Long ball accuracy hasn't been one of Brady's strengths.
In 2016 brady completed the deep ball at a higher rate than Any qb in the NFL

Interesting that Butler is "head and shoulders" above the other secondary guys, especially with all the buzz Gilmore got. I suppose the buzz was all about his athleticism (how many damn times are we going to see "smooth" and his name in the same sentence?), not his play.
With Cooks' quickness and explosiveness, I thought from the moment they got him that he'd be a hell of a slot guy. I think I got downvoted a few times when I said that because of fans wanting Cooks to be Moss. A little quick guy like Cooks could be brilliant as an inside receiver. Not as sexy as going for that home run ball, but more fundamentally sound. Cooks can absolutely be a huge weapon in moving the chains, and can still be let free to chase the deep ball from time to time if defenses get complacent. Besides, we have Hogan for the deep routes and he's good enough, and Mitchell's a good up and comer for that role too, that gives us the freedom to move Cooks around in a number of different roles depending on what defenses give us. Good thinking Bill.I found this interesting:
They seem to be using him in the slot more often than not along with edeleman.

Except it does. Brady has worked very hard on his deep ball over the years and it's not a natural skill of his but it's definitely good enough to offset his devestating short passes.I don't think that leading some stat for 3/4 of 1 season out of 16 doesn't change the fact that the long pass 'hasn't been one of his strengths.'
The only thing I can't figure out is which one of these best describes this guy.
I actually don't know any of them or follow them. I have an account at the Saints fan forum and the guy posted photos etc... of his girlfriend.
@pherein says saintsreport is like a cesspool.(I'm paraphrasing) Why would you have an account there?
