Brady and passing yards

Brady is playing well and is in great shape. The rules favor longer careers for QB's. But, just on the eye test, he is looking more and more like a 42+ year old guy playing in the NFL. There's no way he makes it to starting at 44.

Brady is not playing well this year.

He didn't much last year. Any throw beyond 10 yards was basically him throwing it up for grabs. That hasn't improved this year, where he ranks poorly in contest throws. Unless the receiver is wide ass open down field, he's missing them.

The Pats tweak their offense every year and since the beginning of 2018, they've been running an offense that relies heavily on the run game, as a way to mask Brady's diminishing arm strength.

No one pays attention to this though cause HE'S GOT 6 RINGZZZZZ, HE'S THE GOAT.

This year's Pats team is pretty much a mirror image of the 2015 Broncos. That year Peyton Manning fell off a cliff and they relied on their defense to carry them. That was a special defense and they down right dominated and humiliated opposing QBs (Denver flat out broke Aaron Rodgers and Cam Newton that year. Rodgers has never been the same again and Newton also declined hard after SB 50). But there was a major difference; Denver in the end needed a bit of help to get the #1 seed (thanks to the Pats losing to a crappy Philly team that year. Denver also needed some serious help to beat New England in the regular season, mainly thanks to special teams and defense). The AFC wasn't really weak that year which I think makes the 2015 Broncos even more special, they got through some legit good teams. In 2019, the AFC is a joke and New England will be able to get through it with ease.
