Tom Brady

[Catseye3]

QBs have an expression, putting the ball "between the numbers", that is, throwing with such accuracy that the ball lands mid-chest of the receiver he's throwing to: between the numbers on the guy's jersey.

One time someone complimented Brady on a good throw, "Got it right between the numbers". Brady said, "Nah. It was four inches off."

Back up, Tom, and watch the most accurate NFL quarterback. Ever.

No wonder he enjoys the game so much.

I'm sure there were many takes to get those...But Brees was very accurate. He did a segment for Sports Science where he beat a world class archer...

@jolly Even so. The eye-hand-brain coordination of these guys is beyond phenomenal.

And to think they have to do some of this stuff from the pocket, with about two seconds to complete it.

I can't get over these guys.

Looks fake IMO

Your opinion don't count.

Well, that'll larn me.

This, from Yahoo Sports:
"Brady is pretty much universally considered the best quarterback of all time, but even he can’t fit the ball into that tight of a window.

"Sorry to be a buzzkill, but the video is obviously fake.

<snip>

"Not only is the level of precision Brady needed to make those throws virtually unattainable, it’s not how a Jugs machine works. To get the Jugs machine to send the ball back your way, it needs to be loaded from the backside. Not to mention, the machine needs somebody to manually push the ball through (at least it did when I played high school football 10-plus years ago).

"Not even a legend like Brady could pull that off, but that’s high-level video production and some quality acting from Brady."

Well, we all knew Brees was better.

Brady's acting is pretty good.

Brady plans to attend Peyton Manning's induction into the Hall of Fame on Sunday. This was all over the sporting channels. Peyton wrote, "It means a lot."

To this, Brady wrote, "Awesome." Then he wrote, "I just need to make sure he's really done. Can't risk this guy coming back."

LOL.
