Tom Brady on WEEI: 'I certainly wish I could run faster' | Boston.com

never the less his mind is Cat like quick

Tom Brady is on the verge of becoming a 1,000 yard rusher. Other notable 1,000 yard rushers include Barry Sanders, Emmitt Smith and Walter Payton.

That's some elite company there.

Perhaps not ‘fast’... but he does have...




...well, Sammy knows.

It might be for the best. Not enough speed = fewer attempts to make a play = less likely to turn out like Jimmy Dream did

 

[Wheelman]

The dude sucks. Cut the man!

 

[RelocatedPatFan]

He's more of a bruiser/battering ram type runner. Take a look at his (running) conversion percentage on 2 yards or less.

Hes the John Riggins of QBs

Maybe the Redskins version, but certainly not the Jets version

11 more yards.

He was dangerously close to getting a delay of game penalty on that rushing TD against KC. Rushing? Not the right word.

Just 11 more yards. Do you think they'll stop the game and give him the game ball ala Manning/Brees???? Me neither...

he's closing in on #3 all time for rushing yards after age 40. Elite as ****.

Brady is the slowest 5 time super bowl champ in the history of the game. Nuff said.

 

[NormZauchin]

Strange remark from a guy who is about to become a 1,000 yard runner.

 

[Sicilian]

No way. I refuse to believe anything negative about Tom Brady. He's not a slow runner. He's actually SO FAST that he runs around the world plus a few feet every second, so all we see is that few feet.

His durability and longevity are due to his unconventional conditioning and strict diet.

Or,

he's too f'ing slow to ever save a play with his feet so he takes waaaay less abuse than almost every other QB who constantly runs.

I'll take either one.

Tom Brady runs so slow that he once ran into a player with CTE symptoms and cured him.

Tom Brady runs so slow that his stop watch measures tenths of a minute.
