Brady’s best throws?

Patjew · Aug 12, 2019

I love his TD throw to Givens in SB39 vs the Eagles. Such a pretty throw while everyone seems to be moving the wrong way.

He didn’t alligator arm it. He just didn’t jump for it. Even considering the fact that he made those types of acrobatic catches seem routine throughout his career, that would have been a tough one. He was going full stride downfield and it was double coverage. It would have been difficult if not damn near impossible for him to jump backwards.

Eh....that would've been a tough catch for any receiver to make. Pats should've never let it come down to that though. When you think of it, the three SB losses have ended with a hope and prayer hail mary.

The most important throw imo was 3rd and 14 to Edelman in SB 49. If they fail to convert, BB has one heck of a decision to make.

He wouldn’t need to jump backwards. And it doesn’t matter because he just dropped it. Check out the other angles as it hits his hands.

That’s not alligator arm-ing it, though, which is what you were accusing him of doing. And yes, he would have needed to jump backwards just to get his body in position to high point that ball. He didn’t do it there and the ball still hit him in the hands.

Yeah, I agree that was his best throw!

Holy crap, does BSPN know about this video?

Everything considered? The throw in my sig. If we are only considering the beauty of the throw, then it would be the one to Lafell in the 2014 Divisional. Another one that I never see anyone talking about is the game winner to Gaffney against the Ravens in 2007. That was a laser to the back corner of the end zone.

The first throw that came to mind was Edelman 3rd and 14. There's a combination of legitimate desperation and supreme poise in that play, the way he sprints into it and throws it with everything he's ever had and yet he hits him dead center. That throw produces a flood of memories every time I see it.

Yeah I still think he could’ve been more aggressive catching the ball with putting his arms up. You can see him slow down for the ball and it still went over his head. I think he just mistimed it/didn’t think the ball would actually get there.

Was it 2016 he had that last second dart to Mitchell against the 49ers? Was a hell of a play on both ends of I remember correctly.

Edit:

Right around 2:50. That throw was perfectly placed to not hit the dude in coverage, and Malcolm noticed it just at the right time.

We must have a young board. I’m bummed no one brought up the 82 yard TD to Troy Brown in overtime in 2003 at Miami to break the curse, and it completely changed our season and started the record breaking streak. We hadn’t won in Miami since 97.

A perfect long spiral to brown who was double covered

I'll see if I can find a video but for me it was a TD pass to Gronk in PITT in 2010 (Gronk's 1st of 3 TDs that game).

He had a crazy-small window to make the play and it was perfect.

One that was an incompletion....his deep pass to Moss at the end of SB 42.

brdmaverick · Aug 12, 2019

In 2005 against Tampa Bay Brady made a crazy good throw while replays showed he was getting facemasked mid throw (his helmet twisted around so he wouldn't even see).

Worth the watch. So many you just forget them all. Warning this video dispels the dink and dunk notion. The one beating Antonio Smith from the Steelers still warms my heart.

Ice_Ice_Brady · Aug 12, 2019

WHICH fourth down to Gronk against The Broncos in the AFCCG?

NG Pats Fan · Aug 12, 2019

I think his velocity was at its peak around 06-07. Man some of those throws were lazors!

Touchdown pass to Danny Woodhead in Super Bowl XLVI.

Patriot Missile · Aug 12, 2019

As mentioned with video on first page. That Brady to Moss in triple coverage was something special. To that point I always wondered what Brady could do with a special receiver that Montana had and he more than exceeded my expectations and then some. That was the start to something magical.

So many great plays and clutch throws we’ve been privileged to witness over the years.

Speaking of that SB, I still don’t know how the hell Eli got that TD pass to Cruz in between Ihedegbo & Mayo. Perfect pass.

brdmaverick · Aug 12, 2019

Anyone remember the third down pass he completed while on his rear end against Cincy in 2004

Great video. Very surprised to see how many plays featured Brandin Cooks.

What’s up peeps? I saw an interesting comment on Bleacher Report regarding what Brady thought his best throws of his career were. Not sure how accurate this is, but it seems as though he listed throws to Brown vs MIA in OT 2003 & 4th down to Gronk in the 2015 AFCCG vs DEN. What do you think his best throws are?

A few of mine are:

-SB 51 OT: 2nd & 4 to Amendola
-SB 51 4th Q: 3rd & 10 to Hogan (while in end zone)

-2015 AFCCG to Gronk on 4th down (Both)
- 4th Qt AFCCG vs Jags 3rd & 18 to Amendola
- 2014 Divisional vs Ravens to LaFell
-2004 AFCCG vs PIT to Branch
- 2013 vs NO to Tompkins with seconds on clock
-2017 vs HOU to Cooks with seconds on clock

How is it possible that you do not have one single Troy Brown pass on that list???????????????????????????????????????
