Ever wonder just how bad Tom Brady's long ball is?

[Ingtar33]

its an insomniac type of night, and I was looking up QB

stats, and I got to thinking... "just how bad is Tom Brady's long ball?" So I hunted it down

-not too bad... if you ignore the 40% completion percentage on passes from 10-20 yards

Intresting Ingtar. Thanks!

[Bufftp]

it'll be interesting to see if pennington can keep it up.

I noticed that last year at the QB challenge. He was pathetic at 15+ yards. He scored the lowest of all QB's.

Bring this up to Patsy fans, and they tend to argue it with a simple, "He was the MVP at the Super Bowl"

[Michael82]

nbf....is there actually any diehard patsie fans? I looked around and they don't even have an actual fan website like this. They are one of the only teams that is hard to find messageboards and stuff because we all know most of their fans jumped on the bandwagon when they were HANDED the Super Bowl by the refs back in 2002.
