Many will say he has had bad WR core. I don't buy it. Brady was successful with scrubs early in his career and so have other good QBs.
My take is he is really cautious and in the NFL, to score TDs, you have to throw into tight coverage on time.
One, he is not confident in his arm, which is slightly above average at best so he is not going to fit throws into tight spots on a regular basis. This will kill you in the redzone and scoring ranges when those windows shrink due to the field shrinking.
Two, he gets rattled easy and has little pocket presence. MEaning, the timing will be off because he is not good at sliding around in the pocket and sensing pressure. He will have "happy feet" and sometimes feel pressure that isn't there. So this will throw off all the timing and he will just check it down. Thus, high completion percentage, low yards, low ints, low tds and high QBR.
Think about it. Last year the niners had a historical defense ad special teams and he mustered only 17TDs. Daid Akers broke the NFL record for most FGs in a season. that pretty much sums it up right there.
If i could post images and vids id show you examples but i'm only a rookie here. |
Alex Smith did, does, and will always suck.
