Branch, Givens, Troy Brown, Watson, Fauria, Tim Dwight, and Kevin Faulk were all above average receivers at the time in the system, and Brady really had two pretty great seasons back to back.

Ben Watson has been in incredible decline since 2006, along with Troy Brown, and Reche Caldwell/Doug Gabriel/Jabar Gaffney might not have been the best way to go that season. So that, I feel, is why Brady had a down year. I think it shows that he's not "bad receiver proof". He of course, reached new heights with the Moss/Welker tandem, so I think that only makes this case stronger.

Well I would hardly call his 06 season "down." All those guys he was throwing to are average NFL wr's. Through all that he still managed 24td's 12ints and 3,500 yards and 61% completion rate and they were within one first down of going to the Super Bowl. That's pretty damn good and that just shows just how good Tom Brady is. If Jason Campbell could do that with the current group we have then there would be no Jay Cutler Mark Sanchez talk.
