Would the Cowboys be in the Super Bowl if they had just signed Brady?

People are talking like Tampa was a team on the verge of the Super Bowl before Brady got there. They were 7-9 last year. They were 5-11 the two years before that. They had one winning season in the last decade. And it was 9-7. But everyone here is talking about defense and trenches, etc.
They were 7-9 with their quarterback throwing 30 interceptions. You might’ve not thought highly of them but you better believe Brady and his team knew.

Either you are slow or didn’t even watch the game yourself. How in the hell did you watch the game and think those picks aren’t on Brady? This has to be a troll job to rile the site up.....




All of those passes were to Evans....he had the size mis-match.....he didn't realize the blitz situations on the first and 3rd pick...it was a jump ball where if he got his *** in position like he was supposed too...it's an easy completion. The 2nd INT....he had both hands on the ball....should have been caught. Any WR would tell you that. :rolleyes:

And your questioning Brady's decision making?????? Please.....Evans needs to watch more film....and know what to do in a blitz situation.

Brady doesn't fix the historically awful defense we saw the first couple months
Yep. Brady doesn't play defense, special teams or coach. Brady could have made things more interesting but Brady or a healthy Dak would not have win in the playoffs with our Defense, ST and coaches.

Jerry would have sold a lot of jerseys tho, so in Jerry's m in mid the season would be a success.

You have to be trolling and I’m not gonna take the bait. We will just agree to disagree.

No chance. Playoffs definitely. But Brady didn’t carry the team all season. He would’ve put up massive points with our WR trio but our D isn’t stopping anyone. One bad day for Brady, like today, and we get roasted. Make no mistake, Tampa won today despite Tom Brady not because of him.
Despite Brady? The man had some pretty nice TD passes and makes his teammates believe they can win.

TB defensive 2nd level blows Dallas out of the water. Brady would’ve retired after this season if he played for Dallas.

yep! He also gave the ball away 3x. His D saved him. If anyone remembers, GB throttled Tampa earlier in the year. If GB offense doesn’t stall either due to lack of running game or improvement of Tampa D (whatever the reason was), Tampa couldn’t have kept pace while giving it away 3x. He got away with not being great this game. That doesn’t happen with a lesser team.
I don’t have think they can beat KC with Brady at anything less than his absolute best.
I can’t imagine Dak tossing 3x INTs, this board would be crucifying him even if we won. But with our d, we would’ve lost by 40 in that scenario.

Doesn't that prove the point, though? Tampa Bay had mostly the same supporting cast. And the quarterback change made the difference.

Also, sometimes I'm not sure if throwing 30 picks is as bad as it sounds. It depends on whether you're challenging defenses downfield.

The culture, work ethic and attitude change would have had a much bigger impact than his talent. Players working hard. No chance that party against health advice would have happened in Brady's house.

Brady also attracts cheap players who want to play with him and win - as happened in TB.

I wonder 8f Brady has any input on his defensive players based on what he sees in practice. Would Jaylon Smith survive here if we had Brady?

Man most of those picks came in the 4th quarter of games or at crucial times lol. And that does not prove the point. Unless the point is Dak is as bad as Jameis but it usually takes Dak 3 years to throw 30 picks....
