Why are Patriots Quarterbacks So Good?

[Mark O]

Yep it is. Helps that they've gotten two fumbles on kickoffs to shorten the field. But they're also shortening the game. The Texans need 3 TD's at this point to win and Im not sure they're going to get more than 3 possessions.

My wife and I were having this conversation before 1/2 time. It's unbelievable that they can be this good for so long. Yea Brady's a stud, but they don't seem to miss a beat when he's out, be it for a game or a season...... If it were easy to put a finger on it, everybody would do it.

Then there's us, the Bizarro World Patriots.

Why is it that no matter WHO plays QB for the Patriots, he looks good?

Josh McDaniels. Ohio roots, but the dude is a ass..met him at a wedding

It's the system. Too bad the hoodie still isn't in cleveland.

System yes. Drafting and FA acquisition yes too.

Belichick still in Cleveland, eh realistically no especially with that three year death sentence but just pretending that didn't happen still probably a long shot.

Belichick used to drive Bernie nuts, they'd be in a critical drive and Bill would be over with the D guys. Still Belichick learned his craft well...cheating included.

[miktoxic]

yeah, cheating.

cleveland wished they had a cheating scandal to lean on if given half a virgin's pube hair chance to be as relevant as belichick and his team has been since his dismissal.

[mjp28]

They just said rookie QBs are 5-1 so far this year? But I also say check the opponents but still that's unreal. Most rookies used to get creamed.....but then again they're way more prepared in college now too.

Anyone else want to guess?

We haven't had a correct answer yet.

C'mon.....

I'll give you a hint.

Why did the Giants beat them in the super bowl when they didn't lose a football game all season to that point?

Another hint.

Why did Brady look mortal during that super bowl?

110 yards start of the 4th Qtr.

I wouldn't call that 'good'. You're basically putting the game in the hands of the running backs and the defense - they delivered.

Did brady really sell his soul to the devil?

It all starts at the top. Kraft is a pretty damn good owner.

Brady is a factor.but defense wins championships. As the NYG did in SB to Denver last seasons playoff game..Get in Brady's face & sometime plant it (legally). you got under 4 seconds..

[TexasAg1969]

It's called offensive game planning, defensive game planning and special teams game planning. Oh and maybe a little coaching here and there while not drafting 4 wr's in one year.

Thank You.

PASS PROTECTION!!!

When a Patriots QB takes a shot gun snap he gets to STAND THERE!

He gets to pick out an individual fan to throw the ball at if no receiver ever gets open. And the Patriots don't generally have ALL WORLD receivers. They have NFL caliber receivers. If they have enough time almost any NFL caliber receiver will get open. And the same can be said of the QB. If you give them enough time they'll throw a nice spiral to a wide open receiver. - pitch & catch.

As Joe Banner said, the name of today's football game is Pass And Rush The Passer.

If you can keep the opponent from being able to rush the passer, then your team can win games.

Put Tom Brady behind the blockers that we've had since Tom came into the league and he doesn't get a bust in the HOF!

[flyingfooldoug]

OK, but as a Browns fan. What's a defense?

[Canton Mike]

One word: Belichick.

He is the heir apparent to BB, clearly. And yes, Ohio roots. Born about a mile from where I sit.
