That's a very disappointing article. Football Outsiders is usually better than this.
I think he's good as any when he has capable WRs who are on the same page with him. I recall multiple times when he hit the likes of Branch and Moss with bombs in stride. Brady can get the ball out there accurately with someone to catch it.Disagree with the entire premise. Brady has NEVER been a good deep ball or touch passer.
Interesting. Before last year I was talking about his decline, and got jumped on.
Let's hope the D, running game, and effective red zone targets give Brady the sort of cushion Elway had at the end.
Yeah, it's definitely flawed and they could have expanded it much more. I do agree with them that some of Brady's decisions were poor last season, but I don't think you can get to the conclusion that he's in decline just yet because of them. Proper mechanics are pretty difficult to maintain for a pocket passer when said pocket passer can't step up into the pocket because the center and RG are getting bulldozed.
Branch in his prime did get some decent separation.I think he's good as any when he has capable WRs who are on the same page with him. I recall multiple times when he hit the likes of Branch and Moss with bombs in stride. Brady can get the ball out there accurately with someone to catch it.
...If you're gonna throw a low percentage throw then at least trust the receiver to stop an INT. On the other hand, it could be that he doesn't think any of his smurfs can do that.
I think Kontra covered it pretty well
If you do a film study of Brady on a team with an injury debilitated under-performing OL, with an injury slowed Amendola, without Gronkowski, not to mention the lack of an alternative pass cathching TE option, without a deep threat WR, and with Defenses keying on Edelman...
Guess what?
The "evidence" is going to suggest that Brady is on a decline
Now, the fact is at his age he may in fact BE on the decline. But you can't draw any real conclusions based on all the above circumstance
