    No one given 1000 do-overs could predict that Brady would be what he is. But looking back just on what he did at Michigan, 6th round? I could see 3rd or 4th based on a lack of volume and measurables. Maybe scouting departments didn't have the resources in 2000, or maybe they were just lazy.
    It wasn't like they always wanted freak athletes with cannon arms. Peyton Manning was 1st overall in 98. A bit more of a polished version of Brady with higher volume numbers in college.

      Watching the film, to me, Brady looks significantly better in 2001 than he did in college. They read his talent right, they just didn’t know he was gonna become obsessive about every little detail. Brady had enough talent to be a reliable starter but it was his obsessive nature that made him great

      It is still strange. Lamar Jackson was picked at 32 and really pissed when that happened. Before him were Darnold and Rosen for example. This year Achane was picked at 84, he looked to me like the nr. 3 pick behind Young and Stroud.

    The scouting report you listed was MEL KIPPUR...Brady was not ranked high because it was political as Michigan was still trying to push Henson in the draft..that's why it took brady years to go back to Michigan... brady in his last 2 years was 20-5...was the last qb until recently to beat Ohio and Alabama...broke records in both the citrus and orange bowl...came back from 2 digit deficits in orange bowl thst was inspired....bradys greatness even in college had nothing to do with stats...it was his leadership and his ability to galvanized a team to believe and follow him....all you heard after that orange bowl victory was his teammates saying how Brady carried the team on his back....no Brady was a victim of politics on draft day...I for one am glad, because it MADE BRADY A LIVING LEGEND...BRADY ONCE SAID " I DONT WANT TO BE KNOWN AS THE GREATEST I WANT TO BE THE MOST UNFORGETTABLE " he wanted that when football was mentioned you coukd not do it with his name NOT being mentioned...AND BY GOLLY HE DID THAT

      @@bradstrayer485 Sometimes people say more by leaving stuff out. Jerry Rice admitted to using something that was technically illegal according to The Written Rules in the NFL at that time. If everyone else did, then what you just said applies to him.
      Deflate-gate _and_ the illegal recording of other teams' practices had been going on *for years* before either was discovered. One was uncovered *during a playoff game.*
      Simply reverse this. Had it been Brady & Bellichick who had _lost_ due to another team doing this to them, would we ever have heard the end of it?
      It's something quite interesting in the American Psyche. We want heroes, but we don't want to look _too_ high to see them. So we dismiss their faults.
      But imagine Tom having to explain to his own kids once they're old enough how or why he did that. I doubt it would do well for their self-esteem for him to just say "others _would have_ done the same." Wtf does that even _mean_ when others all had that exact same opportunity & _didn't_ do it? It's utterly empty rhetoric.

      @@choosecarefully408 You are extremely naive to believe that the Patriots were the ONLY team to film practices, or try to use tactics to win. Secondly, deflategate is the dumbest excuse any Brady/Patriots haters use. The difference in PSI is minimal, not enough to provide a benefit. The required PSI is 12.5-13.5, 11 of the 12 balls tested at 11.5-12 PSI.
      Again I want to reiterate that you would be extremely naive to believe other teams didn't do things like film practices, or try and get coaches play books. I sincerely hope you don't genuinely believe that to be true.

      4) So if deflate-gate was not effective, again, what is that supposed to mean? That it shouldn't be illegal? Is diminishing its effects just something you do out of total ignorance? Or is it to make the Patriots more stupid for risking doing it? Have _you_ ever played football with or without these differences in psi & can you tell the difference? Hey, why not go all the way & imply it made life _harder_ for the team? After all, they'd only bothered doing it for years.
      You can't have it both ways. It either was cheating or it wasn't worth doing/risking fines, suspension, heck, total ejection from the league. Also, again, reverse it. Who wants to be the ones to lose to cheats?
      One way or another, it tarnishes everything. It's like steroids & baseball. Mark McGwire wouldn't have made the majors without 'em, & it diminishes what hitters like Stan Musial or Willie Mays did. & if it "weren't a big deal" no one would _do_ 'em.
      5) Btw, saying that other teams also try & would love to film other teams' practices kind of _emphasizes that_ it's illegal & always should be, not diminishes, dismisses or reduces its impact.

    If you asked 1000 of the greatest draft analysts back in 2000, not a single one of them would say that Brady would become a 7 time superbowl winner, 5 time superbowl mvp, 3 time mvp, 80k+ passing yards and 600+ touchdowns or anything even remotely close to what he was. That was because they focused on the physical aspects like his 5.28 40 yard dash or his terrible 3 cone drill but not a single one of them saw the intense drive to win that Brady had or his ability to perform when it mattered the most.

      @@billdang3953 I think Montana had more people interested in him than Brady. Sam Wyche said that there were fights in other teams' draft rooms over Montana.
      One example was in Green Bay. Scout Red Cochrane had watched him for four years at ND, and said that he just wins (sounds like Tebow). He was beside himself when Bart Starr took two guys from Maryland in Rounds 2 and 3 that didn't make much impact.
      Besides the Packers, there were other interested teams. The Bears were all set to take Joe early in Round 3, but Jim Finks got retarded and took a backup for Payton that fizzled. The Chiefs' QB coach (Kay Dalton) liked Montana, but their a@@hat team president (Jack Steadman) forced them to trade back into Round 1 and take the crappy Steve Fuller. Also, the Cowboys would have taken him if they didn't have three QB's, and Todd Haley's dad (who was an assistant with the Steelers in 1979) liked Montana.

    • @thehalftimeshow
      @thehalftimeshow  6 месяцев назад +1

      There are visible metrics and invisible metrics. The great teams/scouts can see the invisible metrics. There are many variables. Because the player has to take advantage of the opportunity he is given and the team needs to do everything they can to provide the best environment for their players to develop. That is a short summary. It is a lot more complex than that.

      @@MShot98 Peninnington was barely healthy because the Jets and Dolphins couldn’t protect him. That being said, Brady probably would have never gotten the chance to become Brady had he been drafted by the Jets, either. Nor would he have even been allowed to continue in the starting QB role on most other teams after their QB1 came back from injury. So Brady’s success is as much to do with who drafted him (Patriots, with Belicheck willing to trust in him long term) and when he was drafted (late 6th round so no pressure to perform immediately on a garbage team with no protection) as it was with his abilities. That being said, Brady made absolutely sure that when he got his chance, he would be able to take advantage of his shot, because he knew he might not get a second chance. So from the time he was drafted, he made sure that he kept working and improving his play (which he continued to do throughput his career). He could have resigned himself to being a career backup (which is usually best case scenario for late round picks), but he refused. It’s said that the first day of training camp, he showed up and told one of his coaches (don’t remember which coach) that he (Brady) was the best pick the Patriots ever made.

    No Brady should not have been the first pick. He stock drop because he didn't impress the scouts in person. But he still got drafted. Supposedly only 259 players get drafted out of a pool of 16,000. So Tom was part of the 1.6% of players that got drafted. But by getting drafted low he was able to improve, something 70% of players that get drafted fail to do. So in conclusion, everything went just right.
