Since Superbowl XLII nearly 4 years ago, Tim Tebow has won more playoff games than Tom Brady. Brady was once thought to be Montana-esque in winning all the big games. However, despite great regular seasons since returning from his knee injury he is 0-2 in the playoffs – the opposing Quarterbacks that engineered these wins against Brady were Joe Flacco and Mark Sanchez. Seriously!
Here’s three thing we know about Tebow that have nothing to do with his religious beliefs. 1) He’s a very good QB and getting better with each start, 2) he’s a winner that plays his best when it matters most, and 3) he’s not even close to being as good as Brady. Brady’s legacy right now is still as one of the greatest Quarterbacks of all time highlighted by his clutch playoff performances, but If the Broncos somehow beat the Patriots this weekend, his legacy will take a bigger hit than Ricky Williams in an Amsterdam Café.
On the other hand, Brady has a unique opportunity this year to immortalize himself next to Joe Montana and Terry Bradshaw as the only Quarterbacks to ever win four Superbowls. While many think the 15-1 Packers will stand in their way, I think another chapter will be added to the Book of Eli this weekend with what might trump last week’s Pitt-Denver game as the biggest upset of the playoffs. With the way the Giants are playing, they might roll through the Big Easy to set up a rematch of Superbowl XLII.
AND THAT’S THE BRUTAL TRUTH!
