how a guy like Brady can play this long in this league and be the most lucky, untouched, clean jersey QB I think I've ever seen. Sure he has had games where he's been knocked around before (the Super Bowls with the Giants), but basically for like 99% of his career...he gets to stand back there and just fire rockets wherever he pleases. How?
And yet we can't even protect Rivers consistently for one full season?? When was the last time Rivers had a good OL for a full year? 2006 or 2007? I honestly can't recall.
Certainly the Patriots have had talent on their OL...but it's not like their lines have been littered with high draft picks or multiple, perennial Pro Bowlers.
It is coaching? Offensive scheme? Hitting on every single draft pick? Does their line get away with more holding?
It's frustrating as hell to watch. I'm sure we're not the only fans that feel this way. It's like the Patriots are the "haves" and everybody else in the league are "have nots."
