Longtime Patriots Nemesis Says Tom Brady Is ‘Clear-cut No. 2’ All Time, More Of A ‘System’ QB

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is the greatest of all time, but some people, including former football players, won’t admit it. Former NFL safety Bernard Pollard is one of them.

Pollard will be remembered as the player who hurt Tom Brady in Week 1 of the 2008 season. He was playing for the Kansas City Chiefs, and put an end to Brady’s regular season before it even started. The former safety tackled Brady, and tore his ACL.

Let’s be honest. This made Pollard one of the most disliked athletes in Boston, and he faced serious criticism over the years. Did he really need to pour all this criticism? Pollard called Brady the “clear cut No. 2 quarterback of all time. Brady was also called a “system” quarterback. Really? The Patriots nation won’t like this at all.

Brady helped the Patriots win six Super Bowls, and Pollard didn’t even take this into consideration. He criticized Brady without any base for his comments, and maybe his attitude has something to do with the treatment he received after hurting Brady.

So, NFL.com ranked the greatest quarterbacks of all time, and Brady was No. 1. Of course. What else would you expect? TB12 is undoubtedly the best quarterback ever, and Pollard made a mistake by criticizing Brady.

If you ask Pollard, he will say that Peyton Manning is better than Brady.

“Y’all crazy! Peyton is #1 no doubt! Can’t go by rings. The things he did on two different teams are mind blowing. Tom Brady is clear cut #2. Tom has played in a system that works (no doubt he’s been special), Peyton WAS the system.”

Brady’s fans jumped into defending their idol.

“To ALL the Patriot fans that call me a ‘cheap shot artist.’ In 5 games playing against the Patriots this is the ONLY flag that was thrown against me. After the appeal the @NFL said ‘play was clean.’ Y’all try again.”

Let’s see what happens next. Will Pollard change his mind? I don’t think so. He is full of hate.

Will Brady respond to his comments? That’s not his style. He doesn’t even think of his haters.
