Brady consults Tom Martinez about poor AFCC

[FalconHeavy]

No wonder he is the best QB of his era and arguably the best ever !

When you are this focused and not afraid to take a look at fundamentals that people take for granted at this stage of his career, you normally become the best in business

doing what you like is freedom and liking what you do is happiness. TFB obviously likes what he is doing :rocker:

I don't think this means much for Brady's game, but I'm glad to hear that Martinez is well enough to give advice. From what I remember his family saying a few months ago, his death was imminent.

That was before his heart pacemaker was corrected. Read the article.

He is still waiting for a liver transplant.

Added Brady's father, Tom Sr.: "Tom is Tommy's security blanket, helping him succeed every step of the way.

Too many Toms! :lol2:

I actually don't understand how Martinez would be more insightful than the coaches that see brady every day at practice and that analyze game tape in detail

Good points to bring up. There are a few things I can think of:

Martinez knows Brady inside out- he watched Brady grow up, so he knows exactly what Brady can do and can't do.

Martinez has often been referred to as the "quarterback whisperer" which is to say that he is extremely gifted in identifying and isolating what the mechanical problems are.

The other thing is that he is an outsider, so there's never any pressure and he won't get fired for making the wrong diagnosis (not that he would ever make one) but that there's no pressure on him to say the right things or to be a sycophant. Sometimes it's good to have someone with an outside perspective who has no stake or whose decision may be affected by the weight of the organization.

A lot of conjectures here, but just some thoughts. Maybe someone knows better.

Wow, never heard this one before. Brady plays better when being pressured! Hopefully the Giants will do a better job of pressuring Brady like they did in Super Bowl XLII.

Be thankful participation doesn't require IQ testing.

Let's dumb it down....

The point is when he's fluid in the pocket, he steps into his throws and is lights out.

Sunday, he had so much time, some of the throws looked like they were off the back foot.

I don't understand why the Patriots have not thought about hiring this guy as the QB coach. When Brady has issues, he goes to him, not O'Brien or whoever they have on staff as the QB coach.

I am willing to bet dollars to donuts they have thought about hiring him.

They may have even done more than just thought about it and offered the guy a job.

He might not want the job responsiblities.

He might not want to move to NE.

Brady may like the idea he has an independent mentor who can freely contridict BB or the OC with out worrying about internal politics of not everyone being on the same page.

BB might like the idea that Brady is getting truely independent analysis.

I don't understand why the Patriots have not thought about hiring this guy as the QB coach. When Brady has issues, he goes to him, not O'Brien or whoever they have on staff as the QB coach.

Because he has no interest in NFL coaching, can make a boat load more money doing what he currently does with a minimal time investment and is very sick.

Other than that, I'm sure he'd love to be Tom Brady's QB coach

At least they're not all called Bruce.
