Another QB Rating Disrespected Tom Brady for No Reason and We're All Confused
By Jerry Trotta
Was there a "bash on the greatest quarterback of all-time club" recently assembled that we weren't invited to? It sure seems like it because Tom Brady has had far too much disrespect recently thrown his way for our liking.
On Thursday, Doug Farrar of USA Today ranked the six-time Super Bowl Champ as the No.19 overall player in the league ahead of the 2019-2020 season. What's even more shambolic is that he was penciled in as the SIXTH-best QB.
And this gaffe comes just a few months after Chris Simms ranked Brady No.9 on his annual QB list, calling the three-time MVP a eulogized system's gun-slinger AND the third-best QB in football history.
We've literally never been more befuddled. How can "analysts" like Farrar and Simms get paid to slight a player of Tom's prestige? More importantly, how do they sleep at night? Do they actually think their asinine assessments make the slightest bit of sense?
Calling out Brady, fresh off a 4,355-passing yard and 29-touchdown campaign last time out (oh, and a ring), is a fireable offense.
We're almost convinced people hate on No.12 for publicity and clicks.
We all know that the GOAT feeds off this type of criticism, so expect the ageless wizard to come out firing once September rolls around.
What's that old saying about buffoons ultimately eating crow?
