Isn’t it amazing how Drew was lambasted for the better part of six weeks for not playing outside of himself by throwing deep balls just for aesthetics?! He was castigated over foregoing bombs for high percentage “dinking/dunking”. Never mind the fact that his mastery of that style kept our offense near the top of the league. Conversely, Mr. Covergirl was initially praised for still throwing vertically (albeit against trash defenses). Brady was lauded for still having a “live arm“.
Now, fast forward to the past three or four weeks. Brady can’t hit the broad side of the Superdome on those deep shots, yet he still keeps throwing up wounded ducks in hopes that he and A(nother) B(lowup) can recreate the Patriots 2007 2.0.
Suddenly, sports analysts are questioning why Arians has Tommy throwing deep. Why he hasn‘t modified the playbook to highlight what Tom does best: short and intermediate throws that move the chains. Out of nowhere it seems like air yards are over rated and precision passes that keep the offense on time and the defense on the field are the winning philosophy.
Gee, I wonder if a 40 year old QB could master such a system?! These “analysts” are a joke.
