Video: All of Brady's Pass Attempts vs KC: (Weak "fluttering" arm my ass)

[Deus Irae]

"short" of the anti-Christ?

So 7 months ago he played one of the best quarters ever for a QB under the highest stakes against the best NFC team and now his game is suffering because his mental capacity is not as sharp as it was???

I never said mental capacity. I am talking about "athletically processing" the offense. You people think if he still has a good arm he is fine. Why did Favre stop then? He had a cannon. What about Drew? There is obviously more to it and I have news for you. Tom Brady has nowhere to go but down, and it will happen fast. He is not going to play at a high level until he is 45.
Especially considering the success he has had with winning these last 2 SB's and cementing himself as the GOAT. It is only human nature that he will lighten up at a time when he really needs to work twice as hard just to keep skills on an even keel.

What does the processing?

Also, you say TB has nowhere to go but down...Great. Isnt that like me saying you are dying?

Sure, bold claim he can only go down. He has been playing at a high level...granted last game was not so sharp. But back to the point. You sound like a panicky whiner at best and at worst someone who is looking forward to TBs decline.

For the guys you're referencing, the decline wasn't sudden or without ample warning. Favre's production was all over the map for 6 solid years before he retired. He didn't go from consistent top-tier guy to over the hill in one season, he as bad in 2005, bad in 2006, good in 2007, bad in 2008, excellent in 2009, and terrible in 2010. He was somewhere between pedestrian and ****ty for 4 of his final 6 seasons in the NFL. Same with Bledsoe. In 2006, his last year in the league, he was basically the same quarterback he was in 2003. He retired before his body really fell apart, but the idea that there was a sudden loss of ability just isn't born out by his actual performance.

When the decline happens it happens fairly suddenly, I'll agree. But it doesn't happen without warning, overnight, or even in a single season. If you look at the 4-5 year trend that ends these guys' careers, it's a steady downward progression. That's how it happened with Favre, that's how it happened with Warren Moon, that's how it happened with Dan Marino to an admittedly much lesser extent. Peyton is the one major exception from a production perspective, but even in his case you could see the long-term degradation on the field as his body fell apart. Conversely, Brady has consistently put forth All Pro production for an uninterrupted decade-plus, and looks pretty much the same on the field as he did when he was 30. No exceptions. No 2005 Favres or 2008 Favres to warn that 2010 Favre was approaching.

We're in uncharted territory with Brady, so I dunno if precedent will hold for him or if he'll experience a sharp decline or something in between. Maybe he'll be the guy that proves the exception to the rule, really can't rule it out that in a career where everything he's done has been unprecedented how it falls apart might be as well. But to suggest that precedent sides with the claim that he will experience a dramatic single-season drop is just objectively false.

Have you actually followed Brady's career? Dosent sound it at all.

Holy cow. WTF is "athletically processing"??? hahahaha

This week has been a gem for new hawt take quotes. "Fluttering" "Athletically processing" hahaha

What about Favre? - The guy who retired, unretired, retired, unretired until Green Bay got sick of it and decided to move on to Rodgers? That guy? Favre admitted that he chased himself out of town.

What Drew? - The guy who got knocked out of a game by Moe Lewis and was replaced by the guy who you've justed admitted is the GOAT? That guy?

Anyways Brady's arm and "athletic processing" (hahahaha) are just fine.

@luuked - got a new hawt take term for your hawt take diary. "Athletic processing"

Great Googly Moogly.

 

[BradyFTW!]

Yeah, even as a Brady homer I'll admit there's a lot of uncertainty going forward just because there's no baseline for comparison anymore. However the end of his career happens, he'll be the first of one to go out that way.

But if there's one thing I can state with damn near certainty it's that when Brady goes, it'll be because his fanatical work ethic can no longer hold aging at bay, and it will absolutely not be because he stopped being the hardest worker in the sport.

Plus Favre was pedestrian-to-bad for 4 of his last 6 years in the NFL. This narrative that he suddenly went from great to bad out of nowhere and without warning is revisionist history that's totally contrary to what actually happened.

The only argument for this "All Pro to scrub overnight" narrative is Peyton, and even in his case that can be traced directly to the catastrophic neck injury that he suffered. If not for that, I'm confident that he would still be a solid NFL starting QB.

 

[Kontradiction]

The day you do some critical thinking is the first time I will ever care about anything you have to say. So if I were you I'd save my time.

I'll be here every week, bud.

 

[Bcc66duece]

Sure. They're fun to do but time consuming. Hopefully I can get them out earlier now that I've gotten through the technical hoops.

Any feedback on the layout?

One thing I would say that would make it better is if you narrated the video but idk if that's even possible and I know you're already taking alot of time to do them so no complaint from me. Thanks for the hard work.

Thanks. I don't know enough about football schemes to narrate them. I enjoy posting them because of the feedback from those who do know. I guess the hawt takes are enjoyable as well.

Finally, Simms uses some rationale. He's spot on..

I guarantee a sooner and longer than you.

Read my post again and try to comprehend.In fact read the whole thread, slowly. Favre and Drew obviously declined but they still had ARM STRENGTH. So the decline isn't just about ARM STRENGTH. Many QB's decline but still have. ARM STRENGTH. So to take it one step further, if you are looking for Brady's decline you won't see it in his ARM STRENGTH.

You would be wrong Shocker to everyone I am sure. "A sooner??"

We are all waiting for your definition of athletic processing

Can you please provide a clear, concise definition for "athletic processing"?

I just Googled it.

Athletically processing - the act of processing data or information muscularly as opposed to mentally.

Humans merely use their brain tissue to process thoughts.

Superhumans use their brain and muscle tissue to process gameday info.

Subhumans post hawt take bull **** thoughts on a fan forum and take a huge whiny dump in their shorts after a week one loss.

Number 13...brady forces it to Gronk..meanwhile cooks beat single coverage and is running free down the left seam

Number 13 actually goes to Cooks for a nice gain? Did you mean a different one? on 10 I think Cooks is wide open for a TD, Brady has free play and hits Gronk for apparent TD which gets overturned.. I noticed that one. I actually do think Cooks was open more than Brady looked to him.

Also, Danny was a beast in this game. We need him back.

Honestly, this is also one of those games where if a few receivers make a couple outstanding catches the numbers look totally different.. (Not drops at all, but a couple could have been outstanding catches), which honestly when they go your way the QB gets too much credit for.. I saw one I categorize like this each of Cooks, Hogan, and Burkhead. Again clearly not "drops" but not ridiculous if they had caught them. Again, when those happen the QB gets "credit" for it.. 4 of those in game can completely flip completion percentage, and possibly move the chains 2 extra times in a game where they essentially scored 30 points if you count the FG they should have kicked.

Also, watching this, one of my first thoughts was they totally past the eye test. Honestly the D does not suck in this game they win it. Also, if they had kicked the field goal, or converted the other 3rd and 4th down on the KC 40 nearing the end of the second half...

Gronk was somewhat mugged in this game too.

I think the Offense is going to end up being sick this year.

This sounds perfectly testable. Based on this definition, it would seem that the time period before delivery is mental processing and the release itself would be the "athletic processing". Ergo, you would expect Brady's throwing motion to be slower than it was earlier in his career.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't this precise comparison made during the broadcast? With results inconsistent with that hypothesis?

@supafly

Play 40--What was Cannon thinking on this sack by Houston? Terrible technique here. First I thought he may have just been confused, but if so, that's even worse.


I'm surprised Cannon's name hasn't been brought up more. He looked pre-Scar, not the #2 RT in the NFL.


I wrote about him in another thread but it's worth posting again imo bc of the nasty pass rushers we'll see all season. That talent, nuance, experience will coming at 61 all year.



Here Cannon has what is prob one of his worse snaps as a pro. Cannon is front loaded slightly to begin with buy leans foward more as he's ready to strike. He beats himself but Houston, unleashed, makes him look silly.

Houston gives him a feint single arm stab inside. Turns on the jets simultaneously with a left slap/swat. Dips and runs the loop to Brady. This is a nuanced vet who used speed, power and technique on this play.







Here Houston is using his stride length to set up Marcus. 3 measured steps followed by a 4th burst to the outside. At that point Cannons ass is pointing to the sideline instead of Brady. (OLinemens ass should always be pointed at the QB) Houston makes first contact but his chop isnt the winner here. It's his dip/bend that wins with Cannon out of position.





Both sacks were soft edges and lazy sets by Marcus. Front loaded and looking down. Not the quick set, balanced, aggressive Tackle weve seen as of late.


Again the point here is we'll be facing a ton of very good-great pass rushers this year and it won't get easier.

GO PATS

IN SCAR WE TRUST!
