Yep. It looks better every week. It is good to have the GOAT as your QB with all those studs around him. What a pleasure to watch him still perform at age 43 at this level. I love that Arians has him airing it out.
Did you have to put down the tissues and hand cream for a second? You stated that Tampa's offense was only going to improve. I stated unless the 43 year old qb, who has had nagging injuries the past 3 or 4 years developed those same injuries again this year. And you immediately attacked me. Do you have to go get another purple pill?
Ehh, don't really agree with the last sentence. I don't think at 43 they should be relying so heavily on his arm. I don't trust that LT at all... he SUCKS! And with Fournette, they really should put a bit more emphasis on the run game.
Brady and Evans have the fade in the endzone down. Vs Denver, Bradys long ball down the right sideline to Howard was the exact same play to Godwin in game 1 vs the Saints.
Him and Wirfs are going to be studs
You can't run on Denver. That is why the game plan was so pass heavy. They doubled Evans which left one-on-one everywhere else so it was easy pickings for Brady for the most part. His arm looks really good. I doubt he gets fatigue later. It has occurred to me recently that perhaps the struggles we thought he was having the last 2 years in NE due to age was more to do with the team and his lack of confidence in the skill guys especially (except for Edelman) which is why he looked so different. I have not seen him with this type of command and confidence in the pocket since 2017 when he won league MVP.
He had multiple sweet throws - that one to Howard down the sideline, the bomb to Miller that dropped right into this hands (very Wilson like), the one down the sideline to Godwin, and of course the picture perfect fade to Evans. I am sure I am missing others but those were the ones that stood out to me the most.
Respect, am. My comment was not specific to the DEN game.
This is what Brady signed up for. Arians is not going to be a run heavy, manage the offense type of coach. I don't think that is what Brady wants either which is why he signed there with all those weapons. Time will tell if he can last the season but Tom throwing it 30+ times a game is the expectation in that offense.
Dude, I'm not saying it has to be a run heavy offense. But asking a 43 year old to drop back 30+ times every game behind an average at best OL won't hold up. And if that's the expectation, as you've stated, then TB is setting themselves up for failure, IMO. It's not a slight against Brady. It just isn't sound football judgement. And if you have a back like Fournette, use him whenever there is a strong possibility of running the football. That's all I'm saying.
You have lost me. They did run the ball a ton last week vs Carolina especially in the second half. Both Jones and Fournette had big games with Fournette icing the game on a big run. As I stated before, you can't run on Denver which is why we didn't see much of it and why the pass game was so lethal because you can throw on them. That was the best game plan. Also, Denver does have a pretty stout pass rush even without Miler so I do think you have to look at the Denver game a bit differently but the point remains, Arians offense is a pass the ball offense. That is what they are going to do. It is up to Brady to play smart from the pocket and avoid the hits which he did a ton of yesterday while also taking some hits.
I'm done. Forget I said anything.
I am not sure Brees is going to make it as the starter this whole season. He looks awful. I agree that Brady will pass him.
If Brady is bothered by trailing Brees, he’s not the player I thought he was. That is so trivial if in fact he thinks about that
