Скачать или смотреть Here's How Tom Brady's Season Compared To Every 43 Year Old Quarterback

By Michael Hurley, CBS BostonBOSTON (CBS) — Tom Brady’s Hall of Fame career will not really be remembered for his regular season accomplishments. He’s more of a postseason guy. Still, Brady has accomplished quite a bit from Weeks 1-17 throughout his career, and he kept that rolling in 2020, even at the ancient age of 43. (Ancient in football terms, of course. We all know that 43 is the new 34.)Brady capped off his 2020 season with a four-touchdown, 399-yard passing day to help get the Buccaneers to an 11-5 record. For a team that finished 7-9 a season ago, that’s quite the year-to-year improvement. Personally, Brady finished third in the NFL in passing yards (behind Deshaun Watson and Patrick Mahomes) and tied for second in passing touchdowns (trailing only surefire MVP Aaron Rodgers). The four touchdowns on Sunday brought Brady’s season total to 40, just the second time he’s ever hit that mark in his illustrious career. He completed 401 passes, tying his second-highest single-season total. His 4,633 yards marked the fifth-highest single-season total of his career. For comparison, Brady threw for 56 fewer yards and eight fewer touchdowns when he won the NFL MVP Award in 2017 at the age of 40. (Brady did throw four fewer picks that year.)So, compared to his own career, Tom Brady played rather well in 2020. And compared to everyone else who’s tried to play at that age? It’s really no comparison. That’s not necessarily breaking news, as it’s been evident since September that Brady was unlike his 43-year-old predecessors. But now that it’s officially over, here’s the final comparison. As you’ll see by the birth dates, Brady’s the only one who even spent the full season as a 43-year-old. Tom Brady, 2020(Turned 43 on Aug. 3)16 games, 16 starts, 11-5 record401-for-610, 65.7 percent completion rate4,633 yards, 7.6 Y/A, 289.6 Y/G40 TDs, 12 INTs102.2 passer ratingGeorge Blanda, 1970(Turned 43 on Sept. 17)14 games, 0 starts29-for-55, 52.7 percent completion rate461 yards, 8.4 Y/A, 32.9 Y/G6 TDs, 5 INTs79.4 passer ratingDoug Flutie, 2005(Turned 43 on Oct. 23)5 games, 0 starts5-for-10, 50 percent completion rate29 yards, 2.9 Y/A, 5.8 Y/G0 TDs, 0 INTs56.2 passer rating1 sick drop kickVinny Testaverde, 2006(Turned 43 on Nov. 13)3 games, 0 starts2-for-3, 66.7% percent completion rate29 yards, 9.7 Y/A, 9.7 Y/G1 TD, 0 INT137.5 passer ratingWarren Moon, 1999*(*Turned 43 on Nov. 18; his lone appearance came on Nov. 7)1 game1-for-3 (33.3%)20 yards, 6.7 Y/A, 20 Y/G0 TDs, 0 INTs57.6 passer ratingThe quartet of other 43-year-olds combined to start zero games, so it wasn’t much of a competition. Obviously. Yet with this ever-so-brief pause between Week 17 and the super-sized wild-card weekend, it’s worth pointing out the historic significance and complete lack of precedence for what just took place in Tampa.(If you’re looking ahead, Moon, Testaverde and Blanda played at 44. They combined to throw 10 touchdowns and 13 interceptions.
