When people talk about who's been the best quarterback in the NFL this season, the conversation usually starts with someone like Tom Brady, unless of course you're having that conversation with Byron Maxwell, in which case, the conversation will likely go completely off the rails.
During a session with the media this week, Maxwell was asked if he thought Tom Brady was the best quarterback in the NFL.
Apparently, Maxwell hasn't watched much football this year, or in any year.
On one hand, the answer's not completely crazy because no one wants to offend their teammate. On the other hand though, Bradford probably wouldn't be offended if one of his teammates said that a two-time NFL MVP was better than him. As a matter of fact, if Bradford was asked who was better, I'm guessing he wouldn't say Bradford.
Despite Maxwell's belief that Bradford's better, the Eagles won't be underestimating Brady on Sunday. Linebacker Connor Barwin says that Philadelphia is going to have to be almost perfect to stop Brady and the Patriots offense.
"You gotta be close to perfect. You gotta be 11 guys doing exactly your job," Barwin said,via CSNPhilly.com. "You gotta hold your defenses."
Eagles safety Walter Thurmond is concerned about Brady exploiting bad matchups.
"The hardest part about facing Tom Brady is being able to have enough guys that can cover on his matchups," Thurmond said. "He's a guy who relies on his matchups, especially when playing man coverage and whatever is the favorable matchup to where he thinks his guy is going to win."
Anyway, if Maxwell doesn't think Brady is the best, he might after Sunday. The Patriots quarterback has a favorable matchup going up against an Eagles defense that's given up 45 points in two consecutive games.
The Eagles are on a three-game losing streak, which they'll need to end soon if they're going to win the Super Bowl, something that Maxwell guaranteed they would do back in May.
