Tom Brady’s doubts inevitable - BostonHerald.com
I was pissed when I first read it. He is correct thou. I just hope people give him time. He has not played a game since the Super Bowl. I hope Bradys competive nature doesnt cause him to get frustrated.I hope fans give him time to get through this.

Somehow I get the drift that Borges doesn't want Brady to fully come back from the injury. You're going on quite a tear about Brady's ability to plant his leg on the long throws tonight, huh?

Yawn.

Borges never ceases to amuse me with his absurd hyperbole and extrapolations.

Ya, my kids in bed sick. We were going to the beach. Kinda bored.

This quote officially makes the article ridiculous:

Um, Ron... were you not watching this play? Brady was completely blindsided by Geathers. Someone inform Mr. Borges that it is kind of hard to "slide step" when you don't know that someone is coming.

As wrong as Borges so often is, he is right about the comment regarding Brady making a slight step left/right/forward to avoid to avoid those hits. All of them as well the pressure moments.

I also agree that Brady likely has some mental obstacles to overcome. I have no doubt he will though.

on the one hit no slide step would have helped.

At which point during the game were you concerned about this? Brady was pressured twice. The first was on a full on blitz by Rivers in which Rivers was coming at him so fast that Brady didn't have time to side step and had to throw it away. The second was on an unexpected hit from Robert Geathers in which Brady did not see him because his eyes were downfield.

Now, with that said, I did see Brady on those two long throws. He was statue-esque on both of them. But this is a thing that all professional athletes, scratch that, HUMANS need to get through after suffering an injury. Brady had 8 attempts on Thursday night. He's going to see a lot more against a Redskins team with a damn good pass rush. I have a feeling he'll get the kinks worked out.

"he is right about the comment regarding Brady making a slight step left/right/forward to avoid to avoid those hits"

sure I have seen brady do this many times but I have also seen him get his share of hits too...it happened before it will happen again until we get a much larger sample we can't make any judgements as to wether his side step abilities have diminished and even when the sample gets bigger it still could be a bad conclusion unless it is glaringly obvious any number of factors could contribute.

as to shaking off the rust and fans giving him time he will get plenty of leeway from us and I don't think it will be as bad as Manning last year as he gets to use preseason and Manning only took a few weeks.

He's got plenty of time to get back to form, and he will get back to form by season's end. It could work out for the better as now we know this team can't peak too early again.
