Default Ateam - You have to take the good with the bad

You dropped a flashy "VOA" stat on me a few days ago that showed the Jets having the best defense in 2009 - with the Pats back in mid-pack.

Cool - since I haven't followed football in terms of following more than one player since about high school and grade school - I wasn't really sure what the stat meant.

I just thought you might like to know that the same stat applied to QB's - from that same site - rates Tom Brady the NFL's #1 QB in 2009.

The schedule was so daunting, Brady had the toughest schedule for a quarterback since Football Outsiders started measuring stats.
Yeah, toughest in terms that he was beaten to sh!t the whole year and playing like a cripple at the end. I'm not sure if I even buy all the stories about him playing through 6 broken ribs and a thumb injury last season .. but I certainly don't buy he was the best qb in the NFL last year.
