If Brady's contract truly includes some personnel input and his first official choice is AB, it will be one helluva fun circus to watch. That's Bill O'Brien level decision making right there.
I would say it’s almost a guarantee they bring in a vet like Gordon/Gurley or to a lesser degree Dion Lewis
Like all statistics, any stat can be used in different ways. While Brady may have been the 7th best deep passer last year, that is based on rate of effectiveness not quantity. We don't know what would have happened if Brady would have thrown deep 5 times as often and if the situation warranted it. Similarly, Brady may not throw deep as often as Winston did and may make the decision not to put the ball up for grabs. Similarly, to throw deep requires time to throw. Brady is not great at extending plays (although he has shown to be somewhat elusive in the pocket). But exposing a 43 year old QB to shots from the defense on deep routes seems like an accident waiting to happen. All we can really do is wait to see how it works out.ffmail4me said:
Still apples to oranges as far as I am concerned. Completely different players, systems, lines, degree of familiarity, etc. The numbers could go in either direction, and as you mentioned previously, Brady’s age, skills, and numbers are more apt to continue in the wrong direction.
Agree. What that data really told me more than anything is that Winston was actually quite good at deep passing last season. Probably the strongest element of his game, and it won't be easy for Brady to equal or better that. Seems more likely that the offense will change to de-emphasize deep passing.

Here was the cut to the chase line at the end of that second article: Tom Brady's early 2020 projection: 366-for-590, 4,474 yards, 29 TDs, 10 INTs.
There's good reason to believe he'll have a better year than last year. Not saying world beating, just better.
It’s another Wickersham article. I can’t do it. Someone can let me know if there is anything positive or informative or if it is another hit piece.
12-4 with Matt Cassell.Chaz McNulty said:
11-5 in the 2008 season, but Brady started the first game. So technically 10-5 without Brady that season, and 13-6 overall in New England without Brady since Brady became the starting QB, including the 3-1 Deflategate suspension games with Garoppolo and Brissett.
Well said. It goes without saying that neither Belichick nor Brady would have achieved even close to the same success without the other. What happens in the future won't tarnish the legacies of either, although the media will sure play it up if either has immediate success and the other does not.
I beg to differ. G2 was meh. G3 includes the greatest scene ever made in the history of cinema. imo.Anarchy99 said:
If he'd be amiable to it, why not bring Winston back as a backup? Its clear nobody is clamoring for him as a starter, and he knows the offense and already has chemistry who everybody except Gronk. Doubt there'd be a locker room issue either, because its not like some rookie took his job, its a 1st ballot HOF'er.
If your wife/ gf broke up with you for another guy would you want to hang around in the guest room and watch them bang?
What? That isn't even close to the same thing.
