Yes, logical...but media circus.
Retrospect is instructive.

Thadd, TB12 is one of, if not the best QB's of all time. Not admitting that makes you look bad.
Sorry about your Steelers Brian, for once I was rooting for them.
The commentators on ESPN and the NFL network and about every NFL player ever interviewed would disagree with you on that. There is nothing Brady could ever do to change your mind.
Paid shills. Bandwagon appeal. Take your pick. I also hear reviewers hyping all sorts of video games as the greatest thing since sliced bread, but that doesn't mean it's true either. Movie critics that rave over crap like Twilight & Hunger Games. And people who ASPIRE to be like Kim Kardashian.
There's a lot of stupid, and it's virulently contagious. Just because some talking-head on TV said it doesn't mean it's true. Hell, that's how the Ferguson riots expanded so much--some talking-head decided that there was a race issue going on. He's a good QB--competent even under moderate amounts of pressure. But without bellicheat's system--he's probably Curtis Painter.
Hell, I have the UTMOST respect for Montana's tenure with the niners, but I'd be hard pressed to call him the greatest QB of all time--not without a serious discussion. People tend to look at the team's overall success (especially rings) as the ultimate litmus test of a QB's merits. Well if that's the case, then we might as well throw Aikman and Kelly up there as contenders for GOAT. Yet Kelly rarely comes up on the list, and Marino does. Apparently team record isn't everything.
They got flat-out out hustled. Not having Bell really affected their gameplan and the run not being a threat made the Ravens key up on pass plays. Also, the Steelers atrocious passing defense reared its ugly head again.
It's disappointing to be one and done, but considering the past two seasons they were 8-8 and sitting at home I was glad they made it this far. The offense is dynamic and if the can get the d to step it up again they could be a total powerhouse next season.
Brady is a QB of his system. Place him in Cleveland, Tampa, etc and the are still subpar. Matt Cassel is the perfect example. He excelled playing in NE while Brady was out and got paid a ton of money to start for KC and has been insignificant since.
I'll give Brady some credit because he's a fierce competitor and a fairly accurate thrower, but he does get all day to throw. Put him behind the Redskins or Tampa's O-line and his immobile ass get's sacked 5-6 times a game.
