Super Bowl XLVI thread NY Giants VS NE Patriots

[Red Wing]

I think it came down to the team that was the most clutch. The Giants have been making the perfect plays at the needed time over the last few weeks. The Pats are awesome, but I think the Giants have their number.

. The Pats just choked on that last drive.

Can someone explain to me why some receiver superstars like moss and ocho whatever are so good away from NE and when they play for NE they seem very average? Thanks!

Moss? You mean the guy who left the Vikings, became nothing with the raiders, was traded to the patriots for a 4th round pick and went on to break the record for TD catchs in a season? That Moss? Ochocinco is passed his prime, he dropped more balls than he caught this year and for the most part wasn't worth having on the field.

Not a good marker for the point being debated.

The statement was that Tom Brady is the best QB right now And that's simply not true.

Now, if we're looking at overall careers, then yes, Brady by a long shot right now.

Also, Eli's got 2, and he's beaten Brady the last 3 times he's played him. Do you rank him above or below Brady sean?

I did mean more looking at careers as a whole, and even how good they were at their height.

Then why in the world did you say 'Right now'

If we're looking at careers as a whole, then I like Brady. If we're looking at height I like Brady and Eli. If we're looking at recent seasons, lets say the last two, then I like Rodgers, Brees and Eli.

I didn't mean Brady's current playing ability when I said "right now," I meant quarterbacks who are currently playing in the NFL.

Aha thanks for the history lesson for those guys. Makes more sense now, since a "big name" may cover up deficiencies.
