‘It’s way more checkers than it is chess’: Tom Brady further explained his ‘mediocrity’ comment about today’s NFL
"When Tom Brady said that there’s “a lot of mediocrity” in today’s NFL, some were confused and debated his point.
The Patriots icon further explained what he meant in the latest episode of his “Let’s Go!” podcast, focusing more on the inability of quarterbacks to read defenses and check out of plays at the line of scrimmage. As Brady was discussing how well of a game the Eagles’ overtime win over the Bills was, Jim Gray (one of Brady’s co-hosts) asked him why we don’t see as many games as intense or as well-played as that one, calling back to Brady’s “mediocrity” comment.
“I think the point is, you want to see the game continue to grow and evolve,” Brady said. “That means better coaching, better quarterback play, and better defensive playcalling. I think a big difference too is the lack of time that coaches have with players, coaches have together in the building, people don’t understand the full picture a lot of the time.”
As Brady said that players at most positions only need to know how to do a few things well, he explained that quarterbacks “need to know what everyone is doing.” But he doesn’t think quarterbacks in the league now necessarily know as much as they should, placing some of the blame on coaches because they’re trying to “control the game from the sideline.”
“When you try to control the game from the sideline, you don’t have the answer for everything that’s happening on the field,” Brady said. “Ultimately, as a quarterback, I had all the things at my disposal to get us into a good play. … I had the ability to change the play to get us to a play that I thought would be more successful.
“I just don’t see as much of that in the NFL,” Brady added. “There’s a lot less time that people are spending on it. That’s just the reality. When I started, there was a lot more time we spent on it. Over those years, I developed a lot of those tools in my arsenal to get us into the best play.”
Brady said that his ability to check out of bad plays at the line of scrimmage helped him win Super Bowls and made other quarterbacks, such as Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, and Philip Rivers, great. Now, he thinks that only Patrick Mahomes, Aaron Rodgers, Matthew Stafford, and maybe a couple of other quarterbacks have the ability to check plays at the line of scrimmage.
Brady laid blame on the constant pressures of getting things right in the league for the lack of quarterbacks in the league today who are able to check out of plays at the line scrimmage, saying “in an effort to get it right, people are actually getting it more wrong.” As he thinks it’s particularly affecting young quarterbacks, he recalled that being able to spend time with the Patriots’ coaching staff during the offseason helped him check out of a play that led to an overtime win over the Chargers in his third career start.
“We were talking about how they were going to max blitz us,” Brady said. “We said, ‘OK, if they max blitz us and they get us in that look, we’ve got to check the protection to a seven-man protection, and let’s get the receiver a shot down the field.’ [They said that] to a second-year quarterback!
“I was in the system my whole first year. I was being taught by Bill Belichick and Charlie Weis. We had quarterbacks school and the offseason program. We get into overtime after going the full 60 minutes and I recognized they called this all-out blitz. I said, ‘[Expletive] this, I’m changing it.’ I changed the protection, I threw a deep ball to David Patten, pass interference and we got a 50-yard gain. We win the game on a field goal in overtime.”
Instead of seeing quarterbacks doing what he did at the line of scrimmage throughout his whole career, Brady believes there are too many quarterbacks and teams being “reactive” and trying to fix problems after the snap.
“The more you can be decisive as a quarterback, the better outcomes you’re going to have, the better your process is going to be,” Brady said. “You want to be really decisive as a quarterback. You want to be really sure of what you’re doing. But you need to be sure of the gameplan, the protections, who’s responsible for who if they blitz, and where all of the receivers are going. All of that takes time. We’ve got to allow these guys time to develop.
“The pro game is reflecting what the college game is as opposed to the college game reflecting what the pro game is,” Brady added. “We’re asking pro players to play college football. That’s the biggest difference I see. It’s way more checkers than it is chess. I tried to play chess. I wanted to have three moves ahead of you at all times.”
[Meirov] Veteran WR DeSean Jackson is retiring from the NFL after 15 incredible seasons. One of the greatest deep-threats of all-time, Jackson retires with 11,263 career receiving yards. No player in NFL history has more 60+ yard TDs than Jackson’s 26.

Jordan Poole is currently -37.7 On-Off per 100 possessions which is significantly worse than any other Wizard this season
2nd worst on-off for the wizards is Mike Muscala at -25.3, but he has only played 64 minutes so far. The next worst is Tyus Jones at -23.5 with 381 minutes played, so Poole is -14.2 worse per 100 possessions than the next worst player getting starter minutes on his team. Has there ever been a player more detrimental towards winning than JP has been this season? I've legitimately never seen a comparably nightmarish on-off for a starter on any team in any season. Not a single player on any of the process 6ers rosters came close to half as poor of an on-off.

[Bolt Beat] Brandon Staley: "You guys act like we've never played good defense, that's not the truth. That's not the truth. There was a lot of things that caused us to lose. It certainly wasn't our defense, we didn't play well on offense. We lost as a team and that's the storyline."

[Douzable] I was all in for the Jets getting Rodgers, but I was never a fan of him bringing a good portion of his luggage. You always worry about dynamic of lockerroom in a situation like that. Jets can't really bench Lazard or take play calling duties away from Hackett because they're Rodgers guys.

[OC] This is the Giants second worst season in their 99-year history as measured by point differential per game (-14.8 in 2023). This chart shows their timeline since 1925.
I don't know if you all have noticed, but this 2023 Giants team sucks. As an analyst, the eye test isn't enough for me. I need data, so I got it. And the data confirms that they suck...maybe even worse than the eye test. The Giants -14.8 point differential per game is second worst only to the 1-12-1 1966 Giants who had a per game point differential of -17.0. That 1966 team put up 41 points on offense against Washington in a game and still lost. They lost because they gave up 72.
Below you can see each year's point differential per game for the Giants with a few annotations. This image really puts into perspective just how bad 2023 has been so far.

C.J. Stroud is currently the NFL's leading passer in passing yards/game, on pace for just under 5000 (Sam Howell is the leader in total yards)
Stroud is averaging 291.8 yards a game which puts him just in front of Cousins (291.4) and Tua (289.9).
This pace would put him at 4961 yards for the season which would shatter Luck's record of 4374 (273 yards a game)--in fact at Stroud's pace he'd break it after 15 games.
Plus Stroud has a rating of 101, while Luck finished at 76.5.

Think the NFL referees might be influencing more games this year? You might be right.
In this article, we are going to look into the influence referees and penalties have on a typical NFL game and season. First, all the penalty data comes from nflpenalties.com. If you would like to reveiw any of the data here, or data going back 10 years, you can do so on their site.
Let's break this article down into 2 parts:
- What influence do penalties have on the game?
- What penalties are being called this season in comparison to previous seasons?
If you would like to read more about the penalty research issues & fixes, the full article is posted here:
NFL 2023 - Referees & Penalties Midseason Report
What influence do penalties have on an NFL Game?
First we should try to use the data to determine the amount penalties influence the outcome of NFL games. To do that we are going to look at two charts:
- Win % by Penalty Calls Differential
- Win % by Penalty Yardage Differential
Let's start with Win % based on the difference of total penalties called against each team. In the chart below you will see the penalty differnces , amount of times a difference occured, team records, & Win %.
Win % by Penalty Amount Difference
Look at the range from 8 Fewer to 8 More in the win % column. You will see almost a direct relationship between penalty difference and Win %. The less penalties called against a team, the higher its chances of winning. Outside the 8 Fewer to 8 More range we get into smaller sample sizes, so we are going to see more chaos in the records & Win % numbers
How about the relationship between Penalty Yardage and Win %, will we see the same thing there?
We have many small ranges in this chart so we are going to see a bit of chaos, but again if you look from 60-64 Fewer to 60-64 More range, you will again see a strong correlation between Win % and penalty yardage differential.
Win % by Penalty Yardage Difference
Therefore, the amount penalties called against a team, and/or the more penalty yardage called against a team relative its opponent, can swing Win % about 10% in either direction. Thus this +/- 10% influence is about the influence referees can have on any single game, assuming they dont go completely flag crazy against one team.
What penalties are being called this season in comparison to previous seasons?
The following chart will show NFL Penalties over the past 5 years broken down by quarter, offense, defense, ST, amount of penalties and penalty yardage. As you can see, if we project out the 2023 penalties, we are headed for the most penalties called in a season since 2019, and the most penalties called on the defense since 2020. So it is fair to say, based on the projections, that referees are having more of an influence in 2023 than they have had since at least 2020.
If they are calling more penalties, what kind of penalties are the calling more of & when are they calling them?
This is the sticky wicket. Different penalties have different punishments. All are punished by yardage, but some grant automatic first downs. However, automatic 1st down penalties are the drive changers. When they are taking place late in a game, it is going to appear as though, and in fact it actually may be, a game that is unduly influenced by penalties.
Look a the amount of penalties called in the 4th quarter thus far in 2023(445). This projects out to about 900 4th quarter penalties in 2023, which again would be the most in the 4th quarter since 2019.
The real damning information comes in form of the following charts. The first is Automatic First Down Passing Penalties FOR each team. In this chart the team listed is the beneficiary of an automatic 1st down penalty via the 4 main types of defensive passing penalties: Defensive Holding, Defensive Pass Interference, Illegal Contact, & Roughing the Passer.
As we can see, Tennessee has benefitted the most and Chicago has benefitted the least. And there is a large difference between teams that benefitted most vs teams that have benefitted least.
Automatic 1st Down Penalties FOR
Here is the same chart but now we are looking at automatic 1st penalties AGAINST each team
Automatic 1st Down Penalties Against
Below is a chart showing NET automatic 1st down penalties by team(FOR - AGAINST). It is sorted from team most punished to most helped. Since all these penalties come with auto 1st down, the Total column shows the amount of free 1st downs a team has given away(negative#) or gained(positive #).
NFL 2023 NET automatic first down penalties
Now I am simply going to repost one chart with 2022 and extrapolated 2023 data. This should allow us to see changes in amount/type of calls between 2022 & 2023.
Automatic First Down Penalty Calls 2022 vs 2023
So in 2022, there were 610 of these types of penalties called against the defense for a total of 6529 yards.
In 2023, there are projected to be 695 types of these penalties called for a total of 7348 yards.
The changes:
- Total calls - up from 2.24 calls to 2.56 calls, an increase of 13.95%
- Defensive Holding calls - Down 10.87%
- Defensive Pass Interfence calls - Up 27.98%
- Illegal Contact calls - Up 26.30%
- Roughing the Passer calls - Up 27.82%
So while one of the 4 calls is showing a decrease of just under 11%, it is the least damaging penalty(along with Illegal Contact) among the four. Meanwhile, the most damaging types of calls, Pass Interference & Roughing the Passer are both up nearly 28%(as is illegal contact). Essentially all the referees have done is changed a few of the defensive holding calls into illegal contact calls. While at the same time throwing a fairly massive increase of supremely damaging defensive penalties.
And if we simply combine this information, with the information about 4th quarter penalties being up, it means the referees are throwing more of the most damaging types of defensive passing penalties in 2023 than they have since at least 2020. By doing this they are going to put their influence on games at the very edges of that +/- 10%, as opposed to having less influence over outcomes this year.
Enjoy your football Sunday & best of luck to your team. They may need it.

[Farmer] After the Stafford-Goff trade, Goff met with Andrew Whitworth to discuss it. “[Goff] told Sean I still want to do our exit meeting…’ I was like, ‘You’re crazy. Why would you want to do an exit?’ He said, ‘I want him to tell me right to my face what I did wrong. How do I get better?’”

Why is the Official NFL YouTube bad at highlights?
The highlight video for last week's Texans vs Bucs game (https://youtu.be/bMykBLbbD9s?si=iy0dA9yDLnw_ludq) skips the final TD pass in the last seconds of the game.
From the YT comments it seems this isn't a new thing in terms of the highlight videos having bad editing and missing big plays. Meanwhile random plays will make it.
How is the biggest and richest sport organization in America bad at highlights and is this why they copyright everyone else cuz they are mad their editors can't do it?

[Rapoport]Texans QB CJ Stroud: “I’d never draft a QB who didn’t play another sport growing up. I’d never draft a QB without talking to his teammates first. And I’d have to sit down with him and watch film. I would make him explain where the rules stop and where the instincts kick in.”

[Cox] Jabrill Peppers was asked whether he'd be interested in playing flag football in the Olympics. Unsurprisingly, he said that's probably not the sport for him. "I'm a violent guy. I like to hit people." Said he'd probably get ejected if he tried to play flag.

Giannis getting ejected is the softest ejection I've seen since Tim Duncan got ejected for laughing on the bench.
It's almost as if the Zebras just wanna ruin the fun. Imagine if this was the first time a kid was able to see Giannis in person? All that time, money, and effort to see your favorite player just for them to get the boot.
To eject Giannis over that, but a few days ago Draymond Green is allowed to run and yell at refs for 45 seconds and gets no tech for it is just a gross display of abusive power.
[Congelio] NFL Blitz Percentage versus Pressure Percentage. The NYJ defensive unit is doing something pretty special. They are creating the most pressure despite having the 2nd lowest blitz percentage in the #NFL. The SF, PHL, BUF grouping shows how out of the ordinary the Jets' defensive unit is.

Tonight's TNF game is emblematic of TNF
Tonights game pits the 1-7 Panthers against the 2-7 Bears. I for one am incredibly excited because I believe TNF is about watching bad football.
My favorite TNF game of all time was the WK 14 2013 game pitting an awful Texans squad against my own awful Jaguars. Jaguars would go on to win an incredibly ugly and penalty filled (22 of them) 27-20 with Matt Schaub, Case Keenum, Chad Henne, and MJD putting on a show for a national audience that probably went to bad that night with the same feeling as you would have after going minor league hockey game.
What are some other wonderfully awful TNF Matchups that we can remember?

[Rapoport] #Patriots CB JC Jackson is not expected to travel with the team to Germany for their game against the #Colts, sources tell me and @MikeGarafolo . With questions about his reliability, the decision was made to have him stay home, get through the bye and return in a better place.

NFL Week 10 Predictions Thread (2023 Season)
We're on the backend of the season, /r/NFL! We have another game in Germany this week and it looks like it'll be a bargain bin game compared to last week's. The byes are fours teams this week, meaning two less games to watch. I had a great Week 9, going 12-2 and bringing me to 91-45 on the season. How did everyone else do? We only have two division games this week with four inter-conference and eight cross-conference games lined up. Let's get to it!
Byes: Chiefs, Rams, Dolphins, Eagles
Those are my predictions, let's hear yours. Keep it civil and fun. Best of luck!
Players most likely to get traded by the deadline
With how the season has been going so far which players do you think will be on another team by the deadline?

[Vasquez] The Jets have not had a TD drive of longer than one play since the KC game. All three of their TDs since were one-play drives from Breece Hall (72-yard run vs Broncos, 50-yard pass vs. Giants and the 8-yard run where the Eagles seemed to let him score.)

[Elhassan] I think the Knicks are a team that’s engaged in a ‘civil war.’ That war is between the guys who know how to play and the ones that don’t.
I think the Knicks are a team that’s engaged in a ‘civil war.’ That war is between the guys who know how to play and the ones that don’t.
On one side you got Brunson and the Villanova guys, you got Grimes, Hartenstein, Robinson…
On the other hand of the ledger you got Julius Randle, RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley… guys that are just playing ‘impulse basketball.’ You can get through a regular season on impulse basketball, you can’t get anywhere in the playoffs on impulse basketball.
Edit: fixed a quote in the 2nd paragraph (added Villanova guys)

Which is the best coached division in the league?
No wrong answers here, it's all a matter of opinion. I'm curious which division you think has the best, most well-rounded coaching staff that elevate them above the rest of the league. I'm not necessarily asking which division has the best overall record (AFC North), unless you view that as a decisive metric in answering this question. You can consider tangible and intangible factors alike - just want to hear a diversity of opinions on why you think one division or another is the best coached overall

Has u/nfl opened Pandora’s box?
This thread was posted last night of a shit roughing the passer call from the Thursday night game: https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/s/FQmn2leinm
But now it’s been deleted because of a copyright notice from the nfl. It seems like they don’t want plays that they don’t approve of on here. Did they open Pandora’s box by doing this? Goodbye highlights on r/nfl that aren’t from u/nfl

NFL Week 9 Predictions Thread (2023 Season)
Happy All Saints Day, /r/NFL! I hope everyone had an awesome and safe Halloween with tons of candy. We're into Turkey season now, with the temps getting cooler, fall in full effect, and we're starting the back end of the season. We have a game in Germany this week and it looks like it'll be a good one. The byes are back as well with fours teams off this week, meaning two less games to watch. I had a great Week 8, going 14-2 and bringing me to 79-43 on the season. How did everyone else do? We only have one division game this week with eight inter-conference and six cross-conference games lined up. With the trade deadline over and some shake-ups with certain teams happening, some picks may change based on that. Let's get to it!
Byes: Broncos, Lions, 49ers, Jaguars
Those are my predictions, let's hear yours. Keep it civil and fun. Best of luck!
