Noted by Jaws: Tom Brady can tie record for most consecutive games w/a TD pass (54) against NO in Week 6. Current record holder? Drew Brees.

Our Friday column is up and it’s all about Tom Brady and the impact of the revamped passing game on his legacy. Found some interesting stuff looking back at the number of top receivers other long-term elite quarterbacks had. This is really a chance for Brady to put the final nail in the greatest of all time debate.

Simply put, no quarterback of recent vintage has had to rely on a wider variety of targets than he has. According to ESPN Stats and Information, since 2001, Brady has completed at least 250 passes in the regular season to four different pass catchers over the course of his 12-year career as a starting quarterback: Wes Welker (563), Deion Branch (328), Troy Brown (323) and Kevin Faulk (310). Providing they both stay healthy, it’s a safe bet that two more names will join that list sooner rather than later, as Rob Gronkowski has 187 career receptions from Brady, while Aaron Hernandez has 175.
