Sports 24/7 Tourney - Will Tom Brady have another 4,400+ yard season? - Take Two
Thugmeister said 01/25, 04:25 PM
No, Brady will not throw for 4400+ yards again in one season.
Truly, Brady has had a season for the ages, throwing for 4806 yards, 3rd most ever in one year. But chances are not good for him to go over the 4400 mark again.
4400 yards has only been surpassed 21x in the history of the NFL. Out of those 21, only Marino (3x) Manning, & Moon have accomplished it more than once. Since Brady's last name begins with B- and not M- he certainly has no shot.
In his first 5 years as sole starter, Brady averaged 3743 yards per season. So him jumping up to 4800 this year is like looking at Luis Gonzalez' HR #'s in 2001, an anomaly, not the norm.
Whether or not Moss is back next year doesnt matter. The Hoodie will have to change his offensive attack, as teams adjust to what worked for them this year. He wont throw for that many yds again because he wont have to.
Maroney is a talented back. A back certainly capable of running for +1000 yds. Teams will no doubt be adjusting to NE offensive scheme next year, and likely Maroney will be the counter to other teams countering them
More yds Maroney=less yds for Brady
NE will still win in future, they just wont avg 275 yds by air

Yes he will. Who are you? Nostrathugmeisterdamus now? Please. The best predictor of future behavior is your most recent past and Brady right now is a machine like no other. Dude could throw a Hail Mary in quadruple coverage and Gaffney or Stallworth would catch it with one hand while dangling both toes just inside the chalk and nobody would even blink.
A season for the ages? Dude, Brady got 2/3 of most of his great games out of his system in the first half of the season. This back half has been beyond a struggle, albeit always victorious, but the 400 yard passing games and 4+ touchdowns were a first half anomoly AND DUDE STILL HAD A SEASON FOR THE AGES.
Lets say that Brades doesnt struggle against weather and teams trying to take down the mighty undefeated Pats every week next year and dude should blow up at LEAST as much next year, with or without Moss.
Okay here is my paragraph ignoring your alphabet soup madness with peoples names. NEXT!
Dont tell me what Brady USED to average. All I care about is what he DOES average now and I will ride this one trick pony with whatever WRs you want to throw out there. You know Welker, Stallworth, Gaffney R Back next year.
Thugmeister said 01/26, 12:13 PM
The point of the Alphabet soup argu is only that 4400 is a difficult # to reach. The only QB who did it consistently is Marino. Marino never had a quality RB, hence the reason the Fins had to throw so much. Successful teams generally have a more balanced attack.
So I guess the 399 he hung up on Pitt in wk 14 was somehow in the first half of the season? Or the gaudy 356 in wk 17? Your argu makes no sense and contradicts itself.
More telling has been the postseason, as good teams adjust and counter what had worked for the Pats before. He has avg 235 in the playoffs ??? over 16 games that would be 3768 ??? wait whats his career avg? 3743! EXACTLY.
In those 2 po games Maroney has gone for 122 in each. Over the season he only avgd 64 a game. So already the Pats are shifting focus to him ??? and it has worked.
The NFL is an ever changing league. What worked last year is sure to not work as much the following year. DC's are smart, in general, they study game film and invent ways to stop the unstoppable teams, it is inevitable. The Pats may be smarter, but that only means they know how to adjust and change their game to whatever works
And yes, next year that means mas Maroney!

Dang - I had a chance to change that and I didn't! Marino did it 4 times, not 3. (Grumble, grumble, grumble)
Cass will hopefully be arguing tonight. Until then, please enjoy this link

Report Offensive CommentCass can't get on FN during the day, cause her boss won't let her. Last night he made her work OT, so she wasnt able to argue the TD for this tourney and it got deleted. So I have to re-start it before I leave work (and FN) for the day
