I understood what you wrote, but I'm still scratching my head....

Oh well, like I said "everybody has a right to their own opinion, but not everybody can be smart."

Enjoy fishernick.

"read really slowly and maybe this time you might understand the words i am using.he was annointed the best ever before he had the experience, the records or the hardware."

Read really slowly and maybe you won't sound like such a d1ck: Explain to me exactly WHO anointed him the best ever PRIOR to any of his accomplishments?
Answer: NO ONE.
(unlike Eli Manning)
Show me copy, ANYWHERE, in, say, 2002, that claimed Brady was the best ever. Before his accomplishments, he was drafted 199th overall!!! Yep, definitely over-rated. Shouldn't have been drafted in the top 200. Totally agreee with you.
Sheesh

Did Tom Brady ever make the cover of Sports Illustrated PRIOR to his accomplishments? Nope. Did Eli Manning? Yep.
Now THAT'S what one would call being anointed as something they are not, prior to the experience, records or hardware.

" so i am hoping that you will not misinterpret my words again"
Don't give yourself so much credit Fishernick. I stopped reading any of your posts months ago. I didn't even realize it was you – and only you – saying that Brady was over-rated, or I would have simply put... consider the source.

Once again, to steal a quote posted by another sports fan - don't let your hate for Brady get in the way of the facts, fishernick.

once again the ship sails and pundit and his apparent son wiz are stuck on shore(that means you missed the boat). you both have the ability to read something and arrive at a completely unintentional conclusion. it is very clear that you dont read my posts with the clueless responses you post. try reading even slower and there still might be hope for you to understand my words, im not holding my breath. you misunderstand almost all my words and then you get so emotional responding to things that i did not even say. Don't give yourself so much credit Fishernick. I stopped reading any of your posts months ago. if you want to pretend to not read my posts try not responding to them, credability revoked. if you all read my first post on this you will notice that i end it with enjoy pat fans. i could not of been a more obvious trap but you still walk right in. this is truly, plenty of fish. so more words to misinterpret, i am curious how your minds will spin these. i respect and admire brady and have never said differently. it always fun tools.

Please, please oh please.... I have read this exact line very, very slowly.... I have actually spelled it out, trying to interpret it in any other way than how I am interpreting it, and yet, now as I scroll back and look at how many times you have dodged the question, I have to ask it once again... who anointed him the best ever, before he had the experience, the records and the hardware?
Funny, I see that question being asked over and over again. Clearly, as you pointed out to me, you are the only one who claims that Brady is over-rated, so that question is obviously directed at you...but, as is so often the case with you, you completely dodge the question and just blabber on about how we are getting emotional.


So, spin this. Better yet, don't spin it ... just answer it: who anointed Tom Brady the best ever, before he had the experience, the records and the hardware?

I, as does everyone else who has posed the question on this thread, eagerly await the response. But, we have all come to realize it should not be expected.

Yes my and wiz's ship has sailed.... at least it floats. Yours sunk a long time ago.

Pundit .... As I recall and I could be wrong. Eli was the number one pick and the Giants did get him, think they traded up there 2nd pick for him, what ever. Oh I am sure if I am wrong someone will say so. Did he not become the number one pick as to what he did prior? Hopefully my mind is still working. Or did you feel he was the number one pick because he had a brother in the NFL ?

Now what does being in the Sports illustrated magazine have anything to do with being anointed as you say? Was that article about comparing him to his brother ...... again? The story sells magazines, I think that's all its about.

Everyone that reads any of the posts on Eli knows he was never over rated. He did not have the numbers as many have said. I see it too I am not blind. To wiz I am just a little dumb. That's not so bad then living in fantasy land with munchkins. That I would have a problem with.

OP:
So who in your opinion is the most overrated quarterback of all time in the NFL? What is the best way to determine who is overrated and who isn't? Lets see what every one thinks on the subject. My personal opinion is Joh Elway but then again I hate the Broncos so I may be biased.

Me i kinda think this thread is a bit dumb. Who's rating are we going on? Who's top ten list of quarterbacks or whatever are we using to determine who's overrated? Who here ever saw Y.A Tittle play? Or Johnny Unitas? Or even Fran Tarkenton or Stabler?

Based on who's in the Hall of Fame, Broadway Joe Willie Namath is easily the most overrated by a country mile. Art Schlicter, Boomer Esiason, and Ryan Leaf get honorable mentions.

Hi just a little crazy:
I really only threw in that Eli Manning SI comment in there bit for fishernick's entertainment.

I don't think you will find that I have claimed Eli to be over-rated in this, or any thread. Pretty sure I haven't because I always still considered him in the "learning stages" of his career, prior to his incredible playoff run.

And I am not the one who brought up the whole anointed thing: fshernick did. All I did was correct the spelling of the word

You're right - sports illustrated is all about hype - whatever sells – which is petty much my point. My point is that PRIOR to Brady setting his records, collecting his hardware and becoming what he has become in the NFL, he could not have sold a Sports Illustrated if he owned a newspaper stand. Brady had to prove himself, in the NFL, before the accolades ever started coming in.
You could put the Manning family pet on the cover of Sports Illustrated and say it is foregoing the final year of kitty college to go into the NFL draft and the issue would sell: Bottom line is the Manning family name is among the most famous in professional football. The name in itself sells magazines.

Brady had to prove himself worthy before the accolades ever came in. Manning had to prove the prognosticators correct. Two completely different scenarios.

Fishernick claimed that ... "(Tom Brady) was annointed (sic) the best ever, before he had the experience, the records and the hardware"

All I am asking is ... who anointed Tom Brady the best ever, prior to any of his records, hardware and experience?

"Look out for next year and we will see. Captain and Ring leader of all Giants fans"

The blind leading the blind....

We can lay out the facts, draw it out, and connect the dots for fishnernick; and he still won't get it.

Hey....It is his own opinion and I have already mentioned about people with opinions.

You know whats funny? Not even alittle crazy (aka 17 again) will not proclaim Brady to be overrated.

Why are you dodging the question, fishernick? Oh wait.... I forgot... that's your style. You pull unsubstantiated crap out of the air and when someone asks you to validate your comments, you completely ignore the request. We've all seen it time and time again. This is simply the latest example.

OMG are you thick. the answer to the question you ask is littered through out my posts. i cant help it if you cant see it. i am not dodging questions, i have answered it over and over. this is simply the latest example of something just not what you think. to be perfectly clear i am not going to elaborate any further pundit. if you want the answer try reading my posts with comprehension as your goal. oh, but you dont read my posts you just respond to them. now your clueless posts make sense to me.

We can go on like this forever, fishernick. Or, you can just answer the question. It is nowhere in your previous posts. I have taken the time to scroll through your drivel, and although it has been asked time and time again, you refuse to answer it. The very fact that you have not copied and pasted your reply from a previous post admits as much. The very fact that you have not copied and pasted your reply from a previous post admits as much.
I guess that makes me thick, but to be thick, one must have substance to begin with. That's why I won't say the same about you.

OK Pundit understandable thanks for the explanation

I was trying to find Fishernicks answer to your question myself....... I couldn't find it either.

I think he (Brady) was annointed King by his fans which is normal for fans.

Wiz you said: I am the blind leading the blind. You stole that line from ...... Jesus
Seems The blind to me was those who couldn't see that the Giants were contenders in the playoffs. But we all know how that ended. NY GIANTS SUPERBOWL CHAMPIONS beats the undefeated Patriots.............. Just had to remind you Wiz. Thought you forgot

Easy ........Brett Farve or Mr Interception he was famous for throwing the most interceptions at the worst times.
When they played the Cowboys last year I was mad as hell at Nate Jones for knocking Farve out of the game. As usuall he threw some timely interceptions and when he was knocked out of the game Aron Rodgers came in to make a decent game of it.
hall of famer not in my books.

I did say that....I don't see nothing wrong quoting a very powerful man, especially Jesus. Unlike yourself quoting peoples posts and portraying it as your own is not very bright....More like crazy....Oh isn't that your new name now. Hey your posts matches your name. Whatta you know.....

"NY GIANTS SUPERBOWL CHAMPIONS beats the undefeated Patriots.............. Just had to remind you Wiz. Thought you forgot"

If you like to muse over that's fine with me. I know I will see the Patriots win another SB before you see your Giants win one.

I am the blind leading the blind. that is one of the few statements that you ever made that makes any sense. still seventeen, and little brain on the prairie. lead on wiz of naught. quite an awe inspiring army you are assembling. "maybe" if the three of you combine your intellects you might be able to find the answer which eludes you. sometimes the reward is found during the journey. if you arrive at the end feeling devoid of conclusion then the meaning escaped you. use caution when attempting to get on the boat, check to see if someone is rocking it first.

Oh my, lookie here... fishernick adds another diatribe, insulting anyone who doesn't agree with him, all the while still dodging the only question that has been asked of him in the past two days.
So, I will repeat it, because apparently he has to be asked a dozen times before complying. (I had an eight-year-old nephew like that ... then he turned nine. Would you happen to have a birthday coming up soon fishernick? we are all hoping so.)

At any rate, here is the question you keep dodging ... just in case you forgot:

The phrase "Over Rated" means your rated too high, you fall short of others expectations.

Is Tom Brady Over-Rated? Well Over-Rated most definetly doesnt mean someone sucks, it just means they are over-glorified.

Tom Brady is without doubt the most talented QB this generation. To argue that shows arrogance. Why is he the best right now? Because straight up, on paper he holds the most records, has the highest QB rating and wears the most rings of todays QB's. That being said, the proof is in the preverbial pudding.

I think the Pats had an unbeleivable season, the announsers and media certainly ate it up. Tom Brady had an overly acceptional season, by ANY QB's standards, for this reason alone he was proclaimed to be the best all time QB because his numbers were so ridiculously high.

If the world was invaded by a breed of aliens next week and human survival somehow depended on us beating the aliens at a football game and we had the ability to pick any QB of all time. Who would you pick? I know this is a retarded question, but think about it for real. Next to Montana at his prime Brady would probably be the second most popular choice. For me Id take Brady over montana.

Anyway think about it then ask yourself if Tom is really over-rated. Bottom line, the guys one of, if not the best QB ever produced. Over-Rated? Nah again that title goes to Eli

OK OK OK OK OK Tom Brady to billymccool is the best QB ever ...... whoop dee do ...... his opinion. And that's great for billymccool and all the Pats fans who agree!

I think Tom is a great QB also ......... no doubt.

But then he throws in ELI as the one who is over rated. Ridiculous

Eli was never even rated as even close to the top 10 QB's this year or any year he played. No one thought highly of him. How could he ever be called over rated is beyond me. Even this year all the way to the Superbowl he had no respect. Even winning all his away games in a season which is next to impossible to do. Oh wait I hear in the background People screaming Brady did it. Well then you are wrong he lost the Superbowl which is away! No one gave Eli a chance and he proved everyone wrong. That he actually could win in the playoffs and win the BIG ONE. Even against Tom Brady and the undefeated Patriots.

So Mr Billymccool: That last sentence in your post is

If Tom Brady was the best QB ever how did he possibly loss the most important game in his career and a perfect season ever to Eli and Giants? Guess Tom is OVER RATED then, everyone thought the Patriots won the Superbowl before the game even started.

Well when a QB wins a super bowl, regardless of his reputation before, it puts them in a different light. Is Eli a good QB? Good would be average in my opinion and Eli's numbers are just that, average. The perception that the team who wins the super bowl has the best players, the best QB is retarded and any football fan knows that. But the general public doesnt. People know who Eli is now because he won the Super Bowl. But its all fluff. Any real football fan, aside from a NY fan of course would agree that Eli is just an average QB. Hense the over-rated bit.

Tom Brady didnt lose the super bowl, If you watched the game youll see the defensive line was less the par. Brady played a good game. The QB can only stack up the points, they cant prevent the opponent from scoring.

BS

Brady scored only 14 points.....What happened to Mr. Great?

Oh yes I did watch the game. Maybe you where to busy Did you see Eli play a great game? Did you see the Giants defense sack your boy Brady several times?

Yes Eli is a good QB ......... better then you and everyone thought. Four years in the pros and he already won a Superbowl. Give me a break. Each of his last three years he was consistent 23 or more touch downs and over 3000 yards each year!

He was under the most pressure all season from the Media and being an underdog all season. And with all that he played better than Brady in the Superbowl.
