Why are Patriots Quarterbacks So Good?

[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.

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.

Pass rush in his face.

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

it would not surprise me to see the lombardi trophy renamed to the lombardachick trophy when it is all said and done....he's that good.

[paul warfield]

Pats have a knowledgeable owner, good coaches across the board who can develop raw draft picks, talented and smart players that make few mistakes,and belichic

[Tim Couch Pulls Out]

Stability, a coach and coordinator that are smart enough to emphasize a player's talents without compromising the structure of the scheme, and reliable offensive teammates who perform their jobs.

Bill doesn't ask his players to be Pro-Bowl caliber players at each level. He doesn't ask every lineman to hold a block for 10 seconds every play, he doesn't ask every runningback to average 10 YPC, he doesn't ask his receivers to all be Megatron. He asks them to be accountable and to play within the confines of the play structure. It's not rocket science and it's not because of cheating, luck or anything else. They execute their offensive system to perfection, because it's an offense that has been in NE for 20 years.

The system is bigger than the players, which is also why you see the NE WR corps change every two years with no noticeable drop off. It's why you see them perform with any QB at the helm, regardless of their physical attributes. Their three QB's are vastly different in terms of physical attributes, but they are all smart and efficient and take what the defense gives them, rather than forcing something that isn't there. They play within the confines of the offense.

The last time a Browns QB did that? First quarter of the Ravens game last week.
