I am as critical as anyone about Brady and his short passes with YAC yards adding to his stats, but lots of teams are running this type of play now. Technically a "pass" because its tossed forward, but its really a running play. Have seen it several times.

Its not a bad idea, really, because if its dropped, its not a fumble but an incomplete pass instead, no risk of fumble recovery.

If you want to really see what kind of "greatness" you get from Brady though look at his "game winning drive" from last week. They ran the ball and he threw a few screens, they are driving down the field, then he throws one long pass to Gronk, admittedly a great pass but Gronk was open, not a hard pass to complete. Then they kick a FG to win. He literally did nothing that half the QBs in the league could not do, but he is BRADY!!!! So its so great!!!

I always imagine we live in an alternate universe where somehow EVERYTHING has gone Tom Brady's way his whole career to make him seem WAY more valuable than he is to the team. Look at yesterday's game. The Bears COMPLETE A HAIL MARY, but are stopped short of the TD and still lose. Somewhere there is another universe where AV missed the Oakland kick, Brady never became the starter in NE, went back to selling insurance after 4 years as a career back up
