I found my kendo stick, bitch!

I think that without his particular set of circumstances as they were, Brady may have never started a single NFL game. But let's pretend anyway that he does come in and start for the Colts. The Colts were a weaker team throughout most of the last 20 years. A lot of their success relied on being carried by a hall of fame QB. Not so much with the Patriots - Tom Brady wasn't even that great until about his fourth or fifth year, and was largely carried through three super bowl wins by a great coach and a great defense. The term "Game Manager" was thrown around quite a bit.

On another team I don't think Brady would have lasted those 4-5 years to become what he is now. It's quite possible he'd have become a career backup, drifting around the league once his rookie contract was done. Maybe he comes in and has a good game somewhere and ends up with a starting contract, and maybe that doesn't even pan out. Basically, Matt Flynn.
