It's not just the drops. I've watched every game multiple times. It was a lot of mistakes from young WRs. Tompkins leaving his feet on almost every catch plus catching with his body. Guys running wrong routes. Toss in his o line was beyond awful and hurt.
Again brady didn't have a great stat year, but he won games. Jaws had him number 2 on his qb list and the nfl had him as the number 2 player.
His deep ball has declined but that's not the teams strength. He plays to the teams strength.
