Tom Brady and Peyton Manning had different paths to greatness. Manning was a first-round pick who started right away as a rookie. Brady was a sixth-round pick who had to sit and develop.
Both sat down with ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith recently and discussed their views on how young quarterbacks should be developed.
Brady said he felt that taking time to sit and learn the game is valuable, and that he believes the game is being dumbed down to accommodate rookies who are playing early.
Smith asked Manning for his thoughts on Brady’s comments.
