Ryan Leaf Details Where Tom Brady Can Improve
June 12th, 2021
Talking this week about how pleased he is with his knee following late-February surgery, Tom Brady made it very clear that he’ll be able to do things this season that he couldn’t do in 2020.
So what are they?
Joe can’t wait to find out.
Former Chargers and Cowboys quarterback Ryan Leaf thinks he knows where Brady will improve. Leaf seems to have moved past his long list of legal troubles to become a rising media star. He talked about Brady this week while co-hosting on SiriusXM NFL Radio.
“I was shocked at some of his deep out routes that were undercut and picked off,” Leaf said.
“That interested me a little bit. I thought maybe arm strength was part of it. I can now attribute that to some lower-body strength — not being able to step into a throw and really kind of get on top of it and line it in there. I feel like he feels better about it, And those passes that you saw that were kind of late and behind on out-breaking routes, they may look a little different this year because he’s got more stability and more foundation under him when he’s throwing those types of passes.”
Man, just imagine a more confident and powerful Brady — with Antonio Brown for a full season and a much more mature and seasoned Scotty Miller complementing the rest of the Bucs’ elite pass catchers.

Is it just me that thinks Ryan Leaf is the least qualified person to give the GOAT QB tips???!!!
June 12th, 2021 at 9:35 am
IMO….the out routes to Brown are unstoppable. He sets up the CB with superior route running.

And next, mothering tips from Casey Anthony

Think of all the talented offensive teams of years past ?
That niners team up there for sure
Now look at bucs :
Evans , godwin , AB , scooter , johnson etc etc
Gronk , brate and OJ
Fournette , rojo and Gio
And the Goat Brady
——
We have been waiting on this for years/ forever
And brady knows playbook and now has a 3rd down back
Brady has to be stoked with his decision to come from THE franchise to the “NEW franchise”
June 12th, 2021 at 9:56 am
Beej, OUCH!! Perhaps Leaf is correct, but the messenger in this case is questionable.
June 12th, 2021 at 9:58 am
Damn @Beeej i mean that was hilarious. And I see how you got there. But damn!
June 12th, 2021 at 9:59 am
Beej
Yup.
June 12th, 2021 at 10:12 am
Most of those throws were to Mike Evans side where those 2 were not on the same page.

Beej- Comment of the year

The final e[pisode of the excellent YT video series “Tom Brady vs. The World, Part 5” is on YT. Check it out, almost two hours of eating crow by numerous talking heads.
One production value I really liked is the sequences of SB plays, he plays snippets from numerous angles, and audio from the Chefs radio team, Gene Deckerhoff, and the TV crew. It makes for a really interesting watch.
June 12th, 2021 at 10:27 am
ooohh that looks pretty cool
June 12th, 2021 at 10:28 am
@Beej
LMFAO
June 12th, 2021 at 10:35 am
Ryan Leaf is arguably the worst draft pick EVER! His comments mean nothing to this Joe.

Hmmm, how high a pick was Jamarcus Russell?
June 12th, 2021 at 11:06 am
Summer going to trash the comments because it’s Ryan leaf but the fact is he knows more about football than any of you here and he makes a very valid point.
I’m guessing most that are trashing him for making a comment of any kind are the same that were trashing Michael Clayton for making a comment.
Apparently, in the mind of a lot of your followers Joe, if you don’t have an extremely successful career and win a Super Bowl you’re not allowed to offer any type of criticism. SMH
June 12th, 2021 at 11:17 am
Well. Not having an ‘extremely successful career’ is a bit of an understatement there.
June 12th, 2021 at 11:17 am
Ryan Leaf does a tremendous job on NFL Radio. These bozos commenting probably can’t afford SiriusXM
June 12th, 2021 at 12:39 pm
BIRD,
It really truly is UNBELIEVABLE.
On paper, this Bucs Offense could truly be one of the best in NFL history if not THE best potentially.
It’s scary.
If we can avoid injuries and stay healthy, and if these guys don’t lose their hunger to win… LOOK OUT.
And Bird…
You forgot to mention… DARDEN!
Imagine if BA and Leftwich find some creative ways to get Darden involved in our Offense. Rotating him into the slot… playing him on some WR screens or sweeps… getting him into open space.
This should really be a FUN year.
I would not want to be a Defensive Coordinator in the NFL trying to gameplan to stop the Bucs Offense.

I’d throw some stones too, but I have worse sins Mr. leaf so oh well.
June 12th, 2021 at 1:39 pm
Bob..HAHA^^^ I thought the same thing when I first read the headline…
June 12th, 2021 at 1:42 pm
Ryan Leaf was an awesome qb in college unfortunately the pressure to perform in the NFL had a way of burning out even the best college qbs. The list is endless. Some just epically burn out and others just fade away quietly. For Ryan Leaf to finally have gotten past his demons is a great place for him to be. He followed Bledsoe and ran the same offense. It made him the number one pick. Just look at how many #1 picks Cleveland went thru for qbs. It was qb purgatory. At least til Baker Mayfield.
June 12th, 2021 at 1:57 pm
Leaf wasn’t giving advice, just his observation. Let’s hope he’s right. The offense could be even better than last year. GO BUCS!
June 12th, 2021 at 1:59 pm
Wow..Ryan Leaf. Ryan countless winner of the “toilet bowls!” I agree that he is very qualified for identifying what stinks. Joe takes Ryan over Tom? Great call Joe!
June 12th, 2021 at 3:22 pm
Hurry up and start season.
June 12th, 2021 at 4:11 pm
Ryan Leaf and JaMarcus Russell should do a pod cast together called “Draft Picks from Hell”
June 12th, 2021 at 5:20 pm
Strange that ints never happen on an AB out route.
June 12th, 2021 at 5:25 pm
Ryan Leaf commenting on Tom Brady is like Moms Mabley and Phyllis Diller commenting on Miss Universe.
June 12th, 2021 at 5:39 pm
🍻Beeej
June 12th, 2021 at 5:46 pm
Joe
really this garbage? Leaf is no better than me to give advice to Brady.
June 12th, 2021 at 6:07 pm
I don’t really see those as tips….but I do see them as a realization of what I thought I saw.. that Tom really didn’t get what he wanted into some of his deep passes. And yes….that damaged knee could be a part of it. I’m not any athlete like these guys.. and know little about QB play. But I think it was pretty obvious. Look at the GB game. He was spot on…a quarter later and a little banging around, and his passes are just missing deep. It isn’t rocket science.
June 12th, 2021 at 6:57 pm
When Ryan leaf talks quarterbacking who actually cares
June 12th, 2021 at 7:37 pm
Haha you don’t have to be a former lousy qb to make stupid comments . Just read some of the bs on this site for examples.
June 12th, 2021 at 7:39 pm
Tom sometimes makes a bad throw but name one qb that never does.
June 12th, 2021 at 8:28 pm
First two words of the title eliminates all credibility to this post.
June 12th, 2021 at 8:57 pm
I like that beej,, just explained the Ryan leaf scenario / relavance to Casey ,, even she laughed 👍

If you people had any reading compression, you’d see he’s not offering tips to TB12, just commenting how he’ll be able to throw certain passes better without the knee issues.
June 12th, 2021 at 9:46 pm
Any of you boys ever have an MCL injury? And Brady played an entire season with it? And you don’t think it would have an effect on his passing upon occasion? Especially after tweaking it in a game? OK… Brady is the man, To play like he did with a MCL problem is amazing. But I for one expect his passing this year to even be better and more crisp as a result of dealing with the injury. And that is something to look forward to.
June 12th, 2021 at 9:50 pm
Maybe that knee is why He under threw Justin Watson on that flea flicker. Watson shoulda scored on that play he was so wide open!
June 12th, 2021 at 10:06 pm
What’s next ,Ryan commenting on how he wasn’t as the team around him!!!
June 12th, 2021 at 10:07 pm
As bad that is
June 12th, 2021 at 10:30 pm
I got to give the Joes credit. He can really hook the dummies with his headlines. There is an art to tickling that reptilian brain and they got it down.
June 12th, 2021 at 10:54 pm
Bob H and Stanglasman, you both hit my first reaction to seeing “Ryan Leaf Details Where Tom Brady Can Improve” before I had read the first words of the article. 😘

I had to spit out my drink when I saw the title of this article I was laughing so hard.
June 13th, 2021 at 8:39 am
why would anyone care what Ryan Leaf has to say about QB’ing??
June 13th, 2021 at 9:10 am
Some of you bozos should relax. Just because Leaf failed to live up to his playing ability, doesn’t take away from his knowledge of the game. Tons of coaches never played in the league and lots of great players make horrible analyst and coaches. Listen to what Leaf is saying and enjoy the insight.
June 13th, 2021 at 11:41 am
Seven. Rings.
June 13th, 2021 at 12:23 pm
JOE(S): How dare you think Ryan Leaf as one iota of credibility??? This post had to be click-bait!!
June 13th, 2021 at 2:24 pm
Quick and easy fix for the Goat simply stop throwing out routes to Justin Watson
June 13th, 2021 at 3:33 pm
LEAVE BRITTANY ALONE!!
