Kevin Millar is on dope

I nicked this Kevin Millar quote from the Sports Guy's site and couldn't resist:

"It's just like Tom Brady. If you had a fantasy football draft, he'd be your eighth, ninth, tenth quarterback picked. You'd want to take [Daunte] Culpepper, and you'll finish in third place. You want to take [Michael] Vick and Peyton Manning and all these guys. I may not hit a home run the rest of this year and we might win the World Series. And I'm a part of this team. Somehow, somewhere, I bring something."

Aside from the obvious insanity of comparing his own role on the Sox to Brady's on the Pats, I'd like Kevin Millar to tell me who, other than Culpepper, Vick and Manning (and they are all very arguable, especially Vick), he would pick for quarterback over Brady. Who?? McNabb? Big Ben? Maybe Favre if he comes equipped with a time machine? Kevin Millar, do you even watch football or just Pardon the Interruption?

Also, is this a standalone quote or was it part of some larger discussion, with him equating everyone on the Pats to someone on the Sox? As in, was he explaining who is the Tully Banta-Cain of the Sox? The Josh Miller? The Lonie Paxton? This is a exercise we need to fully explore. And we need the Tom Brady of the Boston Red Sox leading the way.
