His performance this season, in a vacuum, was as good as its been other than perhaps 2007 & 2011.
Unfortunately, it wasn't in a vacuum, and he had to deal with a weak OL, inexperienced wide receivers, no production at TE, and no third down back for half of the season.
I'd expect his production to be better next year when the sum of the parts around him is greater. And healthier.
This basically.
Brady started 2013 without:
A. Hernandez
W. Welker
R. Gronkowski
B. Lloyd
D. Woodhead
That's 338 receptions for 3,984 yards and 29 touchdowns.
In week 1 he lost Danny Amendola, who was signed to replace Welkers production and Shane Vereen, who took over for Woodhead.
Gronkowski left the field faster than he returned due to the knee injury. The 3 rookies couldn't stay on the field to save their lives either.
2013 was an incredible offensive success compared to what it should have been, and if anything, it was maybe one of Brady's BEST seasons i've seen.
Brady, without a doubt, will be STATISTICALLY better in 2014 unless we get derailed by injuries in the same fashion we did this year, which I don't see happening.
Gronkowski will be healthy to start the season, the 3 rookies will have a year of experience under their belts and will be healthy. Shane Vereen will be healthy.
The offensive line will have HOPEFULLY been upgraded, because in addition to all the woes at the skill positions in 2013, the interior OL played one of the worst seasons i've seen recent history for us.
And my final note, unless we're missing something with Hooman or Mulligan, the TE position should receive an upgrade which should help the deep-intermediate middle field passing game.
I highly doubt Brady hits some magic wall entering this season that degrades his play SO severely that he reverts back to 2002 levels. He will look as great as he always does, and unless things go horribly wrong our offense will be 150% better than it was last season.
