Message: [QUOTE="NielsisGood, post: 2326013, member: 7503"] I've heard a few people share that assessment of Brady. Pretty sure Bill Simmons mentioned it on his pod, and I've heard a few of the talking heads on espn/csn say it as well. A specific play I can point to is when Pats had the ball down 1 early in the 4th and Cooks was wide open coming off a curl on the far sideline. Play was 3rd and long, Cooks wide open probably about 2-3 yards underneath his defender and Brady sails it over Cooks head to the point where Cooks had to jump out of bounds to try and catch it. There was also a seam down the middle where Cooks had a step or 2 on his man fairly deep and Brady overthrew the play by about 5 yards, and I saw the same thing happen a few times throwing to Hogan. That's not to say that KC didn't do a good job at times in coverage, just that there were plenty of open targets during the game and Brady overthrew most of them. Way more than I've ever seen in a game where he wasn't being heavily pressured (for most of the game until the end anyways). Now I'd definitely rather see him have too much on his throws as opposed to end of career Peyton where he struggled to get the ball more than 7-8 yards downfield, but Brady with any reasonable amount of protection is always absolute money on short-intermediate throws, so it was perplexing seeing him airmail as many throws as he did. The defense clearly fell apart after Hightower left, but hyper athletes like Hill and Hunt were always going to be an issue for this front 7 anyways, so I'm not nearly as surprised with that as I was with Brady.
