Tom Brady is the most accomplished quarterback in the history of the NFL. And now as he walks away from his playing career and begins his career as an analyst, he has made it clear that he is not impressed with the current generation of quarterbacks.
During a recent interview with Yahoo Sports, Tom Brady called out the current generation of NFL quarterbacks as he claimed that “quarterbacking has gone backwards” since he was in his prime in the NFL.
“I think the quarterbacking has gone backwards a little bit in the NFL,” Brady said Wednesday. “I don’t think it’s improved. I don’t think the teaching’s improved. I think maybe the physical fundamentals might be a little bit improved because there’s better information out there for quarterbacks to study on mechanics. But I don’t think quarterbacks really are really field generals right now like they used to be.
“It’s a broad statement, certainly. But I had total control. I had all the tools I needed. I was coached that way. I was developed to have the tools that I needed to go on the field so that whenever something came up, I had the right play, the right formation, the right audible, the right check at the line — to ultimately take control of the 11 guys on offense and get us into a good, positive play.”
Clearly, Brady thinks something needs to change.
