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.

I agree with 100% of what you said. Many Pats fans have also asked if AB fits our system. The bottom line though is that AB is an ELITE route runner, so I think if he's not suspended or cut for being the lunatic that he obviously is, eh could definitely help even with the intermediate stuff that the Pats/Brady excel at.
He can also attract attention and clear stuff out for Edelman and the RBs underneath, given what a ridiculous threat he is.
But I've resigned myself to him not being around much longer. Hope for the best but expect the worst kinda approach. He's obviously the biggest knucklehead in the world, in addition to possibly being a rapist and bullying asshole.
