In an NFL Countdown feature that originally aired in 2017, past and present New England Patriots backup QBs Brian Hoyer, Jacoby Brissett, Kliff Kingsbury and Damon Huard share how they’ve learned from Tom Brady’s preparation and competitiveness. To illustrate Brady’s competitiveness, his former backups reveal stories of Brady’s beer-chugging expertise (1:44), intensity during charity basketball games (2:17) and stubbornness during training camp mini-games (2:50).

So I did it."

Ker Xiong Without Brees the saints will be like the 2016 browns Tom Brady is overrated,do you really think he could play anywhere else and get that many Super Bowls? Matt Cassel and Jimmy Garopallo and Brian Hoyer have had slot of success there too,he is a system quarterback,Brees dominates Brady statistically. Brees in 2018:32 Touchdowns 5 Interceptions Brady the system quarterback in a weak division in 2018: 29 Touchdowns 11 Interceptions,also unlike Brady,Brees isn’t the beneficiary of bad calls he got screwed. Saints would have won and it would have never gone to overtime if the correct call was made,also Michael Thomas was blatantly interfered with on the play where Drew Brees got picked off and also Tom Brady got picked off TWICE AGAINST KANSAS CITY WHICH IS 31st in defense (almost worst in the entire league) your argument is invalid

@TheCrazyOgre 5 лет назад

I disagree on the future thing.... a lot of QB's get drafted, end up being backups, and then are out of the league in a year or two. Most of the Pats backups played longer than the average NFL player, and some of them have had success as starters for stretches of time. Obviously they didn't turn into superstars, but they didn't completely wash out either. Being able to BE a backup QB in the league, and not like the 4th backup QB xD is not a bad thing. There are only around 16 men on the planet who can be good QB's in the NFL on any given year xD Let's not act like the guys who are the next best thing are bad.
