Brady Not too terrific: So far he's been average at best

by MainePhinFan on Oct 17, 2009 6:50 PM EDT Comment 29 comments

So yes.. I LOVE this story !! I am going to paste highlights of the story below. You can find the full story here on ESPN.com

So.. lets start off with this:

A third of the way into the season, as much as it might be sacrilege to point it out, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has been mediocre.

I love reading how Brady is not the epic monster QB this season. Any ideas why? I feel its because he doesnt have the play book of the oposing team being handed to him on every blitz and every coverage. Just a thought on my part. Seriously, if you know what play is about to come down on you you would be one hell of a smart QB because you will know who will be open and whatnot.. makes for a hell of a elite QB (Brady) if you ask me.

Compared to the average NFL quarterback, Brady has the same completion percentage, a slightly lower yards-per-attempt average and slightly fewer touchdowns. Brady's yardage gives him a better passer rating.

I love this fact.. compaired to the AVERAGE NFL QB... People finally compairing him to average QB's is awesome. It does not read "Compaired to the top ranked QB's" or something like that, it compairs Brady to the average NFL QB.. beautiful !

Based on passer rating, he ranks eighth on third down, 17th in the fourth quarter (even with that dazzling finish against the Bills), 15th in the red zone, 14th out of the shotgun, 17th on passes thrown 10 yards or shorter, 22nd on passes thrown between 11 and 20 yards and 28th on passes thrown beyond 21 yards or deeper.

Gotta LOVE these stats here ! and finally one of the best facts:

The Patriots' longest pass play has been 36 yards. Brady is tied with Jason Campbell for 21st in the NFL with 11 pass plays of 20 yards or longer.

Please go read the whole article and enjoy and gloat about it as I am!!

Tom Brady has only one season with over 28 TDs,

and one under 11ints, it was the same miracle season, he simply isn’t as good as he is made out to be.

The media over hypes one thing, then

like a ADD kid on caffiene finds someone else to drool over. They’ve done this for as long as i can remember. Also it doesn’t hurt a team called The Patriots (come on this should be obvious) are good when there is a war on terror going on.

He is playing avg because he IS avg. He has had a GREAT TEAM around him which has hidden his averageness.

And he is afraid a 340 lb lineman will fall on him and Gisele will disdain rolling his ass around in a wheelchair! (The article mentioned this too)

Its the knee

He hasnt overcome the mental aspect of his injury, he is playing timid and he isnt planting his foot like he used too.

Yes I guess I screwed the pooch posting this the other day huh?

Although it was against a Titans team who looked like they recruited kids from the local high school lately.

Yeah, they would have made J. Russel look like a great QB today.

I still want to see them do it against a real team. Its easy to beat the JV lineup from “Our Sisters of the Holy Trinity”!
