I didn't watch the Rams game & haven't watched them play at all this year, so I can't really comment on the o-line, but...

after watching Denver all year and their horrible o-line, you have to give it a big look.

folks will argue, but is Tom Brady REALLY a great QB or is he a by-product of a great system and great o-line???

Think back to the year the Chefs busted up his leg. Who replaced him? Cassel did and he went on to win a chitload of games that year. He was the next coming of Jesus, behind Brady. So much so, that KC dropped a chitload of coin on the guy cause he looked so great in New England.

Now he's been thru 3-4 teams, playing backup for Dallas and still looks like chit. Why? Cause he wasn't that good to begin with.

So back to the o-line deal, if a system has a great o-line that protects the qb and can also run the ball, hell, you two old farts could qb for New England..

I still say brady is a by-product. You put him on another team with no running game & chitty pass blocking, he'll look like dog chit. yes he has talent, but...

How is STL's running game?? Non-existant??

HAUS, I see your point and don't completely disagree. But you have to give credit to Brady for making the passes, even when everyone else is doing their jobs well. Watch the failed QB's over the last few years and the vast majority of them simply can't hit the targets when they're open. A huge part of the success of Kurt Warner was the fact that he could hit Holt and Bruce and even Faulk with pinpoint accuracy, when they were open. If you put Foles in Brady's spot right now he would be better, no question. But he would not be anywhere near the caliber of Brady. Had you been watching the Rams games, you would see balls sailing high, underthrown and both too far in front or behind open receivers. Either he just doesn't have what it takes or he needs a shrink!!!

BTW, I'm feeling a bit sorry for Broncos fans. That situation is deteriorating rapidly, right in front of our very eyes. But mother nature NEVER gets beat. She has a firm grasp on Manning and isn't letting go...
