Pinpoint accuracy? Absolutely. Knowing exactly where to go with the ball? Totally. He's the smartest QB to ever play, in my opinion. If he'd have had Mahomes' physical gifts, I don't think NE would've punted once in these last 18 years.

If he's throwing 'bullets' suddenly at 42, then I want a steroid test.

AFAIK Brady is subject to the same testing as everyone else. I've watched every snap of his career and he's never had any kind of significant reduction of arm strength as he's aged.

He's never had the strongest arm. He's no Mahomes or Vick or whatever. He relies heavily on precision mechanics to generate his velocity. But it hasn't dropped noticeably.
