Good point. Brady is more responsible for the team's championship run than Rodney Harrison or Asante Samuel.

But Brady and Harrison and Samuel all have the same ring on their finger and I would debate that a ring doesn't mean any less for those guys than it does for Brady. After all they were all Patriots in 03 and 04, and are all multiple time champions.

The three rings Brady has are representive of three seperate times that he has reached the game's ultimate goal. However, he is not a better player in any way because of it, merely a champion. The greatest good in football is to win a championship, but without a considerable deal of help from their team and luck from things they cannot control, a great player cannot become a champion. Said player is not any less great, just not a Champion.
