I was comparing Rex's performance in his Super Bowl, to Brady's last
appearance. Not Brady's career. They both lost the games in question, which
is the only stat of concern.

Which is, of course, utter nonsense.  The article once again misused
statistics to make a comparison which was obviously insane.  If you look at
Grossman's performance and Brady's in their respective Super Bowls the
differences are obvious.  Brady wasn't perfect and he didn't like being hit
but it didn't rattled him anywhere near to the extent it did Grossman.  I
would say it definitely did in Grossman's case and it wasn't the only time.
There's no statistic for that.

Support Grossman - fine.  You can make an argument for that and certainly
that has been done repeatedly here.  Compare him to Tom Brady like the
author here did, bad offensive line or not, and I think you will hear a lot
of scoffing.
