Tom Brady is having the worst statistical season of his career in his third year as quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and yet, as impossible as it may seem to believe, he is on track to break one of the few all-time records not held by the seven-time Super Bowl winner.
One of the few records not yet held by Tom Brady
The ex-husband of the Brazilian top model, Gisele Bündchen, has thrown 579 passes after three games played, if we make the projection and obviously this is maintained in the four games that remain to the Bucs, TB12 would be attempting 757 deliveries in 2022 and with them would surpass the 727 passes attempted by Matthew Stafford when he was still with the Detroit Lions.
As if that were not enough, in terms of pass completions, the former New England Patriots passer currently has 381, which means that if he keeps up the pace he would reach 498 after 17 games, which would leave behind the mark set by himself with 485 last year.
Symptom of the Buccaneers' poor season
Despite being seemingly positive statistical numbers, these numbers mark a painful reality for the Bucs to accept, they are depending more than ever on their 45 year old quarterback, throwing so many passes and eventually completing some of them are a symptom of two things, not having a good ground game and being almost always down on the scoreboard and having to come back with many passes.
Currently, the Buccaneers are still the lone leaders in the NFC South with a terrible 6-7 record and next week they must host the Cincinnati Bengals, if they lose that game, Tom Brady would have for the first time in his glorious 23-year NFL career, eight losses in a single season with three games left to play.
