Brady would have made those two TD passes with his fricking eyes closed while in the eye wall of Hurricane Dorian. That's how open they were.

Brady likely would have. He's used to throwing with a glove on in wet/cold weather.

Brady likely wouldn't fare much better in our offense as a whole, which is my point. The argument isn't simply that Fromm missed those two open receivers, but that he does it all the time and that he's regressed a lot this season. My argument is that Fromm appears to have regressed because he doesn't have any reliable receivers to throw to who can get open consistently. He had a couple of misses today due to the weather, but he rarely has open receivers during his progression which is why he either checks down or tries for the outside opportunity against single coverage. I think Coley calls a lot of slow developing plays which isn't great for a QB who goes through his progressions then dumps it off.

This is what Fromm doesn't do. He delivers a very uncatchable ball that 1998 Randy Moss couldn't go get because it's so goddamn far over his head.

Fromm actually does deliver catchable balls consistently. He misses some, yes, but so do all QBs. He's consistently throwing NFL-caliber balls to receivers who aren't making NFL-caliber receptions. There have been several this season that fell incomplete that were caught by Godwin and Wimms in the past two seasons. Cager has been our go-to man for those catches this season but he's been on the sideline almost as much as on the field due to injuries. Our guys can't even seem to consistently catch the balls that hit them between the numbers. We seem to have a couple of those a game. A well thrown slant was dropped early on today, for example.

He throws a great, catchable ball to Swift behind the line of scrimmage as long as there are four defenders in front of Swift ready to kill him.

---

That's usually the only option. He could try forcing more balls but then he'd have more interceptions and then he'd be lambasted for making poor decisions with the ball. At some point you have to realize that he's trying to do the best with what he's got to work with and that all of our offensive woes cannot be placed squarely on his shoulders. He's not perfect, but there are more pieces to our dysfunctional offense than just the quarterback.
