Let’s look at them one at a time: Myth 1: He wins more, with less. The facts on Tom Brady’s career shatter them. And it’s time to break the myths that QBs are the key to winning. After the Pats started 3-0, Scott Van Pelt profoundly stated that it didn’t seem to matter who NE started at QB, that they’d still win. Siemian and Oswieler have won games in Denver.
