Tom Brady -- Scruff vs. Smooth ... Who'd You Rather?

It's the showdown of the stubble!

Here's 37-year-old Patriots' QB Tom Brady with his freshly sprouted face fur during a press conference earlier today (left) and the same man-mug without the whiskers earlier this year (right).

FYI -- When Brady sported the bearded look back in 2010, the Pats went 14-2 and Brady was selected as an All-Pro.
