Tom Brady is NOT a system quarterback

For the longest time, there has been this notion that Tom Brady is somehow a system quarterback. Tom Brady has been here before. Participating in the playoffs, with a ticket to the conference championship on the line, the future Hall of Famer again did what he does best: make the plays when it mattered the most, and ultimately lead his team to victory. That team may look different this season, but the result remains the same. Even in Tampa Bay, Brady keeps adding to his status as the greatest quarterback to ever grace the gridiron. Now, he is headed to his 14th conference title game. During the 2001 season, he led the team on an unprecedented run of success: 13 AFC Championship appearances — including eight straight between 2011 and 2018 — and six Super Bowl wins in a 19-year span was never seen before. However, there were always those who wanted to dispute Brady’s status atop the quarterback mountaintop. Experts attempted to stir controversy for clicks, or simple internet trolls, their battle cry was always the same - Brady is a system quarterback.

The bottom line is Brady does a lot at the line scrimmage. Brady deciphers defensive coverages, sees where the blitz is coming from, and makes any necessary audibles. Brady's strength is how he identifies those matchups and exploits them. If he has a small corner covering a tight end, he goes there. If he sees a slow linebacker covering a running back out on the flat, he goes there.

Divisional round playoff game over the New Orleans Saints once again showed that this line of thinking was never rooted in fact, but merely in a mix of emotion and/or ignorance. Brady led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a 30-20 victory, and even though he did not play his best statistical game was able to get the job done when he needed to against an opponent that beat his new team twice in the regular season. Tom Brady is Putting the “System QB” Label to Bed Once and For All. Tom Brady was the ‘system’ in New England.
