Passing stats around the NFL are up across this board

. But there’s one very noteworthy exception.Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has seen his stats decline this season Authentic Ja'Whaun Bentley Jersey , and that decline is even more notable within the context of the overall improving passing numbers around the NFL.Brady is averaging 7.4 yards per pass this year, while the NFL average is 7.5 yards per pass. Last year, Brady averaged 7.9 yards per pass while the NFL average was 7.0 yards per pass.Brady is completing 65.2 percent of his passes this year, while the NFL average is 65.1 percent. Last year, Brady completed 66.3 percent of his passes while the NFL average was 62.1 percent.Brady is averaging 1.7 touchdown passes per game, while the NFL average is 1.8. Last year, Brady averaged 2.0 touchdown passes per game, while the NFL average was 1.4.Brady is averaging 0.7 interceptions per game, while the NFL average is 0.8. Last year Youth Rex Burkhead Jersey , Brady averaged 0.5 interceptions per game, while the NFL average was 0.8.Brady’s passer rating this year is 94.7, while the NFL average is 94.6. Last year, Brady’s passer rating was 102.8 while the NFL average was 86.9.Of the 23 quarterbacks who have thrown at least 200 passes both this year and last year, only five have a lower passer rating this year. Brady is one of those five; the others are Matthew Stafford, Deshaun Watson, Case Keenum and Alex Smith.At age 41, Brady may finally be declining. It had to happen eventually. Tyreek Hill is really fast, and really good at football. He torched the Patriots for three touchdowns on Sunday Night Football this week Adam Butler Jersey , including the game tying score late in the 4th quarter. After running for that last score, he ran towards the Optum Field Lounge. As you can imagine, the fans were not happy to see him. He was greeted by some angry gestures and even some flying liquid.Hill has taken exception with that and his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, released a statement about it yesterday. Hill is certainly not the first to have some beverage thrown on him. Any time a visiting player ends up in or near the stands after scoring a touchdown, bad things tend to happen. Just watch the first play from this clip.Now the fan that did this should have been kicked out of the game, and, if they are a season ticket holder, should have their tickets taken away – which seems like has already happened: the Patriots issued a statement saying that they had identified the fan responsible Authentic Elandon Roberts Jersey , they would be “disinvited” from all future Gillette Stadium events.This is the right thing to do. That’s unacceptable behavior from a fan, no matter the situation. You want to say something? Fine. But you can’t throw anything onto the field, or throw anything at any player or coach. Think of what he’s missing out on. Every Patriots game, every Revs game, every concert. That’s a steep price to pay for a few seconds of being a tough guy.However, to imply that anything else should happen, as Hill and Rosenhaus have done, is a little over the top. Rosenhaus said that “that type of behavior is unacceptable. The players have to be protected. We want that fan to be prosecuted.” I know that wasting beer is a party foul, but I hardly think it requires criminal prosecution. Some people have brought up the fact that Hill was accused of some bad behavior as well http://www.patriotsauthorizedshop.com/authentic-phillip-dorsett-jersey , but that does not apply here.The fact is that what the fan did was stupid and unacceptable. As a season ticket holder, I don’t want some idiot like that representing the fan base, but that doesn’t mean he should go to jail or pay some sort of serious fine. As fans, let’s try to remember that the players play the game, and there’s no reason for us to get involved in what they’re doing. The ugliness of The Malice at the Palace and the Charles Woodson and Lincoln Kennedy incident in 1999 (probably worth a google) should have taught us that by now.And players should also know better than to go towards the stands to celebrate, with all the drunk people and idiots there, it’s not worth the risk.
