins against Brady, the Giants' line came up with seven sacks, forcing two interceptions and two fumbles, while holding the Patriots to an average of 17 points. In their one loss, they sacked Brady once, did not force any turnovers and gave up 38 points.

With every hit of Brady, the Giants put themselves in a better position to win Super Bowl XLVI.

 

Jesus christ grid. Leave it to a bills fan to rely on bleacher report for anything.

 

Like any great QB, Brady has taken plenty of punishment in plenty of games where he performed at his best.

Pressuring a QB (which includes sacks and hits) is the best way to stop any passing game and making that declaration is on par with claiming that getting a hand up in a shooters face and keeping him off balance is a good idea in basketball.

 

bleacher report is the ultimate authority, after Lou Stenson of course

 

Bigg Benn takes the big hits and retains his status as one of the game's top two quarterbacks.

I read that somewhere

 

What a coincidence that on a day where you are questioning the toughness of Brady 5 Hall of Famers chimed in on the very same subject at ESPN.com. Here's what they had to say and you may have heard of them before:

KELLEN WINSLOW: You can't judge toughness over a season. ... It's doing it over and over again. Not just doing it one time. When you think about a tough player, you think of several instances where you can say, "That's a tough guy." Not just one play or game or year. It has to be the totality of their year, and you see guys like Tom Brady who do it over and over again. Brett Favre was in that category, who could have played in any era. My QB Dan Fouts falls into that category: tough leader and mentally strong and tough.

MIKE DITKA: I don't think anybody understands his toughness. He's very smart. They create mismatches, and he knows how to use them. He uses those receivers so well. And if you're a receiver, you love to play for a guy like him. He makes you good. And he makes good players great. Wes Welker is a good player, but Tom Brady makes Wes Welker a great player.

JIM BROWN: Tom Brady is mentally tough. He has all kinds of talent and is able to work closely mentally with his coach, Bill Belichick.

RAYFIELD WRIGHT: Tom Brady reminds me a lot of Roger Staubach. He's tough, he's aware of the game and he moves around a lot in the pocket, which gives his offensive linemen a good opportunity. They know him and how he moves.

FLOYD LITTLE: He's the ultimate quarterback.

Nah. Never heard of any of those clowns... wait! Umm.... No.

It's his temper, not toughness I was commenting on.
