Thumbs down Is Brady's arm too strong? Total speculation and a wild guess

God forgive me for starting this thread and I deserve to be punished.

However we have all noticed that Brady has been over throwing and he seems to throwing rockets with little touch. The pass to Endelman in the Jets game is an example but that is one of many that I recall.

Now he had last year to rehab and probably worked on his upper body while the knee was immobile. Could he be just too strong this year in the upper body and has to learn how to throw with the stronger arm?

Just a thought and an observation. Now remember the rules - no swearing and no name calling. Discuss or flame but be gentle!

BTw, I already rated this thread one star.

Double whammy.

He not only throws too hard, but he is throwing off this back foot. Everyone know that when you step into your throws you lose that wonderful high-flying trajectory and the throw flattens out.

You may have given yourself one star, but in order to do this thread true justice, we need a voting system that doesn't require you to give at least one star.

Are there negative stars? Can we rate it 3 or 4 black holes?

Hm, that could be a factor indeed.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was.

i think itsjust a case of a player who has sat out 1 full season -injury or no injury and that too a QB. Both palmer and rivers played out their season till the end before getting injured so their battle was physical but they were never out of the game for 16 full games.

Really over analysis here...

#1 - he doesn't throw HARDER than before the injury and with the passage of time
#2 - it never hampered him in the past
#3 - Elway had a stronger arm... still won a few games in the league

Brady was sailing lots of medium and deep throws early on in his career. Him sailing throws now is similar. It's not about arm strength being too strong, it's about not having ideal form/mechanics. Look at the way he throws now. Half the time he's throwing almost upright with little bend in the legs.

I think Brady just needs to relax and his body will relax too. It's just gonna take time.
