Is Tom Brady the NFL’s midseason MVP? – WEEI | Kirk Minihane
Brady is the most consistent great quarterback in history – he’s never had a bad year. Joe Montana had a lousy 1986 (threw more INTs than TDs), Peyton Manning was terrible in 2003 (23 picks for a 6-10 Colts team coming off 13-3 and 10-6 seasons), you can find a season like that for any other guy you’d consider if you are putting together an all-time top 10 list. But not Brady. He’s always been over 60 percent passing, he’s always had a solid TD over INT edge, he’s never finished outside the top 10 in passer rating and his teams have had a winning record every year he’s been a starter. If you had to pick the worst season of Brady’s career it would probably be 2002, and all he did that year was the lead the NFL in touchdown passes.
