Also, a middle of the pack OLine that is barely Top 20. What has Brady regressed in? Name me one thing. His arm has lost absolutely zero velocity since 2015. Still a strong arm unlike Rivers/Eli. Pats fans will tell you this, anyone will tell you this. Same exact arm past four seasons. He is still #1 in Pocket Presence in the NFL. He is still the #1 progression reader in the NFL. And he’s still #1 at reading coverage pre snap. 7 minutes ago, BayRaider said: Watch the games. Read my post a couple posts above. Worst combined WR/TE core in the NFL. No TE’s at all.

Don’t give me that about building a team around Brady so we can win because you’re against doing it with Carr. His arms is lacking the strength that he once had. He has to step into more throws which takes time and throws off his rhythm with the WRs. Do you think his arm will get stronger or weaker as he ages ? Take a look then tell me how great he still is. https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/qb/2019 Bottom line Bradys on the decline Carr is getting better.

Bradys arm is still a strong arm, he is still making high velocity throws. He has not regressed in literally any trait. His arm took a minor regression around 2015 but is still the same since then. And stop spinning this for your own narrative. I’m not saying “build” around Brady. I’m saying we already have the team. Top 5 OL, Renfrow/Williams/Waller. This is WAY better than what NE has and is a pretty decent core despite constant crying from Carr fans. Add Brady and a WR at Pick 12 and we have a Top 5 Offense in the NFL. Brady regressing huh? How about you watch games brother. First 7 games of the year Brady was a Top 3-4 MVP candidate and was ripping teams apart. Why? Because they were playing a mix of zone and man. Next 9 games was almost exclusively man coverage minus some zone blitzes. Teams saw New Englands WR core cannot get any separation against man coverage and they adjusted according. It’s literally a pathetic group. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazer026 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I’d be a fan if we signed him to a 2-3 year deal, then drafted Love. Not sure how realistic that is though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drfrey13 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Is Davis allowed to talk to Brady before the free agency period? I hope nothing stupid was said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billking Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Does everyone here think if our o line gives up only 20-25 sacks next year Carr can't have a year like 2016 again? I know he's been struggling the past few years but I think 1 more year with good protection and receivers he can bounce back and then we got a guy for at least 7 years and maybe 1 or 2 more. I think he still has what it takes and not being cliche but Jim Plunkett was almost out of football before he got on a good team and we know how that worked out. Tom Brady in silver and black is just wrong in so many ways and for just a year or 2 may be all we have him for and players up in years regress rapidly when it happens it's not gradual he could lose all his velocity just in one year and then were screwed. I think we have the pieces in place like others have said and were ready to step forward with Carr. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they can talk all they want, just not about him joining the Raiders, even in a joking way. I don’t think we need to worry about it though. If anyone is causing collusion it’s Dana White. He’s a lifelong Pats fan but wants Brady in Vegas to promote the Raiders and get more people to Vegas for UFC and his other endeavors.

Teddy Bridgewater, Louisville Wow one could argue that 2014 draft is is backward. But dang could you imagine if the Raiders had Gruden and Mayock in 2014? Manziel would have been the pick probably.

Chali21 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 https://youtu.be/rQBrJpMtAMo i know this isn’t an actual scouting report but it’s funny to me how often people criticize Carr for throwing short of the sticks considering how often Brady does it.

This is my take. They literally play the same way. I'd bet Carr has studied him and models his game after him quite a bit. Brady has been way more successful, but he's had all of the advantages in the last 20 years that every QB dreams of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I bet the Pats get more top free agents because of winning culture than the Raiders would with Brady. They’ll get another QB and be right back in the playoff hunt. Jimmy G, Jacoby, both starters who sat behind Brady. The system from the top down is one of the best. Raiders one of the worst. History is great but decades of doo doo with a nice run with Gruden the first time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayRaider Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 - Dana White invited Tom to UFC 246, tickets paid for. - Mark Davis is not a UFC fan. - The two were talking for over 20 minutes according to sources. I’ve been saying Tom to Vegas since October. Rich Eisen called it in November. Come to Vegas, Tom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayRaider Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Dana White UFC 246 Presser: “I thought you guys were going to ask me ‘Hey, Tom Brady was here. Davis was here. I saw them talking. What’s going on?’” White joked on Saturday night. “Are you guys (expletive) Las Vegans or what? Come on man. If that dude isn’t playing for Boston he’s playing here.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of have the same impression. Reminds me of Kobe trying to be Jordan. Only Carr is no where near Kobe's level and I thought Kobe was the most overrated player of all time.
