I don't buy the "he wasn't ready for the big stage." The offense as a whole was outschemed and outexecuted. He was part of that for sure. But the entire offense to a man came up short. He takes the blame fully which says a lot about a 24-year old kid. He's started 35 games in McVay's offense. When Brady had started 35 games for Belichick it was week 2 of 2003.
