There is a Reason Why the Rest of the Patriots Don't High Five Tom Brady

Tom Brady is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL and will likely go down as one of the best to ever play the game. His resume is impressive to say the least; the kind of resume most players dream about yet come nowhere near making reality. In spite of his accomplishments and value to the team there is one thing he can't seem to get this season--a stinking high five.

There may actually be a decent reason for the lack of love--the current team sees no reason to worship the mighty Brady.

From Bleacher Report

His resume is great--that goes without saying--but the current players on the Patriots have not been witness to the greater glory. Yeah, they've been to the playoffs a lot, but so have a lot of teams. When you come to the Patriots though the expectation is to win the Super Bowl. The playoffs are just not as impressive to them as players on other teams.

On the current roster Brady is the only Patriot to have won a Super Bowl ring as a Patriot.

The Patriots last won the Big Game in 2004. They've been to it twice since than, but lost both times to the New York Giants.

We live in a world where the prevailing thought is "what have you done for me lately?" People want to know what you've done now; not a decade ago. Since its been so long since Brady has been able to win the big one the youngster's just aren't as impressed as they used to be.

So until he can do something impressive and lead them to the promise land they just don't feel like high-fiving him.
