Earlier this week, former Dallas Cowboys and Denver Broncos defensive lineman DeMarcus Ware made headlines for predicting that the New England Patriots would go one-and-done in the postseason. His reasoning behind the statement was that potential playoff opponents like the Jacksonville Jaguars or Pittsburgh Steelers would have the defenses to put pressure on quarterback Tom Brady.
Brady, according to Ware, would “fold” under such pressure. This statement is by itself a rather ridiculous one considering that a) no quarterback stays the same when moved off the spot regularly, and b) Brady has proven in the past that he is able to overcome this more often than not.
