Basically, my point is the quarterback is the top brick of the pyramid that is the 53 man roster, and you don't build a pyramid by trying to place the top brick, first.

Let's not forget that despite being punished and harassed all game long by the Giants D, Brady marched his team 80 yards down the field to take a late lead and then handed the game to his Defense. They were the victims of the most ridiculous, circus plays of all time. Brady was sacked 5 times in that game. I don't remember Campbell leading his team on such a drive when he was sacked 7 times against the Steelers last year. Yes, Brady looked average against Giants in that game, but he was still good enough to carry his team to a late lead. Same with Brees this past weekend. The Bills were in his grill all game, but he (and his coaching staff) righted the ship and still scored 27... which will probably be a season low for them
