Brady
After watching Tom Brady through the college and pro ranks, why do you think he's blown up in the pros? The right system? Coaches? I'm not sure.
He played pretty well in college but his stats werent jaw dropping and he wasn't taken til the 6th rd.
What do you think? Does Tom just have 'it'? To me he seems to have it all...can make all the throws, team leader, moves when he HAS TO, smart, etc.
I understand he draft is a crap shoot but many said he couldn't do certain things. Seems to me, he's just a tad good.
What every longshot, come from behind, underdog will tell ya is this... The other guy, may in fact, be the favorite. The odds may be stacked against you, fair enough. But what the odds don't know is...this isn't a math test.

Offense, growth, Henson
Offense, growth, Henson
Brady showed flashes of collegiate greatness in a few games where he was unleashed ('98 OSU, '00 Orange Bowl). He first started as a junior and threw his share of picks his first year (15 TD/12 INTs), so it's not like we was convincingly a superstar after his first year. I think he's a classic case of a player who progressively developed (20 TD/6 INTs his senior year) over time and finally reached his ceiling in the pros. He also played during our power running era - although that was loosening a bit during the 90's - so we just didn't pass that much. He only had 3 300+ passing yard games, with a few more over 270+ yards. And Drew Henson was looming over his shoulder for his two years as starter. Henson threw for 500+ yards during Brady's senior year, so that's a lot of college stats potentially taken away from Brady.
He found a perfect home in New England. Their offensive scheme perfectly matches his skills. I was bummed that he lasted until the 6th round, but I honestly didn't think he would evolve into arguably the best NFL QB we've ever seen....definitely the most clutch NFL QB we've ever seen.

No one predicted that he would be THIS good. He could be the best ever.
I would say it's the system maximizing his potential. But it could just be that he went to Michigan...

That the Pats seem to have no interest in obtaining a decent RB (how long did they keep paying Maroney to suck...?) maybe they'll snatch up Denard since it appears they need to get their tough yardage from their QB.
