Bucs Raving Internally About Tom Brady Arm Strength
August 4th, 2022
Tampa Bay’s 45-year-old quarterback is on the rise.
At least he is when it comes to arm strength. NBC Sports guru Peter King, the longtime NFL super insider, made his annual trip to One Buc Palace yesterday and got all kinds of access. Sitdown with Todd Bowles, a standup with Devin White, suck-up time with general manager Jason Licht, etc.
King released some of his report at NBCSports.com, and it includes him noting that quarterbacks coach Clyde Christensen told general manager Licht that “Brady’s arm is better than I’ve ever seen it.”
Now that’s quite a statement from the guy tasked with scouring the film of Brady, Drew Brees and Phillip Rivers early in 2020 when the Bucs were hunting a quarterback and diving deep on Brady going back years. Then Christensen took over as Brady’s position coach and the two are very close.
Brady certainly has had ups and downs in training camp, but overall he looks strong, and Joe can tell that when Brady reaches for his fastball it’s definitely there.
Could he really be getting more powerful at 45? Of course, it’s Tom Brady!

22 years of NFL weight training is starting to pay off.

Old man strength. I’m still hoping I get some at 43.

No coincidence Brady’s arm got stronger right around the time he became eligible for viagra!!! I’m just saying!!!

Unless they have elbow or rotator cuff problems, the last thing to go is the arm. Brady has always had flawless mechanics, that helps. I’m sure his “training” program has something to do with it as well.

Lol…Old Man Strength? I’m hoping to get it at going on 62!

He must be drinking virgin blood or something. Whatever keep it up Tommy boy.

I love Brady being here, but realize that unless we win a Super Bowl this year, he will probably be gone.
August 4th, 2022 at 7:39 pm
He’s only getting better. It’s up to the rest of the guys to keep up.

I think you meant 22 years of isometrics, bruh Ole Skool Nole. The differences are staggering, right?
What if George Blanda had access to today’s workout and recovery regimens? He might’ve played to 50 instead of just a measly 48, LOL.

At his age, what I’m most closely watching is Brady’s feet. Those are the first to go, then the arm follows.
See: Manning, Peyton.

His 40 time has improved since he was drafted.
I wouldn’t doubt that his arm has improved also!

What the hell no practice today?
August 4th, 2022 at 8:23 pm
Seemed to me that Peyton Mannings spine was shot more than feet.
August 4th, 2022 at 9:18 pm
Yep, geno. Spine and neck, which feeds the nerves to the feet and hands. The farthest areas from the spine go numb first like fingers and toes….I’m sure Manning had severe neuropathy his last season.

Seinfeld episode, You think you’re bigger than me??? Brady’s response. ” Yes I am”!

Joe,
I also heard from a birdie that Peter King’s visit mysteriously brought a working vending machine and ice-cold sparkling, free water to the media room. Any truth to this rumor, and just how elated were you?
‘Preciate you guys and your reporting – keep up the good work.
August 4th, 2022 at 9:40 pm
Again no practice today? What’s up?

TB12 for MVP

Just get some tequila avocado and hot supermodel wife. Maybe one is more realistic than the other tho
August 4th, 2022 at 10:04 pm
No rumor. Joe wrote about it in his practice notes post yesterday. 😕

Brady is truly a wonder. Hard to believe anyone can play professional football at such a high level for so long. Just amazing.
