Is Tom Brady Overrated?

This is not a knee-jerk response to yesterday's results.

This is not a post made by a Steelers fan, bitter that his team got punked in two AFC Title Games by Brady's Patriots.

This is an honest question.

Every sports media outlet talks about how clutch Tom Brady is. He's farly clutch, and I'll never deny that. But, he's never performed when the game completely hinged on him.

And i can say that, because there is a huge difference in leading your team down the field for a game winning/game tying field goal attempt, where you just need to move the ball quickly. It's a completely different beast when you have to move the ball into the endzone for a game winning/game tying touchdown. And while Brady has been near flawless in driving his team to put them in position for that field goal, yesterday he failed in his first real post season challenge to lead his team to a game winning touchdown.

Not only did he fail, he didn't give his team a maximized chance, throwing an interception to end the game. He did't go down fighting to the last second, putting the ball where his teamates could make a play, making smart decisions to keep hope alive. He threw the ball into bad coverage, and handed the other team the game.

So, yeah ... I've bought into the Tom Brady hype. I've called him great and clutch. But I'm starting to have doubts.

And I think you should, too.
