Since Tom Brady joined the media, he has somewhat surprisingly become one of NFL media's most fervent detractors of modern quarterback play.
Brady has repeatedly argued that the developmental system and hotshot play-callers have left QBs unable to read defenses and dictate plays, reducing the position to one based more on athleticism and execution than intelligence. This line of thinking has also cropped up in commentary from other luminaries of Brady's generation, including Jon Gruden and Peyton Manning.
It can sometimes seem a little unfair, and apparently Yahoo's Nate Tice agrees.
Tice, who played quarterback at Wisconsin and is the son of longtime NFL offensive tactician Mike Tice, said in an appearance this week on The Domonique Foxworth Show that Brady's perspective on today's QBs "does these guys a disservice."
"I kind of really get mad a little bit about some of these old coaches and old players, Gruden, Tom Brady, who I respect a ton, and they just act like the guys today can't even walk and chew gum at the same time," Tice said. "And that really frustrates me because I feel like it does these guys a disservice."
