Is Tom Brady A Talented Thrower?

[Jakology]

In honor of @Rock Strongo I figured I'd make a Tom Brady thread talking about him from a different angle other than Rock's. So let's discuss shall we? Votes are can be views publicly. Speak your mind. Don't be afraid.

A talented thrower? I wouldn't agree so much with that anymore- especially on the deep ball. Is he a very intelligent QB who makes good decisions and has rock solid mechanics, yes. He's a MUCH better passer than he is a thrower. I'd go so far to say he is somewhat generic as a "thrower" at his age.

This. He's not a gunslinger with the big arm. He works hard to make the good pass where the receiver is the best one to catch the ball.

Did you guys see that rocket deep to Lafell last week? Perfect toss with no chance of being intercepted.

 

[NWPATSFAN]

Stats say yes. The naked eye says yes. The hardware he's collected says yes. That lack of #1 WRs he's had says yes. Being picked # 199 says yes. Ok everyone but Hammer gets the picture now.

 

[HammerDown]

No.

Period.

The worst in the league.

 

[sonnyblack65]

Leading the league in TD,s , Yards, yds per game, fewest ints and highest QBR I would have to say NO

 

[Carnzo]

No.

Period.

The worst in the league.

You kill me Hammer.
Always with a great joke, keep it up!

the real estate i own...

 

[SeeYouNT]

Talented thrower?




Definitely not.

 

[NWPATSFAN]

If it wasn't for TB threads, in large part due to his success. Hammer would still be only able to afford Ramen instead of Kraft Mac & Cheese

Tim Tebow > Tawmy Brady as a passer.

And the numbers prove it.

NFL Strike Zone: Patriots Quarterback Tom Brady

this is only thru 3 games this year, but i guess its good enough.

I've broken down each player by distance of the pass and by location on the field to try and see if Brady has any evident strengths or weaknesses in his game.

Overall
0 0 6 0 1
0 1 7 2 0

Through three games, Brady's been pretty much on point; 69% of his passes have been right into the hands and chests of his receivers. An additional 23% have been an arm's length away, where the receiver made the play to bring the ball in for a catch. Only 9% of his passes have been way off target, not including his three throwaways and two batted passes.

Of the 11 passes that were off target, six were overthrows on the deep ball. Two have been in the ground at the feet of Rob Gronkowski in the left flat, and three have just been wide of the target.

Yes. He is a Tantrum-Thrower.

Leave my friend Hammer "Radio" Down alone, he always roots for the underdog

One statement is logical, unbiased fact based on hard evidence.

The other is bullshit.

Please try harder.
