Went with Brady on this one, simply because he has 3 championships. Enough said

Both of these guys gave you everything you want from an offensive and defensive leader, respectively, in the regular season. Only one of them brought his A-game in the postseason, though. P-Willis.

Willis is an animal. He's absolutely everywhere on the field, does everything you need and more from a middle linebacker, he's like Ray Lewis in his prime right now. Brady had an excellent season to be sure, but so did Willis, and Willis wasn't overshadowed by his peers this year. I lean toward the linebacker, so deal with it.
