Tom Brady and Andy Dalton against Texans

This team isn't mentally tough when it counts in the postseason, Dalton included.  To me, it all falls back on coaching.

Would Brady win a playoff game or two here (playing his entire career under these deadbeats)?  Most likely.  A Super Bowl?  Not a chance.

As usual, I agree with Wyche's take. No I don't think Dalton is near Brady's level...particularly when it comes to killer instinct. Do I believe much of that comes from which franchise and coach they play for? You bet.

Do I believe Brady would win a playoff game in Cincy? Maybe. It'd take a QB of Brady's caliber and background to offset Marv. I'd bet on Dalton winning a SB with Belichick over Brady winning a SB with Marv any day though. Is there anyone who would disagree with that statement?

All things equal though Brady > pretty much everyone, of course.
