This is why I say cross-generational QB comparisons are kinda pointless b/c you needed different qualities to succeed back then ... Brady knows the defenders can't really go at him so he can perfect these timing routes, but back in the day they were getting obliterated on the regular w/ no flags, you had to be able to hang in there and take a ton of punishment and still make the vertical throws down field
Also these clips making me feel
like hell, remember the days of fullbacks, split back formations, enormous shoulder pads, andphysicality on defense being encouraged and not punished
