Brady lost a season because someone dove into his knee. It isn’t like the guy didn’t suffer from these type of hits.

They put these rules in because everyone knows if the QBs get ruined the team’s season most likely is ruined. Everyone hates the protective rules until their QB is sidelined and their team is using a career back-up the rest of the season.

Elite QBs like Kirk cousins threw for 4,000 yards for 7 seasons out of 8 when Brady was playing

Why are we or anyone acting like he didn’t play in the easiest time in history to accumulate passing stats?

Speaking of Kirk cousins, someone who played with Brady and still plays today, he gave a very reasoned non melted plastic surgery brain melted discussion on why it’s so much harder to accurate passing stats today




Brady is not handling retirement well. This Logan Paul shite is even sadder

As someone who definitely watches less football than I have ever watched, I’m actually finding it difficult to say something is wrong.

I agree with everything Brady is saying, but I think that just makes football different now. It’s less interesting to me personally (for a few reasons) but I’m not completely apathetic, and more people watch today than ever before.

you realize Brady played in a more pass happy era where it was far easier to throw for a ton of yards right? Because it doesn’t seem like you do


Holy comprehension issues, Batman.

I would agree that's part of it.

you're I mean some of these guys are either just doing one or two reads and trying to get the ball as fast out as they can. some quarterbacks just get thrown into a s*** show from day one. they go to a team that doesn't have a lot of pieces and they have a bad offensive line and they just never really developed.

I would say that that's another big factor as far as some of these quarterbacks go. sometimes the blocking up front is just terrible. other times teams just don't have good receivers and they can't get open so therefore the quarterback has to hold the ball.

I mean there are a lot of factors that go into it.

but I would agree like you said from the jump that some of it does have to do with them just not being able to read defenses all that well.
