Nothing is wrong with what he does. He was very successful at it. But throwing 7 yard crossing routes and dump-offs to your backs doesn’t make you the best athlete in American history, as people laughably say he is. He’s a great QB in an even better system who benefited from improbable luck. He’s not the GOAT of anything. He’s nowhere near the best QB of his own generation. Manning and Rodgers are significantly better players. Never mind the best athlete ever.
So yes, he’s great. Clearly. But based off what he actually is vs what his perception in the media is, he’s the most overrated athlete in sports history.

Going to leave that link there for you to check out. It's a lazy attempt at downplaying how good Brady is by saying he can't throw deep and its been proven incorrect numerous times. Brady could always throw deep and has been effective at it for YEARS contrary to the popular fan narrative. He works the short to mid routes more frequently because they are more efficient throws and keep the chains moving, they result in less frequent turnovers, getting the ball out quickly can negate a pass rush, etc...
The fact that people try and hate on it tells me that they don't appreciate the mental side of the game that Brady was the GOAT at. What separated him was his ability to read the defense and put his players in a position to be where the defense wasn't. There is a reason so many receivers could not have success in his offense, it's because of how much thinking goes into it.
Long story short, I'll take the QB with less physical talent that can make the right read and get it to the open guy, play his best in crunch time, and make those around him better over the QB with a rocket arm or other great physical traits that doesn't get the mental side of things.
