I used to be one of many that had enough of him and his insane victories and success, but as a human being (me), it's hard for me to find a lot of fault in someone who seems to be doing it the right way. Every interview he gives he comes off humble and of gentle spirit. Of course that can change on the field but that comes with the territory. I want my QB to be firey and show emotion. Sometimes I wish Russell would throw his helmet in disgust sometimes like I've seen Tom do. It just shows you are human and care that much about excellence.
Now that he is no longer a part of the Bill led Pats, I am rooting for him. After all, what's the difference between 6 rings or 7 at this point? Either way it's already ridiculous. Plus my buddy is a Bucs fan so I am rooting for them in two weeks.
I feel the same. I couldn't stand Brady & the Pats either, but since the Brady/Belichick divorce, I came to realize, Brady wasn't the one I hated, it was just the Pats. No one can say Brady is a system QB anymore, he took his new team to the Super Bowl in his first year, his FIRST year! And the Bucs no less, the Bucs looked hapless, no one would ever believe they were anywhere near a contender, and yet, here they are, proving they were just one player away from reaching the Super Bowl. There's just something about Brady, he can change a team culture & make them believe they have what it takes to compete with everyone else. Brady definitely affected the way the whole team played, not just the QB spot, what other QB can do that?
Put this into perspective, if Brady wins the SB, he'll have more rings than any TEAM does, and all of them will have come as a player, I think there might be a couple of people who have 7 rings, but they have those rings from both playing & coaching. Who knows if Brady will start coaching once he puts up the cleats, and if he'll win anymore then.
