During last year’s preseason, when Brady put up some great stats, naysayers and critics brushed it off because he wasn’t playing against the starting units. Ok, fine.

So why is it that now, during camp, when he’s not as consistent, is no one mentioning the fact that he’s not playing with the starters?

Can’t have it both ways. It seems people bring up his competition and players he’s throwing to all the time just to discount when he plays well. When he doesn’t do as well, there’s no mention of it. He just must not be that good.

I’m a conspiracy theorist, and I think it’s not just Brady that needs to be consistent. Critics, media, COACHES, and fans alike need to keep it real. If Brady was throwing to the likes of Braylon Edwards, K2, and Donté Stallworth, I doubt he’d have as many picks as he’s had. Hell, I could suit up for the Browns and throw to Braylon and look impressive. And I’m a girl. Braylon is that good.

Why this post? Because of this story and many others like it.

We fans know that he’s going to brush. that. dirt off his shoulder and keep trying to improve. I just felt I needed to point out something that a lot of others are downplaying in attempt to make BQ look bad. Yes, he has things he needs to work on. What QB doesn’t? Consistency is the goal. I just ask that people consider all the facts before passing judgement and making bold statements about Brady’s skills.

Stop the madness, people. Just. Stop.

And to make this post a little more news-worthy, Day 8 Coverage can be found here, from the Cleveland Plain Dealer. I like the bulleted points format. It’s great for those of us with short attention spans.

Don’t you all wish you had a blog like this where you could openly rant? Ah, life is good!
