This is something that so many people ignorant of NFL history - even recent history - forget.
There are those who deride Brady as a "game manager" who "only" averaged 25 TD's per year before 2007. Back then, 25 was a very impressive number. As you mention, he led the League in 2002 (though with 28, not 25). The almighty gunslinger Brett Favre averaged 26 per year over the same time frame. Is Favre a game manager too??
