Doesn't Tom Brady utilize the same "throwing school" in the off season?

Not trying to compare one to the other, but a QB working on his craft isn't really a bad thing.  Using "mind games" to motivate him is a concern, but if you look at the coaching he received under the previous regime, and the lack of accountability that was prevalent under Gus, it's possible he simply got lazy.

If a change of coaching philosophy can snap him out of his current malaise, it's a good thing for this team.  If it doesn't, he won't last much longer.  Some players need that carrot and the whip type of coaching in order to succeed.   We will see if it makes a difference over the hugs and encouragement approach with the eternally positive Gus Bradley.
