Brady's best years have been when he's got the most talented WR corp in football...along w/ phenom protection and a pretty solid running game. Oh jeez and btw a pretty good defense too. Same w/ Peyton. Cutler, the recent darling of our FO, was surrounded by far more talent in Denver and played against absolute shit defenses compared to what we see in the NFC East. Honestly there are just so few QBs who truly "take over" games. If I had to pick one guy I thought was above the rest I'd have to peg Brees...not Brady or Peyton. Anyway, I don't think there's anything wrong w/ continually searching for the franchise QB who makes everybody around him better and wills his way to victory...my point is it's a fallacy IMO to see one around every corner and w/ every other franchise.
...Jason will be good enough to win ballgames if given the chance. I watched every game last year and honestly didn't believe he had much chance in the games we lost.

Well Brady still had some very very good seasons with Deion Branch, Troy Brown and David Givens. I'm not expecting him to be Brady, Manning or Brees. But I do expect him to be as good as McNabb and he gets it done with below average wr's. I don't know...I just don't think JC sees the field like some guys do and that's why I think our FO wants Sanchez and almost made the deal for Cutler. I think JC would be a perfect fit for the old Gibbs system but we don't have the line or the wr's. We'll see....
