No, Brady is not a good pocket passer anymore:+
John Parolin - ESPN : Brady has a 31.8 completion percentage on throws deeper than 10 yards downfield, worst in the league and one of three quarterbacks below 40 percent.
Sam Monson PFF: It isn't all about protection, though -- Brady's passer rating on 95 unpressured dropbacks this season is just 83.0, and neither of his interceptions came under duress.
I will try to source another study I just read that showed that there is little difference between unpressured QB ratings between QBs who are consistently under duress and those that aren't.
I love Brady guys. I just know what I'm seeing. I've seen it before in Bird, Rice, and every other one of my sports heroes growing up. They just suddenly can't do it anymore, and looking back on it, it's as if it happened over night. Sad, yes, but true.
On a personal note: at 34 I could still dunk. At 35 I couldn't. I was still in decent shape, nothing much changed physically, I just couldn't do it anymore. Now, I'm only a few years older than Brady, and I can barely get rim. Still in shape. What happened? I got old.
Some people will only accept Brady's physical degradation as a possibility once all other possibilities are completely exhausted
