Because his main job is to throw the football yes, but he also has to lead his team. Brady is a great leader and, in turn, is a great winner. I'd rather go into a fourth quarter with Brady at QB than anyone else in football right now. I'd take him over Peyton because I know when the game's on the line, he's gonna produce. He's not gonna let the bright lights of the playoffs stun him and he's gonna lead his team. That's what a quarterback is, a lot more than a passer. To quote Al Pacino, "it's the top spot kid. It's the guy who gets the credit and it's the guy who takes the blame. And the other guys on your team will break their noses and their ribs and their necks for you...once they understand you." That's what Brady is. He has guys who believe and he makes em believe with 4th quarters like yesterday...playing quarterback is about a whole lot more than passing.
