“Saw Him Without the Usual Zip”: Former Super Bowl Champ Gives a Scathing Take On Tom Brady’s Arm Strength

NFL GOAT, Tom Brady does not have a weak arm. But it isn’t an overpowering one either. Technically, the GOAT’s arm strength is out-poured from the lower body. His top footwork and hip rotation make him a champion. But TB12 needs to be consistently good with his body movement to initiate the required power.

Meanwhile, Pro Bowl QB, Phil Simms, who has spent years with Brady, spoke about the legend’s arm strength. “I saw him without the usual zip on his throws against the Ravens. That could have been due to throwing too much into practice,” the 66 YO said on the Sirius XM Mad Dag Radio. Simms is a top game analyst for CBS. The 15-season veteran is not complaining about the lack of arm power. But, he thinks TB12 is probably throwing too much during practice hours. 

Did Tom Brady overdo his practice?

NFL Titan has taken Wednesday off to give himself a break from the tiring practice. However, it did not mean the legend was completely away from preparing for the games. Bucs HC Todd Bowles said Brady is practicing on Wednesdays. Because there’s lots of work to be done.   

A hardworking Brady is a passionate reader of the game. The future HOF-er has a tremendous work ethic. However, his body and age are not with him anymore. Several analysts think TB12 can think about upping his tactical games and patching up his issues. 

Troubling times for TB 12 and the Bucs

The Buccaneers and Tom Brady are facing the worst possible start. The GOAT has dropped two points below .500 for the first time in his 23-year NFL career. In addition, 3-5 is the worst start of TB12’s journey through 8 games.

Talking about the defeats, the NFL titan admitted it is tough to face losses continuously. “No one feels good about where we’re at, no one feels good about how we’ve played or what we’re doing,” Brady said. “We’re all in it together. We’ve gotta go pull ourselves out of it,” he added. Perhaps too much practice is an issue. Alternatively, TB12 may aim at devising a careful strategy that works for him the best.
