How much do they get paid for this stuff?

Watching the first quarter of the Patriots-Raiders. Tom Brady has tried 9 passes. He has had absolutely all day to throw. His protection is perfect. His receivers have been totally wide open on 8 of the passes and slightly open on the first one. Brady badly missed two throws that any decent QB should make and overthrow the first one (although arguably he might have been throwing it too far on purpose).

So he should be 8 of 9, but is only 6 of 9.

John Madden is talking about how cool he is. No KIDDING! No one on the defense has gotten withing 5 yards of him. How could he not be?!

Brady has to be the most overrated athlete in the history of sport. And no one else is even close.

He grades out worse than mediocre in the first quarter. Nothing exceptional. Nothing even noteworthy. Just 2 bad pass plays that any ordinary NFL QB should be expected to deliver easily when the protection is great and the receiver is wide open. And 6 really easy completions.
