Tom vs. Patrick -- Super Bowl LV thread

[bigpern23]

Agree to disagree, I suppose, but he had no idea where that ball was going. It hit a teammate in the facemask. Calling him a receiver, like he meant to throw it to that particular guy, is a stretch.

Is this a serious post? Look at the link I posted above. He saw Williams leak out of the backfield as he was rolling right and tracked him the whole way.

He wasn't a linemen. A dude is a receiver regardless of intent to throw. And that ball was a bloody laser to the dude. I think he meant it.

As the first comment accurately states, "also, it was incomplete." There's not a quarterback playing above high school who couldn't throw a ball 30 yards from that position.

This is as ridiculous a take as I have seen.

May be my favorite sj.com take since the poster commented when GD Spradlin died that he didn't know Spradlin from The Godfather Part II or Apocalypse Now, but loved him in Canadian Bacon.

I don't think Jared Goff could make that throw if you suspended him with wires

in high school or after

I don't think Brady could make that throw (how's that for a hot take?).

Brady didn't have to make that throw because his team protected him better than Mahomes' team was capable of doing.



That was the key difference in the game — one quarterback in command, the other constantly in a panicked escape.

In Brady's 1st Super Bowl win he was teammates with Lee Johnson who was drafted in 1985. Brady played with a guy who is now 59 years old.

Johnson was cut mid-year that season and the Pats got Ken Walter to replace him, which I only remember because I had to design a Super Bowl page on deadline and used an AP photo of Vinatieri celebrating with Walter.

I looked up Johnson's stats and he finished with the Vikings that season, and, at age 41, played two games for the Eagles in 2002z

I understand that. But that's not what I was saying.
