Is it better for rookie quarterbacks to sit or play right away? Tom Brady, widely regarded as the greatest quarterback of all time, feels that the former is the best route for a promising young quarterback.
Brady, who spent just over a year watching Drew Bledsoe before taking the reins of the Patriots offense back in 2001, alluded to Jordan Love when discussing the benefits of sitting before playing. It also helped, Brady noted, that Love got a front-row seat to watch one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time do his thing before getting his chance to lead the Packers offense.
“He had Aaron Rodgers to watch,” Brady said on “The Herd with Colin Cowherd.” “That’s the best type of training, in my opinion. Watch someone else do it at a very high level, and then try to emulate them with your own personality.
“Maybe a little bit of a (misconception) with the draft is that these players can come in and all of a sudden become this great, professional player before they’ve really had the training and the development.”
It’s hard to argue with Brady’s take given the success Love had last year, his full season as Green Bay’s starting quarterback. He threw a whopping 32 touchdowns against just 11 picks while leading the Packers to a surprising playoff berth.
Love upped the ante in the playoffs, compiling a near-perfect passer rating while leading Green Bay to a shocking upset over the Cowboys in the wild-card round.
