Culpepper blew out his knee and was never the same again. Brady on the other hand, has always been above-average to great for a much longer time. Awful comparison, why not compare him to Manning, who has better YPA, has played longer, and is superior in nearly every statistical category. The only way you can compare Brady to god at this point is that neither will be relevant this Sunday.
i wasnt actually sayin culpepper was better lmao

i think you missed the point as well

ypa is not that meaningful of a stat. like with most all stats there would be amazin flaw in over estimatin it since theres no difference between a 5 yard slant pass to jerry rice that he takes 80 yards or a 60 yard bomb to someone. its all the same in the stat. theres no sense in over ratin it.
