Yeah, Brady usually has one or two ugly stinkers a year.This is going to be an unpopular article with a lot of people here, but it has a lot of truth to it. Brady DIDN'T look dialed in during the second half last Sunday. At times, he looked absolutely baffled. I don't hesitate to say that if a couple of those throws are more on than they were, this is a very different game. Oh well. Every quarterback is capable of putting up a stinker once or twice a year.
Brady has definitely been a softer all around player since 2007. We could come up with a million different reasons why, but the fact of the matter is, he's just not that same rugged play-maker anymore. I know, many of you will respond with a million statistics contradicting this statement but I think these stats do not reflect the change in intangibles. I can't remember the last time, Brady led a comeback. Actually, I can't even remember the last time Brady took a decent hit and didnt fumble the ball. He has a way to go, to both catch up to Manning or even look like he deserves his new salary.
The last time he led a comeback was Week 1, 2009 vs. Buffalo.

Moss had beaten Antonio Cromartie and the safety help hadn't arrived yet. But Brady's pass went over Moss' head and bounced out of bounds.
On the next Patriots' drive, Brady again looked for Moss on the right side and - after locking in - threw a pass that Cromartie tipped and Brodney Poole picked off. Wes Welker was running alone down the middle of the field on that play.
"As a quarterback – before the game, you talk about coverages and you say, 'OK, if it’s this coverage, this is where I’m going to throw the ball. If this is the matchup we get, this is where I’m going to throw the ball.' So then if you get the matchup, throw it, and it's not complete, the coach may say, 'Why didn't we throw the other side?' And you'll say, 'Because we talked two hours before the game that this is where we want to throw.' "
Indeed.....
Curran: Brady's not quite dialed in yet
That should be the end of the playcalling complaints, right there.

Hmm. Not seeing how this statement is at all dispositive with respect to that debate.
