Cam ends the year ranked higher than Brady.
If they play a full season - 12 - 4.
End of year QB rankings . . . I don't even care what the scoring system is. After watching Brady, I think he has lost a lot. I hear people suggesting it will be 2007 all over again. Brady is 43, not 30.
Nice David. Don’t doubt the last two, but surprised by you Cam prediction. based on your posts questioning the NE receivers. I hope you’re right!
Cool. This will be fun.
I'm 43. In case there is any doubt, I'm no Tom Brady. I am in the best shape I've been in since my late 20s though as I have been training really hard the last two years. Anyway, I walk through my house and (there are kid toys everywhere) I'll see an object in my way. I see it. I recognize it. I make a snap mental decision to walk around or over it. Then I stub my toe on it anyway. My body simply doesn't do the things I tell it to sometimes. That said I'll take a slightly lesser physical version of Brady who knows what he's doing and has these weapons. I'd place the over/under at 4600 yards, 35 TDs.
Definitely, especially as a season long metric. If per game, maybe. I think this is about the line he puts up but I'd take the under as well.
I don't think that's crazy. That offense is going to be really hard to defend. And just a few dump off (or designed) passes to Barkley that he house calls, are going to pad Jones stats. If he takes a step forward this year then yes he is very undervalued right now. Even if he plays about the same he is probably still too low.
I hope ur right as I ended up with him last night, even though I'm not bullish on Brady.....I wanted Golladay, but he went right before, dang it!
Top 5 might be a stretch, but I can easily see Jones a top 10 QB and a QB1. All Jones has to do is protect the football better. The game scripts are going to allow Jones to rack up the yards. While they don't have the best WRs, Tate, Shepard and Slayton can easily get the job done, along with one the best RBs in Barkley.
For sure. But those are monster numbers.
No, it's really me, and I won't come up with excuses should Brady find the fountain of youth and put up a great season. I'm also not an Angry Patriot Guy . . . I said for months NE would be better off without him and while he was a legend, it was best to move on.
I look at this way.....TB's arm is nothing compared to Winston's. I'm talking pure arm strength, velocity, ability to stretch the field.....not talking decision making.....How will Tom be able to full utilize his weapons when his body is failing him? I honestly feel like Godwin is prolly the better option based on working underneath.....and dump offs to RoJo and TE's.
I've been favoring Godwin also. I just think that Tom will be able to matriculate the ball as well as any team in the league and that when they get to the redzone it will be child's play. And that leaves some room for an occasional over the top long completion and/or a long house call that someone like Gronk or Godwin catches in stride on shorter stuff. You may be right about Tom not being able to *fully* utilize his weapons because of his body, but there are multiple ways to win (and to put up 4600/35) and Tom knows all of them. Granted, if it was 2007 Tom with this squad we probably easily set it at 5000/40.
I will give this some thought. But I have concerns with Brady's fit in Tampa. I think BB figured out that Brady could no longer be the driving force of the offense and was more of a use as needed weapon. That's why he shifted to more of a defense and running game roster the past few years. Arians is much more of a big and bold offense and all in favor of longer developing plays and chucking the football down the field. IMO, that isn't Brady's strong suit anymore and he will be much more exposed to taking hits this year. TB mastered the quick out and 2 second release. Maybe Tampa runs a lot more of that and shies away from deep routes, but that's what Brady has been able to run these last few years.
I mean, maybe in TD heavy leagues if he gets piles of short, fall in the end zone stuff. I just don't have any faith in his ability to find daylight.....and maybe there will be huge holes for him to run thru for days......I'm not holding my breath.
No idea what faux NEP fan would say such things, but their card should be revoked.
@Joe Bryant - let's hear your specific projections and numbers for Brady and the Bucs. Or do you consider Dodds' ranking (or any other other staffer - Henry, Tremblay, Woods) as your definition of "excel?"
