Re: This one's on Brady
I agree entirely. It is important for the "The O-Line was terrible" posters to recognize that even when he had all the time in the world, Brady's throws were terrible. Additionally, when he did face pressure, he threw off of his back foot. There were many cases where there was pressure, Brady threw the ball while backpeddling or off of his back foot only to miss the receiver by a small margin. In these cases, there was space and time to step into his throws, sometimes at the cost of taking a hit, and sometimes it seems as though Tom rushed his throws even when a rusher was still some yards off. In years past, he stands in, makes the good throw, and takes the hit or, when the rusher was still a bit off, the rusher peels off to avoid roughing the passer.
He just isn't there yet mentally. He needs time.
