I've never understood the Brady haters.
ANYWAY, BACK TO THE THREAD TOPIC...
Some have the perception for some is that
'he is a 'Goody-two-shoes', too clean...except that he HAS to be a cheater because they win so much, have stolen other teams' signs in the past, 'intentionally deflated balls to get an edge', and once a cheater always a cheater....'
When I played football my senior year in high school we played against a team who had a phenomenal running back - the next season, as a freshman, this kid would be starting at tailback for BYU. We got to play his team twice, the last game was in the state semi-championships. He made most of our players look like they were running in hip-deep mud and as if they weighed feathers. During the final game some of our players started really 'hating' on him on the sideline - badmouthing him, calling him names, etc. I'll never forget how the coach finally got tired of it, turned around, and told my teammates to shut the hell up, that the reason they hated this kid was because he was so damn good and kicking out ass. He challenged them by saying don't hate him for being so good - 'use it to motivate yourselves to be better'.
Tom Brady is a good-damn QB. He also plays for a damn-good coach.
They have an incredible system they do not deviate from. They do not adapt their play style to accommodate talent - they get talent that fits their scheme.
They also prepare for games probably like no other in the league. Brandon LaFell left Carolina and went to NE. In an interview he said he had never seen a team like NE in all his playing days. Even if you won a starting spot for the upcoming game, if you were asked a question about film / the game / your role etc during the days leading up to the game and missed enough questions you did not play that next Sunday. (Of course Brady was the exception, one that was not needed because he was the hardest working guy on the team.)
I respect that.
If someone is kicking your ass, don't whine about it, Get better and prepare harder for the next time.
