This is the problem, he's a very good quarterback. Unfortunately, lazy morons like to look at a team achievement (championships) as a measure of a player's greatness. The word "overrated" doesn't mean the guy sucks, it means he gets way more credit than he deserves. This seems to happen often w/ QBs who happen to play on championship teams that rely on other great aspects besides the passing game to attain that success.

EXACTLY
the dude has won 2 superbowls LARGELY because of defense (his 2nd having the greatest defensive play in superbowl history). His 1st superbowl ring was won in spite of him....over half the qbs in the league would have won that game with that team.

Didn't his defense waste a 2 score lead, followed by Ben leading a game winning drive with one hell of a pass into triple coverage?

2nd Super Bowl btw

The same exact thing could be said for Brady's first two superbowls.
