Nation comes to their senses, agrees Tom Brady is still elite

Boston Globe

What have you done for me lately? That's the standard every quarterback is held to. It doesn't matter how much success they have had in the past. All it takes is one bad game and all of a sudden the back up QB is the most popular guy in town.

Tom Brady isn't immune from that. After his early season struggles a SportsNation poll was split 50/50 on whether he was still an elite quarterback. Then he went on his current tear to the tune of 100-of-144 for 1,268 yards, 14 touchdowns and no interceptions. After that, the poll looked completely different with 76% of the nation feeling he was once again "elite".

Via ESPN:

This is why I'm not a fan of the "jump to conclusions" game the media likes to play. Sometimes it just takes a few weeks for teams to round into form. As Bill Belichick always says, the real season starts after Thanksgiving and that's when you want to be playing your best football.

Me? well i thought you'd never ask. well i'm around 25 years old, give or take, i mean the only way to tell for sure is to cut me open and count my rings but for now i'm content to say i'm 25. i'm freakin funny, and if you disagree with me i will stab you in the jaw. i love to just chill with my friends, they are awesome, they laugh at my jokes, sure, it took some jaw stabbing but hey its not always easy. i haven't quite mastered the whole think before you speak program, apparently, if you start a sentence with "now don't take this the wrong way" people still take it the wrong way. i know, i know, it doesn't make any sense to me either, but it happens. twice while i was fishing, i've seen beavers with paws the size of frying pans that could rip a mans face right off! oh and i hate bears, its just terrible what happened to those two hikers from the czech republic. terrible. i really like to go fourwheeling, i like to work on cars but i'm way to lazy to actually do it. i cant wait to go snowboarding this winter, i'm pretty good, steve once said i looked like a train wreck, he's borderline pro, so that really made my day. oh and once i had a dream.
