Tom Brady making throws that a below-average talent like Tom Brady could neve make: A THREAD
Example 1: Arm strength and downfield accuracy clearly is not his strength
70 yards across the field and he's off by an inch. Greatest incompletion ever
As you can clearly see, Tom Brady needs to set his feet and have a clean pocket to accurately throw downfield. Move him off his spot or put pressure in his face and he's hopeless
Tom Brady uses his grit and work ethic to get away from Jared Allen, turn his back to the defense, and still fire a strike to generational talent Brandon Tate
I am once again reminded that downfield accuracy just isn't the name of Brady's game
Guys like Cam Newton don't have Brady's elite numbers because their supporting cast is bad. Obviously not everyone gets blessed with superior talents like Kenbrell Thompkins
Not enough velocity on this for me to be impressed by the game-winning touchdown thrown in the perfect spot
Imagine pairing up Cam Newton with Brandon LaFell. They'd be unstoppable
This touchdown would've counted for 9 points if defenses had to also account for Brady in the run game
Truly elite quarterbacks would've used their legs to beat Bobby Freaking Wagner for the first down on 3rd and 14. Subpar athlete Tom Brady had to use his arm
Brady got hit 23 freaking times in this game and is still dropping dimes like this in a collapsing pocket with the game on the line
It's sad to see how Brady's arm really declined when he reached his late 30's
Superior arm talent Ryan Mallett steals Brady's jersey and goes undercover for one snap. It's the only way to explain number 12 throwing deep across his body without setting his feet and hitting the throw
The above play got called back by penalty, so Brady does this the very next play
3rd and 25 against the Legion of Boom to deep ball specialist Julian Edelman. I can't even sarcastically bash this one
Constantly reminded how Tom Brady cannot create plays on his own when the pocket collapses
Mobility is clearly the most important trait in quarterbacking
I will never get over this throw
In 2017 an age-40 Tom Brady led the league in air yards while winning MVP. It's tough to do that with this clearly below-average arm
Brady gets absolutely pummeled as he throws and still connects deep downfield to Cooks on 3rd and 13. Such pedestrian arm strength
Yet another example of how Brady's arm just isn't good enough when pressure's in his face and he can't set his feet
Thank God the Patriots finally have an accurate deep passer
Imagine thinking anyone else could play the quarterback position at a higher level
The red zone offense is bound to get better with a more accurate red zone passer
Casually beating triple coverage to win the Super Bowl
Give or take 60 yards in the air, dropped right on the money
Cam might be a better option for the team in 2020 because Brady clearly just didn't have it anymore
Truly sad to see a once-great player like Brady completely fall off and lose what little physical gifts he had
2019 season opener. Clear from the start that it just wasn't there anymore
Sure Brady senses pressure, quickly escapes it, and then connects with Edelman for the first down on 3rd and forever, but it would've been more fun if he scrambled around in the backfield for days on end
Week 17 of his age-42 season. I'd say that his arm strength deteriorated, but there is absolutely nothing to back that up
Ending this thread of pathetic plays with an unremarkable completion to a wide-open Brian Tyms that anyone could make
If you’re still not convinced that Tom Brady is a mediocre arm talent that only wins because he tries harder than other professional quarterbacks, check out my thread on his MVP 2017 season https://twitter.com/dlpatsthoughts/status/1137687980993404928?s=21
