    Brady has an average deep ball. He rarely throws it 40-50 yards in the air. Any stats for 20+ or 40+ yard completions is usually a 5-10 yard slant and the receiver does all the work.

    Um. Last year in the Denver playoff game when he was "underthrowing" Bryant he was doing that on a shoulder that would have kept most qb's out for weeks. Not exactly fair to hold him to the standard of when he was 100%.

    Yeah Burfict dirty worked him pretty good the week before. Ben and Bryant were regularly connecting on deep balls that whole year and the one before. I want Ben to work the short game. Slow clock killing TD drives.

    If Ben could hit those receivers in stride more often he would have 10 more TD passes.
