Are you watching the same game I am? How could a QB play any better? did u see that running throw for the TD? Good lord. It reminds me of Manning several years ago where they are just laughably good. Yes im watching the game, and i have always been a huge Brees fan. But Tom Brady from last year says hello. Spygate hurt Brady as much as it hurt the Patriots IMO. It's not as hard to be great when you know what the defense will do before you even snap the ball. You realize spygate was revealed like AFTER week 1 right? So even if you want to act like it was a huge deal, he still dominated 2007 without any "help". The Patriots have admitting to taping as far back as 2000, the year Brady was drafted. Having access to that kind of material is probably quite valuable to the development of a young QB. Also, you can take away the tapes and notes but you can't take away 6-7 years of studying that tape over and over again. Surely you don't think Brady is just good b/c he watched tapes. He has a little bit of talent.
