And in that light, I would say that 4 games with 3+ INTs, a season long completion percentage under 54 and a year-end QB rating of 63 has to be seen as a disappointment especially when you consider the fact that he wasn't actually asked to do much but game manage an offense built around running the ball.

And again, I was never anti-Sanchez, I just thought like you he'd need time. But the Jets disagreed when they picked him, and then disagreed again when they started him week 1...

So in the end, maybe you and I were right, but either way, he had a bad, bad year. Which in no way means he can't have better ones down the road.

Depends on how you define "great".

Numbers mean jack to me.

It's how you perform in the clutch, and Brady was clutch from the start.

That makes him great in my book.

I would prefer that, to ever seeing his golf swing again.

He was worth the top 5 spot heck he was worth our #3 spot. I would have signed somebody like Garcia or Kitna to fill in this year while he learned or for at least half of it.

Brady has been great all along. He'll probably make somebody look really good tomorrow with Welker out. He certainly did it for years before Moss and Welker got there, and he was throwing to guys like Troy Brown and David Patten.

I'll never believe he was worth a top 5 pick, not with a year as a starter heading into the draft. It's always been a stretch for me to even say he should have gone in the 20s. Just too big a gamble. In fact, I think he should have stayed another year at USC.

(And this has nothing to do with Cassel. I didn't want the Chiefs to trade for him in the first place, although I hope to Christ he turns into something, and soon.)

The QB position is so crucial that if you think a guy has "it" experience really doesn't factor in. So what if he takes an extra year to develop, which is all you will get by having him stay in college another year. There is no pick too high for a guy you think has "it".
