Whatever, Mo. I've said there have been issues with Brady for awhile. Hell, his personal QB Coach (Tom Martinez) said that there was something off with Brady not that long ago.
I know you've said it, and I take that for what it's worth. Martinez comments were when he was coming off dealing with the bone bruise.
Your excuse for Brady throwing a ball at the ankles of receivers is wanting. It's much easier to tip a ball at the line that has no arc than it is to tip one that has arc.
LOL and when it has arc he's accused of putting too much air under it...
Brady should be hitting his receivers in stride. Not throwing at their ankles so it's virtually impossible to not be off-balance and then end up with very little if any YAC..
If they were open or had much seperation he would. That hasn't been the case consistently this season. Part of Gronk's and Welker's skillsets are catch radius. It's an anomoly when they don't make a catch and it has come to be an expectation that they will. They will both tell you it's the receiver's job on this team to catch balls in their vacinity as it is to see coverage as their QB does and to make plays for him when he targets them. I recall listening to Aikman one day opine about how QB's too often take the blame for mistakes their receivers make, and that when guys like Manning and Brady (or other elite QB's) are the QB's you can almost guarantee they were not at fault because both are particularly accurate. I know the broadcast teams often blather about what the target should have been, but then they don't generally know what the route should have precisely entailed - particularly here where post snap sight adjustments and precision timing are both part of the equation.
The idea that catching balls thrown at your ankles is somekind of "skillset" is just laughable.
