OK, I have to concede if we're going purely on looks, Jimmy G is a hot hunk.
But Brady still has that elite QB mystique, which adds points.
So taken all together, I have them being about equal.

(21,020 posts)3. OK I have
changed my mind after watching last night's game (NE vs NYG).
Jimmy Garoppolo made my palms sweat a bit. And it wasn't just his awesome (for a rookie in his first full NFL game) passes.

The game situation was totally different for Jimmy Garoppolo, of course, but it was impossible not to notice what happened at the end of Monday night's game.
Garoppolo, the Patriots' second-round pick this year, came in and gave a dead offense some life. He took a team that couldn't move the ball and immediately drove the Patriots for a touchdown.
And as that was happening it was impossible to also not think about Tom Brady in the past tense. To wonder if we're just never going to see one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history be great anymore. It was also worth wondering if the Patriots' incredible dynasty died at Arrowhead Stadium, too. That's how bad the 41-14 loss was. The Patriots have never looked this incompetent in the Belichick-Brady era.
Maybe the Patriots and Brady are fooling us and by the end of the year they'll wear the "AFC East Champions" hats with yet another double-digit win season and look back on this game at Kansas City and laugh. But the Patriots' embarrassment was so thorough and complete that you have to wonder if that team is ever coming back.
The Chiefs played a magnfiicent all-around game, and they deserve a lot of credit. But the Patriots looked terrible, too. The Patriots were outgained 303-96 in the first half. The defense was awful, as bad as a Bill Belichick defense has ever looked. But the defense has played well at times this year. Brady hasn't.

(29,348 posts)6. Brady #31 in yards per pass attempt
He started last season at the bottom too but climbed his way up but still way below his 2003-2012 numbers
