Brady Named Most Indispensable

ESPN.com has named Patriots quarterback Tom Brady as the most indispensable player in the National Football League.  Brady seems to be the most logical choice.  It’s hard to even imagine the Patriots franchise without him.  When the Patriot’s franchise quarterback went down early in the 2001-2002 season, all thought the season was lost.  Enter this scrawny, wet behind the ears kid who played at Michigan and couldn’t even win the starting job from the likes of Drew Henson.  But Brady was good, not spectacular but good.  He was good enough to keep the starting gig even after Bledsoe was cleared to play again.  What a move that turned out to be.

The Pats made their magical run to the Super Bowl where they defeated a heavily-favored Rams club that had won the Super Bowl just a couple of years earlier.  Since, the Patriots have appeared in three more Super Bowls, winning two of them, and Brady has earned himself an MVP award and two Super Bowl MVPs.  Without Tom Brady, it’s hard to imagine that the team would have won any of those titles, let alone be the perennial powerhouse they are year in and year out.  As for his importance to this season’s club, picture Matt Cassel or Kevin O’Connell under center for the team.  Any way you look at it, Tom Brady truly is the most indispensable player in the NFL.
