There are a great many things in the NFL that are subjective, however according to the 2018 Quarterback Annual from Pro Football Focus, Tom Brady’s supremacy as the league’s most accurate passer isn’t one of them.
The 40-year-old Patriots QB ranked top five in every single passing depth in the accuracy charting from the analysts at PFF, who looked at the passing stats from all qualifying players in 2017.
Not only is Brady predictably the top dog in the short passing game and in red zone situations, he also came in neck-and-neck with Drew Brees atop the overall deep throw accuracy leaderboard — an aspect of his game that has actually improved as he’s gotten older.
Brady was also just as clutch and mistake-free as ever in 2017, as he and Alex Smith had the best Big Time Throw vs. Turnover-Worthy plays ratio and were the only two QBs ranked in the top five in both categories. He also had the second highest passer rating under pressure (98.5), and was of course the No. 1 QB in the league when throwing from a clean pocket.
