I have to disagree, here, Upstater.
Watch around 3:33 of that video. Both Welker and Moss are in the same line of sight. At that very moment, from the secondary camera angle, Brady is in the windup motion and you can see his eyes actually lock onto Welker. He's actually in the BEGINNING of his throwing motion when he CHANGES his shoulder angle towards Moss. I've replayed that one second 10 times this morning.
It's one incredible play, and there was some GREAT camera work and analysis by NFL.com on this.
What happens between 3:33 and 3:34 of that video is what separates Tom Brady from every other QB on the face of this earth.
Thanks. I wish I could see it on a bigger screen. That's wild to think he actually changed his target in midthrow and the ball was still on. I have no doubt that the CB begins biting on Welker while the ball is still in Brady's hand, but I'm just flabbergasted that Brady was able to make that adjustment in the middle of his throw. That's exactly why I assumed that he didn't.
