Tom Brady was among league’s worst in ‘bad passes’ last season | masslive.com

Wow, some really interesting numbers in here, that aren’t necessarily all that positive for TFB which of course is rare. He was just .4 percent better than Mark Sanchez. Crazy huh?

Brady completely missed his mark – short, long or wide – on more than 17 percent of his passes last season, according to numbers compiled by Stats, Inc.

Here’s the only explanation I can come up with, an incompletion is better than an interception, right? I don’t think there’s any question that when a play is not there Brady will not try to force the pass.

It’s also worth pointing out, as the article does, how much the Pats didn’t have much success on passes more than 20 yards down the field last year either.

Put it all together and it’s still hard to see how it exactly comes out this way, but it’s something to monitor this year. However it does make me think that he was absolutely surgical in the middle of the field. Wish we could see how many, if any, of those passes were bad.
