Tom Brady on QB Development: 'Kami telah membodohi permainan dalam banyak hal'
Tom Brady doesn’t believe young quarterbacks are being developed mentally and emotionally as much as they should be.
The seven-time Super Bowl winner shared his dissatisfaction with quarterback development during an interview on FS1’s “The Herd,” expressing that young quarterbacks need just as much investment in their minds as in their physical attributes from coaching.
“I think we’ve dumbed down the game in so many ways to allow for a lesser caliber developed player to get in there and lead an organization,” Brady said.
Brady agreed with Colin Cowherd’s sentiment that there’s more development at the quarterback position from a physical standpoint now than ever. But, as Brady knows, physical gifts can only take you so far. Of course, Brady became the most decorated quarterback in NFL history after being selected with the 199th overall pick in the 2000 NFL Draft.
As Brady showed that non-early-round quarterbacks can have success in the NFL, he isn’t blaming the players for the lack of development at the position. Rather, he believes some of the coaches take the blame for letting quarterbacks fall behind the eight-ball from a mental standpoint.

“There’s a lot of people who have no idea what they’re doing when they’re tasked with coaching a quarterback or calling an offense,” Brady said. “Just like we rank quarterbacks 1-32, do you rank offensive coordinators 1-32? Do you rank quarterback coaches 1-32? What if you had the 32nd-ranked coordinator in someone’s mind or the 32nd-ranked quarterback coach? How is he getting the level of development that the guy [who has the best offensive coordinator or quarterbacks coach] Apakah mendapatkan? “
Brady memuji pelatihan yang didapatnya di awal karir Patriots karena membantunya menemukan kesuksesan segera. Dia benar -benar menarik tirai sedikit ke belakang dan berbagi bagaimana Bill Belichick menjadi pelatih quarterback Patriots selama musim 2001 setelah kematian Dick Rehbein yang tiba -tiba, mengungkapkan apa yang dilakukan pelatih kepala untuk membantunya.
“Dia memutuskan untuk datang setiap minggu dan berbicara dengan quarterback tentang liputan,” kata Brady tentang Belichick. “Dia akan melakukan tulisan besar ini, dan saya masih memiliki semuanya karena saya menyimpan segalanya, dan [he would say]'Tom, ini penutup satu. Beginilah cara mereka memainkannya. Inilah yang bertanggung jawab atas siapa. ' Oke, jika kita berbaris dalam formasi kelompok, ini adalah bagaimana mereka akan menangani formasi kelompok. Inilah sebabnya mereka melakukan itu. Ini adalah kelemahan dari itu. Mengapa mereka melakukan itu. Anda seharusnya tidak melakukan ini jika itulah cara mereka menutupi ini. '
“Selama satu tahun, sebenarnya selama bertahun -tahun lebih dari itu, itulah cara saya mengembangkan dan belajar. … Tidak ada yang mendapatkan jenis pengembangan seperti itu.”

Selain memiliki pelatih terbesar dalam sejarah NFL, Brady juga memuji Drew Bledsoe karena membantunya berkembang secara mental. Model pembelajaran dari quarterback veteran mungkin merupakan jalan yang lebih layak untuk mengembangkan mental sebagai quarterback muda, karena Brady berbagi bagaimana pemain elit lain di posisi itu belajar dari pendahulunya.
“Saya memiliki kesempatan untuk berbicara dengan Andy Reid tentang [young quarterback development and I had a chance to talk to Patrick Mahomes about that this week,” Brady said. “Patrick flat out said, ‘I can’t thank Alex Smith enough for everything that he did for me. All I did was ask him questions in the meeting room my first year.’ I look at my first year, that’s all I did with Drew Bledsoe.”
Still, not everyone had the coaches or teammates that Brady or Mahomes had in order to help them develop and become the great players they turned into. So, Brady is calling for coaches to step up their game.
“There’s not many people who even know what to do,” Brady said of coaches. “It’s not like they’re CEOs of businesses. A lot of times, they’re football coaches, with all due respect, they’re not running large corporations. As Bill Parcells said, they’re PE coaches a lot of times that get elevated to coaching positions.”
