Patriots without Brady - 11 -5 - made playoffs with Matt Cassell Colts without Peyton - 2 - 14 - worst record in the league
Air Yards Comparison 2012 - Peyton 4th, Brady 18th Completion percentage Career - Peyton (65.2%), Brady (63.7%)
My point - Tom Brady is NOT the best ever, he's not even better than Peyton. (1) Peyton makes more difficult throws at a higher percentage, (2) He obviously meant more to his team when he went down. Brady is the best system quarterback ever, but shouldn't even be in the conversation for the best overall, based on the evidence above.
Please don't come with the "rings" argument either... cough "spygate" cough.
It's the job of the NBA team to draft wisely. It has zero to do with Noel entering the league at 19 versus 18.
You can't call these kids adults in one sentence, and children that need protection in the next. At 18, you're a man and you are allowed to make a living however you choose. Let the kids jump straight to the NBA; after-all they're the ones mortgaging their ultimate future by turning down college, but it's still their God/societal given right to do so.
I've watched.. the kid is overweight, out of shape, and can't jump. He cries like a baby whenever there is contact instead of playing big and finishing. He's a 6'8 PF whining for touch fouls like a 5'10 PG.
If I were a ref, I wouldn't blow my whistle either. Basketball used to be a man's game... now we have the Sullinger's of the world play Pu**y ball.
I saw Gilbert play in his state championship in HS... the last three years haven't even begun to touch the potential this kid has... I saw him live, in person, throw a ball 55 yards downfield perfect between to defenders right on the numbers.
There weren't cheers... everyone was stunned. This 18 y/o kid made a hall of fame throw.
College was built for Tebow. Why take a kid, who was correctly called the best High School QB since Marino, and try to turn him into Vince Young/Colt McCoy? It's just puzzling.
Amare' needs a post game, and if Carmelo could play defense and think about his teammates he could be a dominating Point Forward. Draft or trade for a scoring first 2 guard matchup problem (Kevin Martin on the Rockets, Tyreke Evans from the Kings, or let Shumpert evolve into that role) and this team can win ball games with a Steve Kerr-like one guard.
But it all goes back to the maturation of Melo and a new system.
Someone is looking at big money if they get a lawyer.

Thanks for the old, "we will eventually get back to being the greatest country in the world by being more selfish" excuse.

A step in the right direction is still moving in the right direction, regardless if it's baby steps.
Of course, to the people who live such better lives posting 10000+ times on a sports message board, he will probably be the worst man who ever lived.
Oh, the irony...
Chandler is doing what he is paid to do... try and rebound 1 vs 3 while the rest of team hacks up jumpshots.
HE TOOK 40 EFFING SHOTS THE OTHER DAY!
It's one thing to be wrong... but its another thing to be stupidly wrong for the sake of making an argument.
