Tom Brady

New England Patriots

2009 Review

tom brady header graphic


Tom who?  Isn’t he the guy you used to see staring at you from the covers of People and US magazine while standing in line at the grocery store a couple of years back?  Well, he hasn’t gone undercover (no pun intended) quite as deep as Menudo or the inventor of those Progressive commercials has, but then again, getting on the cover of supermarket tabloids doesn't get you points in your fantasy football league. 


It’s not like Mr. Gisele Bundchen had a crappy season in 2009, because he didn’t, but it sure has been quiet in Beantown since his Patriots blew their perfect season in Super Bowl XLII three years back.  In fact, Brady put up arguably his second best statistical season ever in 2009, yet because a team’s successes or failures are largely heaped upon the QBs shoulders, it might have been viewed as being a poor season.  However, fantasy owners know better, and no doubt will be making him one of the top fantasy quarterback picks again come 2010.

2010 Fantasy Outlook







Right now, Brady is in the post-Caddyshack time of his career. Meaning that like Bill Murray after Caddyshack, he still will be very relevant, but he will never top the performances he had earlier in his career. Brady is a good enough quarterback to stay in within the group of fantasy starters in the league, but it’ll be tough for him to find his way back into the Top-5 again in 2010.  Without his favorite target around to start the season in Wes Welker, he’ll have to step it up a notch to be considered among the elite this year.  The Patriots suddenly have a bunch of holes to fill throughout the roster, so the team might have to pass the ball more to stay in games, which could end up favoring Brady’s fantasy prognosis. New England also runs a highly impactful offensive system, so the possibility of Brady scratching the top of the QB bluebloods isn’t entirely out of the question, but we’d still suggest taking Rodgers, Brees, P. Manning, Schaub, and maybe even Favre (if he comes back) ahead of him this year.


~ Randy Moss is still Randy Moss


~ Welker will be back, just not for the beginning of the season


~ He’ll be another year removed from his knee surgery


~ He’ll have his first full off-season in a couple of years to gel with the team


~ Belichick is still the coach, which means the team probably still cheats

Contract


Signed a six-year, $60 million contract extension in May of 2005.  The deal included $26.5 million in bonuses that were paid in the first two years.  Blah blah blah, i t doesn’t matter.  He’s loaded, doesn’t play with his contract in mind, and has a long career after football to look forward to.  The remainder is outlined below:



2010 - $3.5 million (+ $3 million roster bonus)


2011 - Free Agent

Brian Hoyer - Given what happened to Brady back in 2008, fantasy players won’t soon overlook the backup QBs to elite, stable starters like Brady again.  After shoring up your skill positions with at least 3-4 RBs, 4-5 WRs, and 2 QBs, taking a flier on Hoyer isn’t a terrible call.

Injury Report

Yellow

Two major knee surgeries moved him from green to yellow. He's almost two years removed from this injury, but our sources tell us the knee will never be the same again.

Breaking News

Pro Bowl: Brady replaced by Matt Schaub expand +

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady pulled out of the Pro Bowl due to multiple nagging injuries to his finger, shoulder, and ribs. He was replaced on the AFC roster by NFL passing yardage leader (4,770 yards), Texans QB Matt Schaub.

Pyro's Take:

Schaub was somewhat of a snub in the first place, and since Philip Rivers also pulled out of the game, Schaub ends up getting the Pro Bowl start on Sunday.
Schaub actually had more yards, more TDs, and a better QB rating than Brady did on the year, and most importantly, his team beat Brady's Patriots head-to-head in the final week of the season.

Brady returns to full practice Thursday expand +

After missing practice on Wednesday, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady (shoulder, ribs, finger) went through a full practice today and will start as usual this weekend.

Pyro's Take:

Brady plays against a weak Jacksonville pass D on Sunday, so make sure you have him, Randy Moss, and Wes Welker in your fantasy lineup.

Brady probable for Sunday's game expand +

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady (shoulder, finger, ribs) was limited in practice again on Friday, but is being listed as probable on the team's Week 15 injury report.

Pyro's Take:

Brady will definitely be playing this weekend and as always, is a nice QB1 start for your fantasy football team.

Brady returns to practice Thursday expand +

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady (ribs, shoulder, finger) was back at practice on Thursday after getting the day off yesterday to recuperate.

Pyro's Take:

Brady won't miss the game against the Bills this weekend and should still be used as a QB1 on your fantasy team.

Brady active as expected expand +

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is active for the game against the Panthers as expected.

Pyro's Take:

It's safe to keep him in as your fantasy football QB this week. We expect a big game out of Daddy Bundchen today.

Brady questionable for Sunday expand +

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady (finger, ribs, shoulder) only went through a limited practice on Friday and is being listed as questionable on New England's Week 14 injury report.

Pyro's Take:

Brady also told reporters on Friday that he's fine and not to worry about him, so we're guessing he gives it a go this weekend. Check back with us Sunday morning just to be sure, but he should be in your fantasy football lineup as a QB1 come game time.

Brady returns to practice on Friday expand +

Patriots QB Tom Brady was seen at the early portion of practice on Friday, though it is not known if he was practicing in full.

Pyro's Take:

We're supposing that the Stetson Man is just fine and will be starting as usual on Sunday. As always, he's a QB1 for your fantasy football team this weekend.

Brady now has multiple injuries after missing practice expand +

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is now being listed as having a right finger, right shoulder, and a rib injury as he missed practice for the second straight day. He is still expected to play this weekend however.

Pyro's Take:

His finger and shoulder injuries are horsecrap, and we're betting that Mr. Bundchen's rib injury came from getting punched in the gut by his supermodel wife while she was giving birth yesterday. Keep him in your fantasy football lineup this weekend unless otherwise notified over the next couple of days.

Brady given day off to hold Gisele's hand expand +

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was given the day off today so that he could be with his wife, Gisele Bundchen, as she gave birth to his second child.

Pyro's Take:

Such a bummer it was a boy. At least fantasy footballers have something to look forward to in about 22 years or so.
Mr. Bundchen should be good to go this weekend and is a must-start as always regardless of match-up.

Stetson Man says he's feelin' (and smelling) good expand +

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady says he feels like he can play to Brett Favre's age right now.
“I feel the best I’ve ever felt,” said Brady. “Five or six years ago, my arm was hurting every day throwing the football. I always used to think, ‘How can I play and always have my arm hurting?’ Now my arm never hurts.”

Pyro's Take:

Great. So in about five years or so, we can all look forward to another few off-seasons of retire/un-retire/retire/un-retire hoopla! We can't wait Mr. Bundchen!
That said, Brady is primed for an MVP-push type of second half, so make sure he's permanently in your fantasy football lineup.

LB Junior Seau re-signs with Patriots expand +

With the Patriots defense in desperate need of a jolt, Bill Belichick and company decided to re-sign 12-time Pro Bowler LB Junior Seau to the team.

Pyro's Take:

We've seen how much difference a 40-year old former player can make to a team (was Favre ever a Former player?), so the signing can't be too bad. He likely won't be any more than a backup, however, with LB Jerod Mayo back and healthy.

Galloway better in Week 2, but not quite in sync with Brady expand +

Patriots wide receiver Joey Galloway did a better job in Week 2 catching five balls for 53 yards, though he was targeted 12 times in the game.

Pyro's Take:

Former NFL QB Trent Dilfer blames Joey's imprecise route-running for his and Tom Brady's lack of chemistry thus far. He also goes on to say that they will get it soon enough... and we agree.
Keep Joey stashed on your fantasy bench as he could become useful later on.

Brady could get back his safety valve this week expand +

Patriots slot receiver Wes Welker (knee) was back at practice on Thursday, but looked to be limited from the start.

Pyro's Take:

Tom Bundchen Brady needs the little guy back on the field in a bad way. Rookie Julian Edelman filled in admirably in Week 2, but it was obvious how much Brady missed his safety valve. We'll let you know throughout the week if it's safe to get Welker back into your fantasy lineup this Sunday.

Tom Bundchen Brady starting the season slow expand +

When asked what the reason was behind his inaccuracy, whether his shoulder or rust had anything to do with it, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady said “I just think it has to do with poor technique... I’ve got to improve on that. I’m going to do everything I can to work on it. I always feel being an accurate passer is really like a good golf swing."

Pyro's Take:

Our guess is that his knee injury is still in his head a little bit. The slightest hesitation on a throw or throwing the ball too soon can make all the difference. It might take him a bit to work it all out, but count on him being just fine.

Brady practices in full on Friday, will start Monday night expand +

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was a full participant in practice on Friday and is set to start the game under center on Monday night against the Bills.

Pyro's Take:

Tommy Bundchen practiced every day this week, so all that concern over his shoulder can be tossed out the window. He's an automatic start for your fantasy team each week, unless Gisele calls in one Sunday morning saying Tommy won't be able to make it to work because she lost the key to the handcuffs...

We hate you Tom Brady, you lucky dog.
