Take a look at this video of the end of Brady's scramble to find White on the sideline. Play it in slow motion or you will miss something small yet crucial:
Did you see what Brady did? Just before the throw he very quickly swivelled his head to see if anyone was on his tail and prepared to strip the ball if he threw it. You really need slow motion to see it in this video.
The commentator pointed this out during the game otherwise I would never have noticed it.
That's the difference between a good QB and a great one right there.
(I had mentioned this on some thread here previously but didn't have access to the video).
Full analysis of the whole play here (but they don't mention the head swivel):
On the run: Tom Brady, James White and third-and-9
