I probably wouldn't say too many Michigan players 'went on to greatness' in the NFL, but even if they did I'm not sure what that has to do with Scott Frost being a better college football player than Tom Brady.



Scott Frost was a better RB than Tom Brady, no doubt about it but Brady was as superior as a passer as Frost was as a runner. Remember when the Husker fans almost ran the poor kid off campus for losing 2 games his first year as a starter? Yeah, me too. Anyway, Brady had more total yards and 34 TDs between rushing and receiving (excluding bowl games)...ok ok, i'll give you Frost as a better College player because he did have a few more TDs.

BTW, just for fun here are some stats to think about comparing the first 4 (as a starter) years of Favre's career to Brady's.

Favre:
W/L: 38-25
Comp/Att/%: 1342/2145 63%
TD/Int: 108/64
Rushes/Yds/TDs: 186/797 7

Brady:
W/L: 48-15
Comp/Att/%: 1242/2015 62%
TD/Int: 97/52
Rush/Yds/TDs: 163/244/2

Playoffs:
Farve:
W/L: 4/3
Comp/Att/%: 150/246 61%
TD/Int: 12/6
Rushes/Yds/TDs: 15/32/0

Brady:
W/L: 9-0
Comp/Att/%: 190/304
TD/Int: 11/3
Rushes/Yds/TDs: 27/43/2

I think it would be perfectly legitimate to say that Brady is obviously a better QB than Farve at the same points in their careers. If you pull out the "Stats aren't everything", Brady also has that "he just wins" thing going for him, he is a better playoff performer, and so far, doesn't seem to get hurt.

Anyway, go PISTONS!
