It proves that with Brady they are Super Bowl caliber while without him they can't even make the playoffs.
No. It proves that they play in a great division and Tom Brady is the GOAT. It doesnt at all prove that backup QBs dont win games. Stop it already.

Read the first few explanations of contracts for Rodgers, Wilson, Carr, Murray, and Stafford, including earliest outs and dead money. Love Dak or hate him, love Jerry or hate him, I think you’ll appreciate just how good Dak’s contract is compared to other QBs. Most of those teams have no options at all and are stuck with QBs, no matter how bad things get. The Cowboys are likely to extend Dak soon because they believe in him, but his contract is very team friendly and has a really easy out.

Unrelated side-note, I was surprised by former QB Tim Hasselbeck’s list of NFC QB’s he trusts most to win an NFC playoff game. He had Dak at number 2.
Dak doesn't want an extension. He wanted the short contract so he could entirely re-do it as the market changes. He'll be looking for $70-100 million per year in a couple of years. Only takes one team to be dumb enough to do it.

Russell Wilson might be changing some minds on that right now though.

I didn't say back up don't win games.

I said that when your team goes 4-1 without you you're not a difference maker.

In the Pats case, with Brady they win Super Bowls, without Brady they don't even make the playoffs.

But they went 10-5. So obviously with that logic. Brady isnt a difference maker...

Brady is the difference in Super Bowls and not even making the playoffs.

What part of that are you not understanding? lol
Brady wasnt the difference. Brady could have had the same record and not made the playoffs. What arent you understanding?

You say that as if Brady would've had the same record.
We will never know. But your argument is baseless because 10-5 is 99 percent of the time a playoff record. Blaming Cassel for not making the playoffs and saying "well Brady would have" is a bad argument. Even for you.

You said you got it from PFR so just post the link?
I'm not researching it for ya, Rocky.

You just go on being wrong and looking foolish because you're wanting someone else to do the work for you.

You just have to accept my research since you won't do your own.

Facts are fact, bro.

Brady is a difference maker. From Super Bowl to missing the playoffs.

Dak, not so much.

The fact is. You dont know if Brady would have made the playoffs that year. But his backup won 10 games. Which means that in your logic. Tom Brady isnt a difference maker.

You know what we do know for a 100% fact though? That Brady's back up didn't lead the team to the playoffs coming off an undefeated regular season and Super Bowl the previous year.
