Tom Brady is not Tom Arnold

The guy has one so – so game against a perennial defense like the Ravens, and all of a sudden we’re looking quarterback’s version of Tom Arnold in the face?

For the last two weeks all I have heard – regarding Tom Brady – is about his “failures,” his age, his jitters and his lacking of a championship over the past six-plus years.

But is this fair?

The guy has the second best passer rating since 2001, behind thee Peyton Manning, and somehow someway, his three rings in ten years as a starting quarterback are all but forgotten?

Nope.

In fact, eat it Yonkers – New England 24, New York Giants 19.

While many gigante snake charmers strum their 2007 ju ju hex over what should have been the 19-0 New England Patriots, Tom Brady methodically prepares to show the world just how much of a one man show he can be.

And despite Eli’s ascension into quarter backing heralds, it’d be remiss to compare the two. Eli is good when he needs to be. Tom is great nearly all the time and below great (like last week) on rare occasions.

Despite Gronk’s bum ankle, I suppose Aaron Hernandez will take the majority of Brady’s dinks and dunks. And while the front-five of New York speed rush the fluid Brady, his counterparts: Hernandez and little muscle maestro, Wes Welker, will get in the open field against the third worst secondary in all of football.

And to cool some of the speculations regarding the Patriots woeful defense let me shed light on one blaring fact. Their defense is the conglomerated version of Eli Manning – good when it needs to be. Despite being ranked 31st as a secondary, the Pats are 15th in the red zone – ala “the strip” on Lee Evans two weeks ago.

So go ahead and jump ship America. Drink a bit more of the charmed Kool-Aid. Because while you nest in your woeful fabrications, Tom Brady will calmly collect his fourth ring, his Super Bowl MVP award and kiss the lips of a super woman named Gisele.
