Every team passed on Tom Brady. A couple of times in fact.

Except Houston 😂

[@abc_12333]

But the 49ers passed on Brady 3 TIMES! No excuse for that. Brady was the 49ers FIRST CHOICE. His favorite team.

[@nhd6128]

​@abc_12333 he was a backup in College & had no hype coming out of the draft.. to say they messed up by not drafting him is pure r*t4rdation. If it was so obvious, why did every team (including the Patriots) paas on him 5 times? Thats all hindsight.

[@draneym2003]

And it's not enough for Brady to have a multi decade HOF career...he needs to go out of his way to remind everyone of how he was disrespected and how he overcame his 6th round status. Like, it's ancient history already. Like his whole "nobody believed in us" routine. Uh, everybody believed in you. So fragile.

To be fair, I don't think Rodgers has the same level of success in the nfl if he goes to the 49ers. The packers sitting him behind Favre for a few years was key in his development. Same thing with Mahomes, people underestimate how much the year behind Alex Smith helped him.

The Bears passed on Patrick Mahomes for Mitchell Tribisky. TRAGIC

[@davidm.2141]

So did the 49ers … they took DT Solomon Thomas with their 3rd pick. This was after a season of bitter QB controversy that would lead to courageous incoming head coach Mike Shanahan Jr to dump their QB1 immediately. They scouted Mahomes and met with him and passed. Which was ultimately best for PM, b/c Reid already had a plan to sit him and let him learn before throwing him into the grinder b4 he was ready.

​@@davidm.2141Kyle

[@Matt-the-Wise]

​​@@davidm.2141Well, 75% of Mahomes success hinges on having the greatest TE, fastest WR (at first), and a top 5 O line/defense, but most of all the unwavering support of the league and refs. Just the recalled interceptions from flags proves that. Mahomes has had FIFTY SIX interceptions called back due to penalty over the last five seasons, with second place Josh Allen only having SIX, and third place Kirk Cousins only having THREE. Adding up every interception called back from a penalty by every other NFL QB over that same time, you still don't get 56, Mahomes has more than everyone else combined. If you gave the recalled interception and automatic roughing or late hit for touching him dynamic that refs give Mahomes to Trubisky, he'd be unstoppable too. Any NFL QB would be, it's like letting one guy take PA drugs but not anyone else.

Let's be real. No one knows what any of these players could or will be. What they do know is that they take analytics, stats, and builds to determine there potential physically. Honestly I don't see alot of these teams testing "Mental" capabilities with these players. It's just all about how physically gifted you are, and between the 3 QBs who won 4 or more SBs not a single one of them was a hugely athletic guy. Just tall, or stocky, or smart, and playbook centric QBs. Teams need to evolve beyond athletics with QBs.
