Nothing but love and respect for Kev, but Barto nailed it here:
Honestly, Kev, if the thread is unreadable I'd say it's because of people taking things far too seriously, and reading into them things that aren't there. All I did was say that watching Brady pick apart a D is still a great thing to watch, and you make it out to be something bigger than that. If Baker Mayfield managed to pull that off at some point I'd say the exact same thing about him and you wouldn't have any commentary to add. I did say that about His Majesty Sir Patrick Mahomes and, aside from Stadler, crickets. You share a chunk of responsibility if the thread is as bad as you think it is.
Anyhow, as far as Brady, it's...complicated. And both the media's overreaction to everything he does, as well as how he carries himself, make it so. His performance at the end of last night's game is typical of what makes him so great. And his overall demeanor in game and on the sidelines are typical of why a lot of people dislike him. He just comes across as self-centered and entitled. When things aren't going well, he's impatient and comes across like he's blaming everyone else for making him look bad. It almost feels like he's just thinking, "I'm amazing and I don't have time for substandard performance. If you can't make that play, you're hurting my legacy and don't belong on a team with me." Even if that's NOT what he's thinking, that's how it comes across, and that's a bad look. Part of me loves seeing him have continued success because it's mindblowing that he can still achieve greatness this long in the league, and that is itself praiseworthy and enjoyable to watch. But the attitude that comes with it, whether real or perceived, is also incredibly offputting.
And no problem praising others when they do similar things. Mahomes doing something similar was pretty awesome to see. No problem acknowledging that. On the other hand, I can still think he is overrated, and I can still intensely dislike him for being such an awful human being. Those aren't mutually exclusive.
