Brady and Peyton playing behind OLs among dead last in time to throw in the NFL is news to me. Of course during 40 years combined during their careers you can find seasons with below average OL play, but for the most part they played behind really good OLs. Brady elevated his WRs way beyond their talent, Manning did too but he was a HOFer throwing to two HOFers in Reggie Wayne and Marvin Harrison. Calling them scrubs is the most interesting NFL take I've read in awhile

I love how this time-to-throw gets tossed around like it's the coup de grace argument.  He's got the least time to throw because defences don't respect him.  If they over commit on pressure, they will not get burned.  He won't hit the quick slant that forces an LB to stay in the hole.  He won't dump it to a back on a makeshift screen.  He won't take off on a run that forces the DL to rush a little slower so they can react.

TL has the least time because he's the least respected.

It seems the TL-swifties are all content to believe he's a complete victim of circumstance with no responsibility, as the highest paid player on the squad by a WIIIIIIIIIIIDE margin, to be the best player on the squad by an equally WIIIIIIIIIIIDE margin.  That's a good gig.  Give me $55M a year and I can stink it up like an outhouse as well.  Hell, I'll be unreliable at half that price.
