He is also 1 for 4 against the spread in Super Bowls which means his team has underperformed against expectations. And the one that he actually covered the spread was completely due to the New England defense shutting down what was thought to be an unstoppable Ram offense. Brady threw for 145 yards in that game.
Vinatieri was clutch, there is nothing remarkable about Brady in clutch situations, that is largely a myth cause he's a popular celebrity, similar to people regarding Jeter as a great clutch hitter when he's just solid in the clutch.

Also, how did Brady become a popular celebrity except by winning titles? Winning is what led to the celebrity, which is no doubt grown to mythical proportions over the years and he's not the God some would want to make him out to be. But he's damn good. And he's clutch.
