Soko Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Also worth mentioning that QBs threw the ball a lot less back then. Without having the numbers in front of me, I think it’s pretty safe to say that generally less pass attempts = less hits taken, on average. There’s no doubt that the league did away with a bunch of dangerous play, but guys make it sound like every down of the 80s-90s NFL was like the first kick return in The Longest Yard. While also ignoring the size/speed differences in most players in the front. Stuff’s relevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying it's not easier now, but it's not always a cake walk. 90s wasn't as bad as people like to romanticise. I think the most notable difference was you could lay one on the QB a bit late. I don't think they took more hits though, because they ran the ball a lot more. On average I bet it's similar.

But also, as he gets older and declines, his consistency won't be there nearly as much. He will have those stinkers more and more often.

I think you are still taking last week into account. Brady made some gorgeous throws today, some great decisions, and 4 TD's no picks.

Hunter2_1 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Saints own Tampa Bay, they own Arians as well. Is TB back to MVP now according to the media? Washed up to MVP on a weekly basis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUGmen Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 I thought he moved around in the pocket very well. He missed a couple of deep balls. Two notable were to Brown which he may have ran wrong route and then another where he evaded the rush and missed Gronk. Funny thing is, Brady may not have played well to others standards yet still puts up over 300+ and 4TDs and zero TOs. I’m still not sure why Leftwich is not calling more quick slants. That’s Brady’s bread and butter and with this receiver core they could do it all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter2_1 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 That pass to Godwin between two defenders, after he just took a swipe from the DE - that's up there in his top throws. Didn't think I'd see another one after 2016 or 17, but he zinged a thread through a needle whilst under duress . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a major opinion fest that flops a complete 360 weekly due to performance. Disgusting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUGmen Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Surprised this has not been bumped yet. Terrible game last night from Brady. Scheme is also the problem. Enough with the vertical crap if it’s clearly not working. IIRC, wasn’t Brady #1 in the league in air yards and passes over 20+ from Week 1-8? Not sure what has happened. Is the OL? Father Time?

Is the OL? Father Time? A mix of good, disguised coverage, frustration/poor decision making, miscommunications, and Marpet's concussion. I think the ability is still there but the game plan and decision-making about when and how to go deep is poor. Hopefully easier to correct than a failing arm. We can revisit the question on Sunday evening. Edit to add that a couple last night were so off target that either he was just slinging it because he was fed up or his ball placement consistency had dropped. Something to keep an eye on. It could be to do with the pressure in his face. Edited November 24, 2020 by scottishpatriot Adding a thought 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indifference Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Brady was rushing when the rush wasnt even getting home. He did not look comfortable at any point during the second half. First half getting the ball out quick was working then they went away from it. Because Leftwich is not a good OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
