Brady’s best throws?

Making a small sub-discussion here. Taking game situation/context into account, has there ever been a worse throw than this? Already a 55-yard field with 19 seconds left in NFCCG. Not a sure kick, but makeable.

 
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

Thank you for giving me an excuse to post this Troy Brown video. The Miami catch is at the end.

 
How is it possible that you do not have one single Troy Brown pass on that list???????????????????????????????????????
Quite frankly, those weren’t any of my personal favorite passes. Also, I thought it was cheating since I already listed in my intro, because it would’ve been the ‘03 MIA OT or the 4th SB 36 pass to get NE in field goal range. Lastly, the ones I listed were game/ SB winners that required supreme touch under immense pressure. Just my opinion, but I see what you mean.
 
One of my all time favorites was the touch pass to Thompkins in the EZ to win the game against the Saints with like 13 seconds left on ther clock.
 
2007 Game winner vs Ravens

2014 Game winning touchdown vs the Ravens, Divisional Playoff

Pass to Gronk vs Rams on go ahead drive in SB53

Deep dart touchdown throw vs Dolphins in 2018 during loss in Miami
 
Not to bump an old-ish thread....but I will

Forgot where I saw the video (youtube somewhere) but I guess on Brady's weekly call in show with EEI Greg Hill asked him about his best throws.

I only remember a handful of reactions, but

1. When asked about the throw to Tompkins to win it against NO, he said something to the effect of "that wasn't a good throw, that was bad defense".

2. On the winner to LaFell against BAL in 2014 it was "mehhhh".

3. The 73 yarder to Troy in OT in MIA was "a great throw. Definitely in the top 10"

4. 4th and 12 to Gronk in the AFCCG

5. He liked the scramble-toss-TD to Tate against the Vikings.

6. A 7 yarder from his ass to Patrick Pass against CIN.

It was pretty cool to listen to him recap his favorites (especially the specific details he was able to recall). He was very candid and seemed genuinely excited by the topic. It wasn't the standard canned, polished, modest Brady. The competitive ****y Brady snuck out a little bit mentioning the Tompkins throw was just bad D, and when they mentioned the Gronk 4th down throw against the Broncos in the AFCCG he said "yea that was a great throw".
