Brady has a mastermind coach in Bellichick telling him what to do. And I don't want to take away from Dungee, but Mannning is the one who run's the offense, he gets to make a lot of big decisions that most QBs don't get to make.
Tom Brady is coaching players out there? Of course he's going to have to give brand new receivers some advice, what quarterback wouldn't do that, I mean, they're in a brand new system.
Ok, Manning has two great receivers, but in my opinion, until this year, Brady is the one who's team has been loaded with weapons. Every year they won the superbowl, he's had one of the BEST defenses in the league, why Manning's defenses have been average to below average. Brady's offensive line has always outplayed Manning's in past battles, plus it's not like Brady has had slouches at receiver in the past until this year. Plus, their TE Watson is just as good as Clark is.
Back to the defense again, just think about how the Pat's defenses were loaded with great players: Seymore, Bruschi, Harrison, Vrabel, McGinnest, and Law. See, once the Pat's dont have those players and the talent level overall is more even, COLTS WIN!
I guess my bottom line is that Tom Brady has been instrumental in winning 3 superbowls, but not anymore instrumental than the Pat's stingy defenses and great coaching. And as proved yesterday and last year in the Bronco's loss in the playoffs, when they don't have Charlie Weiss, Romeo Cornell, Ty Law, McGinnest, Harrison, Branch and Givens, Tom Brady is mortal.
