You do realize the 5 yard Chuck Rule was put into the NFL in 1978, right? The enforcement has been nconsistent, but its been there for almost 30 years now. It covered Montana, Marino, Young, Favre, Elway, Esiason, etc.
and you can argue all you want about rules etc and different eras, but come on, Brady has led the Patriots to 7 Super Bowls, and has won 5 of them. 5 freakin Super Bowls. He also authored a 16-0 regular season. All with a bunch of, with the exception of a few star names, a bunch of players most teams would describe as "depth". He makes players better. To say he would be no more than average on another team is disingenuous at best.
