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. |
I'm not slagging Brady; he's the GOAT.
That play is uncharacteristic of what we saw in our games last year, that's a good full four seconds holding the ball.
I think if he does that Clark and Jones are going to say hello.
Also, it's a blown coverage, and a lofted pass; I think most NFL QB's make that throw.
Regardless of THAT, if that's how a defense plays, then it doesn't matter if it's Antonio Brown or some practice squad guy.
My overall point is that I don't know that Brown's special skillset plays all that much to Brady and NE's offensive mindset. As opposed to, say, Big Ben who holds the ball forever, or a Mahomes, who buys time to allow for those really long pass plays.
Not saying he sucks or anything, and not saying Brady is decrepit, just that maybe he isn't going to be as explosive as he would in a few other offenses.
