Dude, he is going into year 10. Wake up have some coffee lol. Brady's arm got stronger with age. His arm was good not great coming out of college and his first several yrs.Couple yrs ago he was shown to have a cannon. Could be getting a little weaker now that he is 40.

had to actually count on my fingers for that because simple math failed me there... that's odd.

But anyway, his arm was stellar coming out, he had a top 3 cannon the day he stepped in the league, it was his calling card. Nobody hit sideline comebacks with the velocity that he did. He just wasn't cut loose until later on where he really showed his arm often.

And when will people stop comparing flacco to Brady.. Jesus Christ you're talking about a run of the mill franchise qb compared to literally the greatest of all time.

Dude calm down comparing armstrength isnt comparing their play. Brady's arm was good not a cannon. If I were to have to guess I believe he has used HGH. Steroids is pretty useless in throwing velocity. HGH helps the ligament tendons and joints needed for throwing. HGH isn't much of a muscle builder unless combined with something. Which I don't think Brady would do. He is after velocity, smoother cushy joints and strong ligament and tendons. It also extends throwing velocity further than the traditional age QBs play til.

I'm perfectly calm lol. Brady is a freak, and he has gotten better in every single facet of quarterbacking every year, nobody has been able to progress the way he has, of course he finds a way to increase his velocity as well, probably a new strength and conditioning regimen that helps him hone in and isolate the right areas for his specific motion, probably tweaking motions and mechanics, he's obsessive over perfecting his craft. Arm strength fades on nearly every single qb with age, Brady has been the only one I can think of who has actually improved over time in that regard.

As much as I hate him, you gotta respect his passion and work ethic. To use such an extreme outlier as a basis for comparison just seems wrong to me

Night shades?

Nightshades—all belonging to a scientific family of plants called Solanaceae—include several thousand species of flowering plants, and most of these plants are not edible as food. At the very same time, however, there are a good number of nightshades that have been enjoyed as staple foods in diets for literally thousands of years. Our WHFoods nightshades include: tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, and bell peppers.

I think this is what nightshades are.

No coffee, no alcohol, no red meat. How depressing.

I saw a video of Flacco throwing the ball damn near the length of the field.

We can turn the panic alarms off.

What is this talk about Brady having a cannon coming out of college? No sir. Not even remotely close to top 3, especially when guys with real cannons were playing (Favre, Culpepper, Bledsoe -irony-, Aaron Brooks, Kerry Collins, etc)

There is a very real reason Tom Brady was a sixth round pick.
