New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady dives and misses tackling Atlanta Falcons cornerback Robert Alford who returns an interception 82-yards for a touchdown during the second quarter at Super Bowl LI at

You’ll lose this argument, there’s countless videos on YouTube showing Brady’s “tackling attempts”.

Unfortunately for Bridgewater it was his lack of attempt that did him in. Brady on the other hand is notorious for “attempting the tackle” in a certain manner where there is no shot that he will actually make the tackle.

Example A:

If Bridgewater would have done this no one would have said anything which is just as foolish as grilling the guy for not attempting the tackle at all.

I disagree. It's far worse to be clowned for not giving a crap than it is to be clowned for trying to help your team.

It's easy to cherry pick any one play to pile on someone.

It wasn't a great effort by Teddy but there is definitely a double standard with QBs.

Brady wouldn't even attempt to stop someone to risk getting hurt.

I was glad we got rid of Teddy, but I will never question his toughness. Anyone who does should read what happened to him on the Vikings practice field (he absolutely could have died or been permanently disabled) on one of the most freak sports injuries ever.

To be able to come back from that and play with guys coming at you every play... only a couch warrior would discount that

It's more the fact Bridgewater had to actively get out of the way that's the problem.

Nobody is expecting him to try to chase down a defensive player.

It sucks for Teddy but there is a double-standard for this type of play.

If this was Murray, Allen, Mahomes, or any other elite QB then you likely wouldn’t hear anything about this.

Because it’s Bridgewater (average starter at best) people expect him to risk a possible injury to make the tackle.

I still wish Cam wouldn’t have chased down Trovon Reed in the Chargers game… it would be interesting to see where he would be today if he never suffered his initial shoulder injury on that tackle.

This is along the lines of one thing that infuriates me when Cam is brought up.

People always make a big deal of "not diving" with the Super Bowl fumble. Not only would Manning or Brady NEVER done that, I can actually see Rodgers clearly in my mind, hanging his head and walking back to the sidelines the second the ball hit the turf.

That was the very last chance to win that game, and Cam was about to get absolutely murdered by Von Miller and a whole gang of other defenders. I really think Cam would have suffered several injuries if he had just "dived on it".

The picture people use to make fun of him for it is always super zoomed in and never shows the 4 dudes around him getting ready to kill him, with none of his O line anywhere close.

this doesnt even include his game clinching throw away at the 2:30 mark in the game. 4th and goal and all he had to do is throw it to his wide open reciever, but instead he threw it out of the back of the endzone 10 feet over a wide open receiver.

A game he will def want to forget.

 

Damn, I didn't see that one. Probably not, but is there a clip for that around?

here you go. I already earmarked it for you too. (11:20 mark)

Thanks, and oh man, that was really bad. I mean, it's 4th down, at least give your man a chance at catching it. What was even the point of "directing traffic" like he did if he was just going to toss it like that.

This is similar to Cam getting flack for not diving on that fumble in the Superbowl...

Was a bad action from Cam for sure, but Cam put himself out there every week without hesitation. Teddy does not. Stuff happens and it's easier to write off as a fluke when there is so much evidence to the contrary, a la Kasay in the Super Bowl.

The All 22 of this play is even worse.

Not really. Cam didn’t make a business decision, he saw what was going on and knew he wouldn’t be first so he looked for it to squirt out. Already had defenders crashing on it before he had a shot. Cam woulda suplexed Slay

I mean, Teddy could have made an attempt, and while he could have slowed Slay down, he wasn’t going to be able to tackle him.

 

Im not as hard on QBs when it comes to stuff like this. Cam ruined his shoulder making a tackle, that looking back, I wish he would’ve just let him go.

i meeeeean... 

yes... but there are also situations where you turn it on anyway. this wasn't the second quarter or a blowout. tight, one-score game when playoff seeding is starting to form. that's when you take the ol' nestea plunge

After a blatant uncalled helmet to helmet via Miller. They could have done anything they wanted and got away with it in that game.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.

      I'm excited. I love situations like this when you could potentially find a diamond in the rough on the cheap. And you know guys like this are gonna put in the work and desire way more than others to be great.
