:: Well, golly gee whiz...what a coincidence! ::
Yeah, on the surface it looks suspicious but an increase in completions has 2 integral parts.
(1) accuracy by the QB. Is there a question regarding this by Brady? Nope.
(2) Receivers not having “bricks for hands”. Has that improved over your time-frame? Yep.
Soft balls do not an NFL porn-film make. Now TALENT, that is a horse of a different color.
#1...Brady led the Pats to Super Bowl championships in 2002, 2004, and 2005...so we're not talking about some young QB with "potential" here making a sudden market improvement...
...we're talking about a great QB suddenly getting out-of-this-world better!
(2) Receivers not having “bricks for hands”. Has that improved over your time-frame? Yep.
You know, when I first saw the fumble story...that the Pats suddenly went from a fumble every 42 touches (2000-2006) to a fumble every 74 touches (2007-2014)...and that latter stat was year in, year out success...I said..."ya know, if they were suddenly doing that...then it would also show in Brady's % of completions...because if it was the football that was helping Pat RB hold onto the ball suddenly, then it would carry across the board to the receivers in holding onto passes...Looked at the stats, and sure enough...confirmation present...
