Anyone think Brady could challenge PayMeATon's 49 TDs?

[NovaScotiaPatsFan]

Heh, just kidding, but how many TDs could Tom end up with this year with this receiving corps?

 

[MrBigglesWorth]

Don't care. Rather he get a 4th superbowl ring

Just enough to win the Super Bowl. Anymore would be a waste of his arm for next year.

It won't happen, simply because Tom isn't the stat whore that Peyton is. I'm thinking of a 4,000 yard, 32 TD, 12 Int year for Tom, and a 14-2 record. I think Tom's completion percentage will be almost 70% this year.

Off topic, I actually still think Moss won't have a monster year because Tom will still spread the ball around so much.

And that would be a great strategy. Keep the injury probabilty much lower, spread the wealth to other capable talents, and without a doubt keep secondaries befuddled, dazed, and confused.

in less than ten characters, "no"

 

[brady199]

If he played in a dome in nov. and dec. and he or BB cared about it he could challenge it. maybe not catch it or beat it though

Ditto.

 

[hallfamebrady]

No. The Pats game plan changes from game to game. What we do this week is not indictative of next week.

Plus, the Pats like to pound it in close where half of Peyton's TD's were within 5 yards.

 

[Nordberg]

Could, but won't.....its not the way the Pats attack teams.

If the Pats are up fairly big late in games...unless it's third down, Brady will stick with the run. Manning will audible into a pass even if they are blowing out a team.

 

[PYPER]

The only way to get to 49 TD's is to play for a team with

1) a very porous defense

and/or

2) a team that likes to run the score up.



Manning never would have reached it if he played for Belichick. There were multiple games where Manning threw 5-6 TD's including TD passes late in the game with 20 + point leads.

Historically, the Patriots don't run up the score on anybody. Once they get a big lead, they keep the game on the ground.

 

[brdmaverick]

He'll break 30 for the first time in his career.

 

[BionicPatriot]

He'll definantly break 30 unless we stay conservative. But 49? People, one game does not make this offense THAT good. Certainly this will ebt eh ebst fofense but thats a tad to optimistic.

 

[wdkantro2]

Brady will never do it because they ran the ball all through the 4th quarter. The Colts would keep throwing instead of giving it to Evans and Morris to kill the clock.

Come to think of it, because of how the Colts keep scoring when the games already in hand, it means a Pats victory of 38-14 is a lot more impressive than a Colts 38-14 because the Pats got that lead through the first 3 quarters without running up the score.

His TD count is really not dependent on his receivers so much as his O-Line. Also, NE is about as balanced as a team can get on offense. Brady wouldn't have any trouble throwing for 49, if the situation(s) called for it.

LOL, Pats were up 31-14, with 3 minutes to play, and Brady threw the ball to Moss from the Jet 14.

 

[FirstAndGoal]

God, I hope he doesn't throw for 49... This is a ball control offense and if he's throwing for 49, the defense sucks. The Pats always like to control the clock with a lead.

Haha, the year Peyton broke the td record, he sat out more than the equivalent of 1 game because the games were no longer close.

Plus, the Colt's have long been mediocre at the short yardage run game(think Edge getting stuffed on 4th and goal against the pats in 03), which partly explains why so many of Peyton's td passes were within 5 yards.

 

[dhamz]

No chance.

You need to play at the highest level pretty much every week and a lot of factors to come together perfectly to throw 50 tds. Even then, the only reason Peyton broke Marino's TD record was because it became an organizational goal with play calling geared to getting him TD passes. That simply isn't going to happen on other teams.
