It's easy, and only takes a few moments.You don't get to talk about ignoring facts when you're choosing to ignore the fact of the offensive personnel issues in your hurry to downgrade the numbers. If you're going to complain about context, stop ignoring the context.
My post literally says he has "limited weapons" compared to last 4 years.
Regardless, his play has objectively declined this year, especially in decision making which has nothing to do with his personnel. That doesn't mean he sucks or it's over or he can't lead the team to a SB.
Limited weapons is meaningless, and the line after "Regardless" is simply not correct. Stop doubling down. Step away. Re-assess. Re-think. Then post.

The man threw for 70% completion percentage, 500+ yards, 10.0 YPA for 41 points in the Superbowl less than a year ago. Which category or statistic or facet of his game do people feel he's declined in?
I think Brady played poorly by the standard he set for himself. What I mean is I don’t think he looked particularly sharp, again by his standard. Statistically, sure it wasn’t a horrible year. But I think he’d agree that the Pats offense left a lot of points on the field, and he drives the offense.
Based on my eye ball test he didn't do that well so far.
Your stats ignore the fact there was a huge explosion of offense this season yet Brady's stats actually declined.
If you asked Brady to grade his season I’m sure he’d be extremely critical.
More than any other poster on this board, you post something without any elaboration at all. You simply say "you are wrong" or "that is not correct"
Just hit the disagree button if you can't be bothered to elaborate on any of your opinions.
You also think the Kirk Cousins contract was a good one so I know what I'm dealing with here.
Since most people can't see the forest for the trees the answer you seek lies in a 'statistic or facet of his game' you did not include in your analysis, namely W's. This year's 11 win total is the lowest since 2009. In other words, most people are still idiots and water is still wet.
Tom F Brady, all he does is win.
Come on. Nobody really thinks that if McCourty was in the last play versus Dolphins instead of Gronkowski, getting us to 12 wins, then Brady had a better year as QB. That thought process would be inane.
Can he round up or do you need down to a thousandths of inch?
LOL, yeah. I would like to see you waste a whole night so I do not have to think at all.
Lol, you actually did that?! I knew the completion percentages would not be any difference. 4355 yards this year compares to 4577 yards last year when Brady was the league MVP. 277/4577 that is 4.8% percentage. All the talks about TB off a cliff are nonsense. He made two uncharacteristic Red Zone errors. that is all.You guys are killing me. The OP literally said "what facet do people feel he's declined in" and my thought was "maybe intermediate and deep passing".
If you know some python and where to get the data (in this case BSPN), it definitely doesn't take all night, more like 10-15 minutes. Here's the answer:

Conclusions: His completion % is essentially the same regardless of distance. There are some differences in some cases, but usually when the sample size is small enough for them not to be statistically significant. Notably, he doesn't have one completed pass over 40 yards this year despite averaging about 2 in the previous 5 years (which still seems low to me).
ETA: For some reason BSPN didn't report sacks correctly in these splits so they all show up as 0.
Just off the top of my head, so if they aren’t right please correct me :For Brady, the 500 yards passing in the SB wasnt enough because they lost but I blame it on the defense who couldnt stop the eagles on 4th and 1 when they went for it on their side of the field when we were up 33-32. that hurt

Brady would say that every year, for most games, that we left some points on the field. He's a perfectionist.
Your eye ball test versus my facts and stats..... hmmmm.
