Statistically speaking Brady is 100% right from the quarterbacks play for 2023. It’s been way down.
The current crop of QBs is not at the Brady/Manning level in general. I know neither of those two guys were the athletes that some of the current top guys are, but I imagine Manning and Brady having aneurysms seeing the carelessness with which a lot of the league treats the ball.
Mahomes, Hurts, Lamarr, even Tua and CJ Stroud. Herbert is very fun to watch. Even guys like Purdy and Geno are well worth the Sunday sit down. I think Brady was speaking more to lack of accountability due to rules that can create mediocrity. I also think mediocrity is the wrong word. The league has more talent than ever.
Are you taking Philip Rivers and Eli over the first three I named?
Not to mention Aaron Rodgers has played in both eras.
Why Rivers and Eli? They were pretty mediocre in their time. I absolutely would not take those you mentioned for someone like Brees or Big Ben, or Rivers in fact. Eli is a maybe as he was very inconsistent but seemed to come good when it mattered, like a reverse Lamar.
