Brady got drafted in 2000, didnt win his first SB until 2002. He had a full two years to sit on the sidelines and learn the playbook before he became the Pats starter. By the way. the term "rookie starter", did you just make that up???

Brady came out in the 2000 draft and the Patriots won the Superbowl for the 01 season not the 02, hell in 02 they were 9-7 and didnt even sniff the playoffs. They won in 01, 03, & 04. So he started the season as the 4th string QB Behind Drew, John Friez and Micheal Bishop.or 1 year. He threw 3 passes in 2000. It was his first year starting hence why I labeled him a rookie starter. I guess that was just too complex for you to comprehend.
To your point, sitting on the sidelines means squat. If that was a measure of making you a good QB then career back ups like Billy Joe Holbert, Seneca Wallace, Billy Volek, Chris Redman, & Patrick Ramsey would all be primed and ready to win you 3 SB because they have been on the bench MOST of thier career "learning the system"
Jim Sorgi has backed up Peyton Manning going on 6 years, using your logic he could take over and win the SB too, because he has been on the bench "learning the system"

As much as I like the Falcons I wouldnt go that far.
The keyword here is young. I saw Ryan lead BC against my Yellow Jackets, keep in mind that GTech had John Tenuta (a defensive wizard). Tenuta had a defense that confused Brady Quinn as a jr & sr, DJ Shockley (5th year senior), and Matt Stafford (not saying much). Matt Ryan was unfazed and poised in that game and he looked just like Tom Brady against the Steelers in that game (made all the right throws under pressure). They say that he put in work like Peyton. The kid Ryan's in his second year and could lead ATL to big things.

Your still trying to compare a QB who had 2 years of learning an NFL offense on the sidelines during games and 2 years of practicing with pro talent to a "real" rookie QB fresh out of college. Tom Brady in 2002 was not a rookie QB
Tom Brady was not a rookie QB when he started playing. He was a rookie when he signed with him. However that WAS his rookie season. It was his rookie season, but he was not a rookie QB.

What are you talking about 2002 for? He won the 1st SB in the 2001 1 season. They year after he was drafted. 1 year dude not 2.
Tom Brady was drafted by the Patriots in April of 2000.
His rookie season, the 2000 season, he rode the bench behind Drew Bledsoe.
His second season in the NFL, the 2001 season, Brady became the starter when Drew Bledsoe was injured Sept 23, 2001. He started the next week, and the Patriots won the Super Bowl; Super Bowl XXXVI in New Orleans. That Super Bowl game was played Feb 3, 2002. As is always the case, they are the 2001 champs despite the Super Bowl being played in 2002. This is how it ALWAYS works. For example, the Colts are 2006 champs, the banners say 2006; despite the fact that the Super Bowl game was played in 2007.
His third season, the 2002 season, the Pats went 9-7 and missed the playoffs.
Ok, now, this is the Dolphins thread. They play the Colts this week. I WANT MY FRIENDLY BANTER!!!
